What We Are Looking For * 3+ years of experience in manual testing for both web and mobile applications. * Strong QA Fundamentals: Solid understanding of software testing types, techniques, and SDLC/STLC methodologies (Agile/Scrum). * Technical Savvy: Good understanding of client-server architecture, HTTP/HTTPS protocols, and REST APIs (using Postman or similar tools). * Debugging Skills: Confident use of browser Developer Tools and basic SQL skills for data validation. * Tooling: Hands-on experience with bug-tracking and test management platforms (e.g., Jira, TestRail, Azure DevOps). * Test Documentation: Strong knowledge of test documentation (test cases, checklists, test plans, bug reports). * Communication: Upper-Intermediate English (both written and spoken) for smooth collaboration with international stakeholders.
Nice-to-Haves: * Experience mentoring Junior QA engineers or reviewing team documentation.
What We Offer * Financial & Perks: Competitive salary and a personal laptop equipped with all necessary software. * Work-Life Balance: Flexible working hours, 20 working days of annual vacation, paid state holidays, and paid sick leave. * Growth & Learning: 50% compensation for professional workshops, conferences, and English classes. * Personal Support: In-house access to a corporate accountant, lawyer, and psychologist. * Company Culture: Transparent, flat management style with zero unnecessary bureaucracy.
