Umber

We’re Umber - a small hands-ond development team working with fintech systems and complex business platforms. We’re opening aremote Manual QA Engineer role to join our team and support two web products that are currently in active development.

About the role and projects

You’ll work across two web products for a long-term client, both currently in active development. 

One of them is a web platform for crypto traders, focused on trading logic, competitions, and internal product flows. The second one is a business platform at the intersection of ATS, HRM, and job boards, built to manage people, roles, workflows, and payouts at scale.

Until now, quality has mostly been covered by engineers. We’re now looking for a dedicated QA to bring more consistency into the process: clearer test coverage, structured checklists, and predictable regression before releases. 

The role focuses on day-to-day quality assurance: testing new features and business logic, exploring edge cases, and maintaining lightweight QA documentation.

How You’ll Contribute

• Validate core flows and calculations (amounts, balances, reporting consistency)
• Design and maintain clear test cases, checklists, and regression coverage
• Run smoke and regression checks before releases
• Log and track issues in ClickUp, following them through to resolution
• Work closely with PM and engineers to clarify requirements and keep QA documentation up to date

What We’re Looking For

• 2–3 years of experience in manual QA for web products
• Experience working with complex business logic (fintech, trading, internal platforms, etc.)
• Ability to structure QA work: test cases, checklists, and basic documentation
• Strong attention to detail and a responsible, reliable approach to work
• English level sufficient for documentation and day-to-day team communication

Nice to have: basic API testing experience (Postman / Swagger)
 

This role is focused on manual testing and quality ownership. Due to the projects’ current stage and fast iteration cycles, test automation is not part of the scope, and we’re not planning a transition into automation in the near future.

Tech & Tools

You’ll work around a modern web stack and typical delivery tooling: Node.js, NestJS, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, TypeORM, microservices, Docker, AWS, CI/CD pipelines, provider APIs. (Devs use Jest for unit tests.)

Hiring Process

• Intro call (30–40 min) with Talent Partner
• Technical interview (60–90 min) with the CTO: a mix of experience-based discussion + a short practical QA task (e.g. exploratory testing on a demo environment, or test-case / checklist design)

Terms & Benefits

• Full-time, contract-based cooperation (FOP)
• 3-month probation period
• 24 paid days off per year, plus company days off for New Year and Christmas
• Fully remote work, no time trackers
• Annual performance review
• Occasional company gifts on holidays or special occasions

Your next challenge is waiting. Let’s connect, talk about the impact we can make, and see if we’re the right fit for each other!

We’re looking for a Full-Stack Developer with a backend focus to strengthen our team on a high-load payment gateway aggregator used across several markets in Asia and LATAM. 

🌏 Your location must be in the Asia time zone.

The platform processes thousands of transactions daily and integrates with local payment providers in each region — acting as a key part of the company’s financial operations.

You’ll work mostly on the backend: improving reliability, integrating with new providers, and making sure everything scales smoothly. Some occasional frontend work (React) may pop up too.

🛠 How You’ll Contribute 

• Develop and scale backend services for payment processing and provider integrations
• Work with local APIs and protocols across different markets (e.g., Thailand, Brazil, Philippines)
• Optimize database performance and handle transactional flows reliably
• Contribute to system stability and fault tolerance under increasing load
• Occasionally assist with frontend tasks (React) — e.g., dashboards, transaction monitoring
• Collaborate with a small full-stack team and participate in technical decision-making

🎯 What Makes You a Perfect Fit 

• 2+ years of experience with Node.js/NestJS and PostgreSQL
• Solid understanding of backend architecture, transactional flows, and API integrations
• Experience working on high-load systems or products with real-time data
• Strong TypeScript skills and a clean coding style
• Familiarity with microservices, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines
• Comfortable switching context when needed and supporting frontend if required (React)

👍 Nice-to-Haves 

• Experience integrating with payment systems or financial APIs
• Understanding of fallback mechanisms and system reliability patterns
• Interest in infrastructure monitoring and performance optimization
• Experience working with region-specific products or international setups
