Job description

About us

This role is fully remote, you can be located anywhere in Europe and UK.

Hi there! Thanks for being here and let’s get started.

Cycloid focuses on scaling platform engineering initiatives. We optimize the developer experience and operational efficiency by accelerating the delivery of a portal and platform, alleviating the cognitive load on IT teams and advocating for FinOps & Green IT practices. With our Internal Developer Portal and Platform, you don’t need to start from scratch to get a fully customized solution.

Platform teams design, build and run the platform enabling end-users to visualize, deploy and manage existing and new projects, interact with cutting-edge DevOps and Cloud automation without the need to become an expert, while keeping best practices in place, cloud expenses under control with a minimum carbon footprint.

Cycloid is an Internal Developer Platform and an internal developer Portal with modules around self-service portal and platform orchestration, project lifecycle and resources management, FinOps and GreenOps and plugins. It can be consumed through the console, in CLI or in API.

At Cycloid, we’re an open organization meaning that your voice and point of view will have a true impact on how we work and the decisions we make. So, as you can imagine, we’re looking for someone who is keen on sharing his/her ideas and opinions. Don’t be shy!

One goal: to make our internal developer platform and portal the leading platform tool in the world, done sustainably.

Sounds like a plan, right?

What is my challenge?

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. This means you will not only test the UI, but you will also get your hands dirty with the infrastructure logic that our tool manages. You don't need to be a Terraform expert on day one, but you must be eager to learn how to use Infrastructure as Code to effectively test the customer journey.

What You Will Do

1. 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.”

2. Product Mindset & User Advocacy

   • 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.

What should I bring to the table?

• 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.

What we bring to the table

• 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
