QA Engineer

Dataforest is seeking a QA Engineer. If you are looking for a challenging project, and a friendly, supportive team ‒ you have found the right place to send your CV.

Responsibilities:

• Test web applications across the full stack: frontend (React.js, Next.js, React Native) and backend (REST, Python, DRF/FastApi).
• Design and execute load-sensitive test scenarios specific to high-traffic platforms (casino, gaming, fintech).
• Verify critical flows: transactions, balance updates, session integrity, concurrent user actions, race conditions.
• Create and maintain test cases, checklists, and test documentation for complex backend logic and business rules.
• Perform functional, regression, exploratory, and edge-case testing across the SDLC.
• Report, track, and verify defects in JIRA with clear reproduction steps and environment context.
• Collaborate with developers, QA leads, and product teams to clarify requirements and cover risk areas.

• Use tools like JIRA, Confluence, and Git/Bitbucket in daily work.

   

Professional requirements:

• 3+ years of experience testing web applications, with a strong emphasis on backend and API testing (REST).
• Hands-on experience with high-load platforms — casino, gaming, betting, fintech, or similar domains.
• Deep understanding of backend testing specifics: data consistency, concurrency, transaction flows, state management.
• Proficiency in API testing with Postman or similar tools (required, not nice-to-have).
• Experience with database querying (SQL) for data validation.
• Knowledge of SDLC and ability to identify test coverage gaps in complex distributed systems.
• Experience writing thorough test documentation for non-trivial backend scenarios.
• Experience with teamwork tools: JIRA, Confluence, Git/Bitbucket.

• Strong communication skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.

   

Nice to have:

• Experience with payment systems (Stripe, PaySafe, or similar) and payment flow testing.
• Understanding of RNG, game logic, or compliance requirements in gaming/casino platforms.
• Experience with performance or load testing basics (JMeter, k6, or similar).
• Knowledge of security testing basics relevant to financial or gaming systems (auth flows, session handling, input validation).
