Senior QA Engineer

Senior QA Engineer

We are looking for a Senior QA Engineer who can own product quality end-to-end: build a pragmatic test strategy, execute strong manual and automation testing, and scale reliable UI automation using Playwright.

You will work closely with Product, Design, and Engineering to prevent regressions, improve release confidence, and keep feedback loops fast.

NOTE: On-site / Hybrid remote role. NOT full-time remote. Must be based in Kyiv.

Responsibilities

• Own quality for assigned product areas (test planning, execution, release sign-off)

• Design and maintain Playwright E2E / UI tests (stable selectors, proper waits, minimal flakiness)

• Perform manual testing: exploratory, regression, smoke, cross-browser, mobile responsiveness

• Define test coverage and risk-based testing aligned with releases

• Create and maintain test cases, checklists, and lightweight documentation

• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD with clear reporting and fast failure signals

• Investigate test failures and product bugs, conduct root-cause analysis, collaborate with developers on fixes

• Improve QA processes: test environments, test data setup, mocking, release gates

Required Skills

• 3+ years of QA experience (manual + automation)

• Hands-on experience with Playwright (TypeScript / JavaScript) for E2E testing

• Strong web testing fundamentals: DOM, network, cookies/storage, caching, authentication flows

• Test design techniques: equivalence partitioning, boundary testing, exploratory, risk-based testing

• CI pipelines: GitHub Actions, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Jenkins

• Strong debugging skills: logs, DevTools, flaky tests, root cause analysis

• API testing (Postman or Insomnia)

• Basic SQL and data validation skills

• Strong communication skills and ownership mindset

Nice to Have

• Visual regression testing or accessibility testing experience

• Contract testing or component testing

• Experience with observability tools (Datadog, Sentry) and quality metrics
