QA specialist

We are looking for a QA specialist who is hands-on with web application testing and able to ensure product quality. The projects are strongly product-oriented: a lot of work with forms, business logic, data, and UX, with a backend component (API + database + jobs).

Must-have

• Product-level manual testing: functional, integration, regression, exploratory. You know when to use each type and why.
• API testing: you can verify endpoints, data validation, errors, and edge cases.
• Requirements analysis and tester mindset: you read requirements, identify potential gaps already at the documentation stage, ask clarifying questions, and design test scenarios.
• Defect reporting: you can report bugs precisely, with reproduction steps, logs, screenshots, and videos.
• A big plus if you know how to fix the issue and it takes you less time than writing a “perfect” bug ticket.
• Close cooperation with the client and development team: you can communicate with a non-technical client, guide the conversation to gather the necessary information, and pass it clearly to the team.
• Writing and maintaining test documentation: you create test cases*, checklists, describe business flows — nobody likes it, but it has to be done.
• * You do not have to add test cases in task comments. They are for you, so you can test the task comprehensively.
• Client communication: you can talk to a non-technical client, gather information, translate it for the team, and jointly agree on priorities.
• Independence and initiative: you see what can be improved in processes, testability, UI/UX and speak up about it.

Strong plus

• E2E automation: practical knowledge of one E2E automation tool, e.g. Playwright, Cypress, Selenium.
• Integration tests: practical experience in writing and maintaining integration tests using a framework such as Vitest or Jest.
• Code reading: you understand TypeScript well enough to spot logical issues.
• Local environment: you can set up the project locally with support and test changes on a branch.
• Monitoring and observability: knowledge of Grafana, Datadog, Sentry — you can read logs and metrics and identify anomalies.
• AI-supported testing:
  • You use AI for support, e.g. generating test cases, scenarios, and test data.
  • You critically review the output: you understand the generated tests and adapt them to the project context.
  • You are aware of AI limitations (hallucinations, security, performance, maintainability).
• Domain experience: e-commerce / inventory / warehouse / quotation calculations.

Nice to have

• ISTQB Foundation Level certificate.

Expectations by level

Mid

• 3+ years of commercial experience in web application testing.
• You can independently test a feature end-to-end: UI, API, flow, edge cases.
• You have experience in testing forms.
• Prioritization: you know what to test first, especially when working on multiple projects simultaneously.
• You can communicate with business stakeholders: you do not hide behind the PM, you cooperate directly.

Senior

• You can create a Test Plan: testing strategy, scope, risks.
• Proactive: you identify what should be improved or optimized in processes, testability, and code quality, and communicate it.
• You influence the way work is organized: you propose improvements in workflow, automation, and documentation.

Scope of work (core for both levels)

• Testing features in a Next.js full-stack environment (UI + API + database + integrations).
• A lot of work with forms and business logic (dynamic flows, validation, edge cases).
• Defect reporting: precise, with steps, screenshots, and logs.
• Creating and maintaining test documentation (test cases, flows, business scenarios).
• Working in a small team (2–6 people), fast iterations, direct communication with the client.
• Ensuring product stability: regression testing, smoke tests before release, verification of critical paths.

Cooperation model

• Rate: 100-150 PLN/hour B2B, depending on level.
• Client: USA
• Work mainly in Polish time zone with overlap until approx. 5.30 PM CET.
• Communication: meetings, async updates, documentation.
• Project length: 3–6 months with possible extension.
