We're seeking a QA Engineer who brings both creative problem-solving and rock-solid testing fundamentals to our team. You'll be the detective who uncovers edge cases others miss, the strategist who designs comprehensive test plans, and the technician who builds elegant automation frameworks. This role blends manual exploratory testing with modern automation practices, and you'll have the opportunity to pioneer AI-assisted testing approaches as the field evolves.

You'll work closely with product and development teams to ensure our web and mobile applications deliver exceptional user experiences. This is a hands-on role for a self-starter who thrives in fast-paced environments and can balance multiple priorities.

Uncover Hidden Issues Through Creative Testing – Apply exploratory testing techniques and user-centric thinking to find bugs that automated tests might miss; challenge assumptions and discover edge cases
Embrace AI-Powered Testing – Learn and implement emerging AI-assisted testing tools and frameworks to optimize testing efficiency and effectiveness
Build Robust Test Automation – Design, develop, and maintain automated test suites for web (Next.js, Node.js) and mobile applications using modern frameworks
Master the Fundamentals – Create comprehensive test plans, write clear test cases, execute thorough manual testing when needed, and ensure proper test coverage across features
Own Quality End-to-End – Take ownership of the testing process, identify gaps, and proactively propose improvements to testing strategies and methodologies
Collaborate Cross-Functionally – Partner with developers, product managers, and stakeholders to define testing strategies, reproduce issues, and advocate for quality
Manage Testing Operations – Track defects in JIRA, maintain test documentation, use Git for version control, and contribute to continuous improvement of QA processes
