About the role

  • You need to test a product designed for technical users. To succeed, you don’t just need to find bugs; you need to become a "power user" of our own platform.
  • As a full member of the Product Team, you will work hand-in-hand with Frontend, Backend, Ops, and Design to ensure our releases are robust and our user experience is seamless.
  • End-to-End Quality Ownership Hybrid Testing: You will mix manual testing (to understand the "feel" of new features) with robust automation(using Playwright) to secure the codebase.
  • Full-Stack QA: You won't just test the frontend. You will perform integration testing, validating that the Backend, Frontend, and Infrastructure logic communicate correctly.
  • Release Management: You will be the gatekeeper of our releases, ensuring no regressions occur and managing the workflow from development to "Done."
  • The User’s Voice: You will test the product from the perspective of our customer. If a workflow feels clunky, you speak up.
  • Error Message Hygiene: You will ruthlessly review error messages. You ensure the platform speaks "Human," not "Backend Exception," and help enforce guidelines for clarity.
  • Spec Validation: You will challenge the roadmap. You will validate specifications and "Definition of Done" with the Product and Ops teams before code is even written.
  • Documentation Guardian: You will ensure that the documentation stay up to date and remains understandable for everyone.

Requirements

  • An Experienced QA: You have a proven track record in software quality assurance and are comfortable creating testing scenarios in complex environments
  • Tech-Curious & Capable: You may not be a DevOps expert yet, but you are not afraid of a terminal. You are willing to learn how to manipulate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) because you know you can't test the product if you can't use it.
  • A Playwright Fan: You have experience setting up and maintaining automated E2E test suites (preferably with Playwright).
  • Product-Oriented: You care about the business value of what you are testing. You understand that a bug-free feature is useless if it doesn't solve the user's problem.
  • A Remote Pro: You are fluent in English, based in Europe, and thrive in a distributed team where autonomy and communication are key.
  • Ideally, you also have...
  • Experience with IaC: Familiarity with DevOps stacks,Terraform or Ansible is a massive plus and will help you hit the ground running.
  • Technical Stack: Familiarity with Vue.js and Golang is a bonus.
  • Startup Experience: You are used to fast-paced environments where requirements evolve, and you are comfortable wearing multiple hats.
  • Platform Knowledge: Previous exposure to DevOps culture or Platform Engineering tools.
Benefits
  • Flexible and transparent work environment, including 100% remote work in Europe or UK
  • Opportunity to work with a passionate and friendly team on impactful projects
  • Professional development opportunities and support for continued learning
  • A commitment to sustainability and making a positive impact on the environment
  • Competitive package
  • Home office setup up to €1200
  • 1 retreat workshop per year somewhere in the EU
