Strong Middle QA Engineer

📋 Role Overview

We seek a Strong Middle QA Engineer (Full-Time) to join our team on a humanitarian transparency platform. This is not just an execution role — we're looking for someone who will own quality on the product long-term: build the QA process from scratch, maintain it as the platform grows, and be the go-to person for everything testing-related. The role combines thorough manual testing with building and maintaining automated test coverage across a web application and a Progressive Web App (PWA).
 

🧙‍♂️In this role, you will

• Design and build the QA process from scratch — test strategy, documentation, tooling.
• Create and execute test cases for web and PWA applications.
• Perform manual testing focused on functionality, usability, and responsiveness.
• Build and maintain automated tests for regression and smoke coverage (Playwright or pytest).
• Write clear, structured bug reports with reproduction steps, scoped severity, and hypotheses about the cause where possible.
• Re-test resolved issues and close the loop on tickets.
• Verify APIs via DevTools / Postman — payload, response, status codes, error handling.
• Test for cross-browser and cross-device compatibility.
• Create and maintain QA documentation from scratch: test plans, checklists, test cases, regression reports, release notes.
• Document your work and support knowledge sharing within the team.
• Plan and run release regression cycles, prioritize coverage by risk under the timebox

🎯You may be interested if

• You want to be the quality owner on a product, not just a task executor — building the process, maintaining it, and growing with the platform.
• You're comfortable working across both manual and automated testing.
• You take ownership of quality end-to-end, not just finding bugs.
• You enjoy setting up QA processes and documentation from scratch.
• You're excited to collaborate in a remote, cross-functional environment.
• You value autonomy, clear communication, and working in a supportive, small-team setting.

👌 Role Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in QA for web applications.
• Strong manual testing skills: functional, regression, exploratory.
• Hands-on experience with test automation (Playwright, pytest, or similar).
• API testing experience (Postman or similar).
• Confident with browser DevTools.
• Ability to work autonomously and define your own priorities.
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum delivery methodology.
• Experience creating QA documentation from scratch (test plans, checklists, reports).
• Familiarity with data-heavy interfaces.
• English proficiency at B2 level or higher.

Nice to have:

• Experience testing PWA or mobile web applications.
• Experience as the first / only QA on a product (single-QA team experience)
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and integrating tests into them.
• Experience with performance or load testing basics.
• Experience with performance / load testing.
• Experience with security testing basics.
• Background in projects involving data-heavy or dashboard-style interfaces.

💻 Working Conditions

• Employment Type: Full-Time
• This is a fully remote position with the entire team across Ukraine.
• 20 working days of paid vacation per year.
• The team collaboratively defines deadlines, ensuring a balanced and manageable workload. The focus is on delivering commitments on time.
• People over process — we have structure, but we don't let it get in the way of common sense.
• Transparency — we build a transparency platform, and we operate the same way internally. No hidden agendas, no politics.
• Quality as a culture, not a checkbox — we believe quality is everyone's responsibility, but someone has to lead it. That's you.
• Flexible working hours to promote a healthy work-life balance.
