About the role
- Define and execute a risk-based manual test strategy for web and mobile releases, including clear quality gates and release readiness criteria.
- Define test planning for new features, integrations, and market launches (scope, coverage, estimates, environments, and sign-off criteria).
- Review requirements and acceptance criteria early, identify gaps/risks, and propose test scenarios to prevent defects before implementation.
- Create and maintain high-quality test cases and lightweight documentation in a test management tool (e.g., TestRail), balancing coverage with speed.
- Perform exploratory, regression, smoke, and acceptance testing across browsers and devices, with strong attention to UX and visual quality.
- Investigate issues using repro isolation, logs, and basic data/API checks; partner with engineering to triage, validate fixes, and prevent regressions.
- Drive continuous improvement of QA practices (metrics, defect prevention, retrospectives) and mentor teammates on effective manual testing and quality ownership.
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- 3+ Years of QA experience testing production web and/or mobile applications, with a strong focus on manual testing and end-to-end ownership.
- Strong understanding of SDLC/STLC and Agile/Scrum practices; comfortable influencing quality during refinement and sprint planning.
- Advanced test design skills (equivalence partitioning, boundary analysis, state transition, pairwise) and strong exploratory testing instincts.
- Experience with cross-browser and multi-device testing, including mobile testing and responsive UI validation.
- Technical troubleshooting skills: able to use browser dev tools, read logs, and perform basic API testing (e.g., Postman) and basic SQL/data validation when needed.
- Excellent defect reporting and triage: clear repro steps, expected vs. actual, severity/priority alignment, and strong communication with stakeholders.
- Experience owning test artifacts and reporting (e.g., TestRail), and working with Jira/ADO (or similar) to track quality status through release.
- Advanced English Level is required for this role, as you will work with US clients. Effective communication in English is essential to deliver the best solutions to our clients and expand your horizons.
