About the role
Senior QA Engineer with Automation needed to join the Engineering team. This is a QA role with a meaningful automation component: the focus is on strong testing fundamentals, solid software design foundations, and identifying where automation adds real value, rather than a pure automation-first approach.
The role involves testing complex integrated web applications across both UI and API layers. Initially, most of the work will be manual QA; in the mid term, the expected split is roughly 70/30 automation-to-manual.
Responsibilities
- UI and API testing of complex integrated web applications
- Developing and refining test plans
- Writing and maintaining automated tests, primarily using Cypress
- Close collaboration with developers in an Agile environment
- Tracking and managing test cases using JIRA, TestRail, and Qmetry
- Identifying areas where manual testing processes can be automated for reliability and maintainability
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience as a Manual QA, at a senior level
- Some hands-on experience with QA automation: writing or maintaining automated tests for UI or API scenarios
- An automation-oriented mindset: comfort with programming concepts and logical problem-solving
- Understanding of HTTP, HTML, AJAX, JSON, REST APIs, and client-server architecture
- Basic knowledge of SQL
- Strong written and spoken English (interviews are conducted in English)
- Ability to freely communicate in Russian or Ukrainian
Nice to Have
- Hands-on experience with Cypress, Playwright, or Selenium
- Understanding of CI/CD systems
- Experience with Agile methodology
- Experience with JIRA, TestRail, and Qmetry
- Basic knowledge of Linux (Ubuntu command line)
- Basic Git knowledge
Benefits
Compensation: Up to $4,500 gross/month
What's Offered
- Stable, long-term position with a well-established American company (many team members have 5+ years of tenure)
- Competitive compensation
- Friendly and supportive team culture
- Good vacation policy
