Job description

HelloWork builds next generation Talent Operations practices and helps companies build teams. We're looking for a QA Engineer to join one of our client teams in Helsinki.

By applying to our positions we will invite you for a meet & greet with one of our experts to discuss in more detail the fit of role for you. After the discussion we will schedule a discussion between the hiring party. No strings attached.

You'll make sure software works reliably before users see it. This means building test automation that catches bugs early, designing test scenarios that cover edge cases, and working with developers to prevent issues from happening in the first place.

What you\'ll do

• Design comprehensive test strategies that cover functional testing, API testing, and user interface validation
• Build automated test suites using tools like RobotFramework, Selenium or Cypress that run continuously with deployments
• Create performance tests that simulate real user loads and identify bottlenecks before they affect customers
• Develop API test automation that validates data integrity, error handling, and integration points between different services
• Work closely with developers during feature development to identify potential testing challenges and edge cases
• Perform exploratory testing to discover usability issues and unexpected behaviors that automated tests might miss
• Collaborate with product teams to understand user workflows and ensure they\'re thoroughly tested

What we\'re looking for

• Several years of experience in software testing and quality assurance of complex products and architectures
• Strong experience with test automation frameworks and tools (Selenium, Cypress or similar)
• Knowledge of API testing tools and techniques (Postman or similar)
• Experience with performance testing tools and load testing methodologies
• Understanding of CI/CD pipelines
• Solid knowledge of web technologies and how to test them effectively
• Experience with both manual testing techniques and automated testing strategies
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail

Nice to have

• Experience with mobile application testing
• Knowledge of security testing principles and tools
• Experience with containerized testing environments (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Understanding of database testing and SQL for data validation
