Jobs Ivano-Frankivsk

About the Role

We're a small software company in Ivano-Frankivsk looking for an SDET to maintain and expand our test automation for projects we deliver to our Singapore customer. We have existing test suites in Golang and Python that need attention, improvement, and someone who actually understands why they occasionally fail at 2am.

This is a hands-on role where you'll write code that tests code, debug flaky tests, and help our team ship faster without breaking things.

What You'll Actually Do

• Maintain and improve existing test automation (Golang for backend, Python for API/integration tests)
• Debug why tests fail - is it the test, the code, or the environment?
• Write new automated tests for features as they're developed
• Set up and maintain test data and test environments
• Work with developers to make code more testable
• Communicate test results and automation coverage to Singapore stakeholders
• Decide what's worth automating vs. what should stay manual
• Keep our CI/CD pipeline green (or quickly fix it when it's not)
• Review code from automation perspective during PRs

Tech You'll Work With

• Testing: Golang testing package, Python pytest, Selenium/Playwright for UI tests
• Stack: Golang, Kubernetes, Redshift, React, Nest.js/Node.js, AWS, Terraform
• CI/CD: GitLab CI or GitHub Actions
• Tools: Docker for test environments, various AWS services for infrastructure tests

You'll need to be comfortable switching between Golang and Python, though expertise in one with willingness to learn the other is fine.

What We Need From You

• 4+ years of test automation experience
• Solid programming skills in Python or Golang (ideally both)
• Upper-Intermediate English (B2) - you'll document frameworks and discuss technical decisions with Singapore
• Experience with API testing and test frameworks
• Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and how to integrate tests
• Ability to debug both tests and application code
• Practical approach to automation (not everything needs to be automated)
• Experience working with existing codebases (you'll inherit tests, not start from scratch)

Nice to Have

• Experience with Kubernetes and containerized testing
• Performance testing experience
• Security testing basics
• Experience with test reporting and metrics
• Background in both development and QA roles
• AWS services testing experience

What Working Here Is Like

The Good:

• Small team (you'll know everyone and your work will be visible)
• Direct impact - your decisions and code go to production quickly
• Learning opportunities - you'll touch many parts of the stack
• Flexible schedule (within reason - we need overlap with Singapore time)
• No bureaucracy or lengthy approval processes

The Reality:

• Sometimes you'll need to figure things out yourself - we don't have specialists for everything
• Occasional urgent issues that need immediate attention
• You'll wear multiple hats - pure specialization isn't possible in a small team

What We Offer

Work Environment

• Small, tight-knit team where your contributions matter
• Office in Promprylad, Ivano-Frankivsk
• Direct communication – no corporate bureaucracy
• Safe environment to learn, experiment, and grow
• Regular team discussions and knowledge sharing

Benefits

• Performance-based salary reviews as you develop
• Flexible working hours
• Paid time off and sick leave
• Opportunity to make a real impact in a growing company

How to Apply

Send your CV and links to any public test automation code you've written. Include a brief note about your most challenging test automation problem and how you solved it.

We'll start with a technical discussion, then a potential practical exercise. Final step is a technical call with our lead developer and Singapore customer.
