Manual QA Engineer (with transition to Automation QA on Python) to $1200

About the Company:

We develop modern security systems for homes and businesses, combining hardware and software solutions: smart control panels, integrated sensors, cameras, and services for monitoring and remote security management. Our product is a complex technical system with real hardware and multiple usage scenarios.

We are looking for a motivated Junior QA Engineer who will start with manual testing and gradually grow into an Automation QA Engineer using Python, with mentorship and internal training.

Responsibilities:

First 2–3 months (focus on Manual QA and product learning):

• Complete internal training on testing fundamentals and tools (Jira, Zephyr).
• Learn the functionality of security panels, sensors, and system workflows.
• Write and execute test cases.
• Perform manual functional and regression testing.
• Create and maintain bug reports, verify fixes.
• Communicate closely with QA and development teams.

Next stage (gradual transition to Automation QA with Python):

• Write and maintain automated tests in Python under mentor guidance.
• Contribute to the development and improvement of the internal test framework.
• Run automated tests in CI, analyze results, and help maintain test stability.
• Propose improvements to test coverage and testing processes.

We allocate time for learning both the product domain (security systems) and automation (Python, tools, processes).

Requirements

• 3rd year or higher student in a technical field (Computer Science, Telecommunications, Electronics, or similar).
• English at Intermediate level: reading documentation, written communication, basic spoken communication with developers.
• Strong logical and analytical thinking.
• Basic knowledge of Python: data types, conditions, loops, functions (from courses, university projects, pet projects, or self-study).
• Basic understanding of how computers and operating systems work.
• Ability and willingness to work full-time and combine work with studies.
• High motivation to learn and grow in QA and test automation.

Commercial experience is not required — we value strong fundamentals, motivation, and learning ability.

Nice to Have

• Experience working with Linux (basic terminal commands, file system navigation).
• Basic understanding of computer networks (IP, ports, client–server model).
• Experience with electronics, microcontrollers, or embedded devices.
• Knowledge of Git or any version control system.
• Understanding of basic testing concepts (test types, test levels).
• Any experience with personal scripts or projects in Python.

What We Offer

• Full-time, office-based position in Kyiv.
• Internal training and mentorship in manual testing and test automation.
• Professional environment with experienced QA engineers and developers.
• Clear growth path from Manual QA to Automation QA (Python).
• Paid vacation, medical insurance, and a flexible 8-hour working schedule.
• Office within walking distance of Vokzalna, Universytet, or Olimpiiska metro stations.
