Middle QA Engineer (Manual + Automation)

Remote | Full-time | $1,800–2,500/month

We are looking for a Middle QA Engineer to join a newly forming technical team working on existing web-based CRM and trading platform products.

This is a combination of Manual and Automation QA.

We are currently building a structured QA process from the ground up, so we are looking for someone who can not only test assigned tasks but also help establish practical testing processes, documentation, regression coverage, and automation.

Previous experience in FinTech, Forex, CFD, or trading is not required. We will provide product-specific onboarding and explain the business logic.

What you will work with

The main products are:

• Web-based CRM system
• Web-based CFD/trading platform
• Desktop and responsive/mobile web interfaces
• REST APIs and third-party integrations
• Real-time functionality
• Multiple environments, including staging and production

You will be testing existing functionality, bug fixes, improvements, and new functionality.

Responsibilities

• Perform manual functional, regression, smoke, and exploratory testing
• Test bug fixes and new functionality before release
• Verify fixes after deployment to production
• Reproduce reported production issues using provided test data and scenarios
• Compare behavior between staging, current production, previous/alternative production environments when required
• Investigate frontend issues using browser DevTools, including Console and Network
• Analyze requests, responses, API behavior, browser errors, and other technical information needed to identify issues
• Test REST APIs and third-party integrations when required
• Create and maintain test cases, checklists, and regression scenarios
• Build a structured QA process from scratch together with the team
• Introduce and maintain automated regression testing for critical functionality
• Identify which scenarios should be automated and propose an appropriate automation approach
• Perform smoke testing after deployments
• Work closely with the Project Manager and Full-Stack Developers
• Gradually build strong knowledge of the product and its business logic
• Keep QA documentation practical, understandable, and up to date

Requirements

• 2+ years of commercial QA experience
• Strong Manual QA fundamentals
• Commercial experience with test automation
• Understanding of web application architecture
• Good knowledge of browser DevTools
• Experience testing REST APIs
• Understanding of HTTP requests/responses, status codes, cookies, sessions, authentication, etc.
• Experience creating test cases, checklists, and regression suites
• Understanding of regression, smoke, functional, and exploratory testing
• Ability to reproduce and investigate complex issues rather than only verify predefined scenarios
• Ability to work with an existing product where documentation may initially be limited
• Git/GitHub familiarity
• English — Intermediate or higher
• Ability to work independently after the onboarding period

Experience with database/SQL testing is a plus but is not mandatory.

Experience with trading or FinTech products is not required.

Automation

We do not require one specific automation framework.

We are looking for someone who understands automation principles and can evaluate the existing product, propose an appropriate approach, and gradually build automated regression coverage for critical functionality.

Experience with tools such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or similar frameworks is welcome.

What we expect during the first months

During the first 1–3 months, you will receive onboarding and product-specific guidance.

We do not expect you to understand the complete CRM and trading logic immediately.

After the onboarding period, we expect you to:

• Understand the core functionality of the CRM and trading platform
• Independently reproduce most reported issues
• Understand where and how to investigate a problem
• Recognize possible dependencies between different parts of the system
• Maintain regression coverage
• Communicate clearly with developers and the Project Manager
• Become increasingly independent in planning and executing testing

Working conditions

• Fully remote
• Full-time
• Working hours: 09:00–18:00 GMT+3 / 10:00–19:00 GMT+4
• Monday–Friday
• No night or weekend on-call requirements
• Probation/onboarding period: 1–3 months
• Compensation: $1,800–2,500/month, depending on experience and technical level
• Long-term cooperation
• English: Intermediate or higher

Important

We are currently forming a new technical team and establishing development and QA processes.

This role is best suited to someone who is comfortable joining an existing, complex product, learning its logic, asking the right questions during onboarding, and then becoming increasingly independent.

We value reliability, clear communication, ownership, attention to detail, and the ability to investigate a problem instead of simply following a predefined checklist.
