Descrizione del lavoro

Role Overview

As a QA Engineer, you will be the guardian of our software's reliability and security. Your primary mission is to ensure that every release meets the highest standards of quality, performance, and data integrity. You will collaborate closely with frontend and backend developers to build a robust testing ecosystem, transforming complex requirements into comprehensive test strategies. We are looking for a proactive professional who doesn't just find bugs, but actively helps prevent them by suggesting improvements in the development lifecycle and advocating for a security-first approach in a cross-functional environment.

Your responsibilities

• Develop and execute comprehensive test plans, focusing on both the AI interface and internal tools.


• Design, maintain, and optimize automated test suites for frontend (UI/UX) and backend (API) components.


• Validate security implementations such as XSS/CSRF protections, secure authentication flows, and data encryption standards.


• Lead the adoption of QA best practices, from unit testing guidance to end-to-end (E2E) automation, in collaboration with technical leadership.


• Define acceptable quality gates and key metrics to measure software quality, ensuring a balance between high standards and delivery velocity.


• Identify, document, and track defects, working closely with developers to ensure timely resolution and prevent regressions.


• Conduct load and stress testing to ensure the scalability of our AI-driven solutions.


• Partner with Engineering and DevOps teams to integrate testing into the CI/CD pipeline and promote a \"quality-first\" culture.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.


• Proficiency with modern testing tools and advanced API testing.


• Strong understanding of TypeScript/JavaScript and familiarity with Java/Spring Boot backend environments.


• Expertise in testing secure authentication flows and ensuring compliance with standards.


• Mastery of Git and extensive experience with bug-tracking systems like Jira.


• Ability to drive the adoption of testing best practices across the development lifecycle, from unit testing frameworks to complex end-to-end (E2E) automation strategies.


• Capability in defining and implementing rigorous quality gates that balance high software standards with the need for continuous delivery and team velocity.


• Proficiency in establishing and monitoring technical KPIs and quality metrics to objectively evaluate and improve software reliability and performance.


• Excellent communication skills in English (written and spoken), with the ability to explain complex problems to different stakeholders.

Bonus Points

• Hands-on experience with GitLab Pipelines or similar CI tools.


• Knowledge of SQL (MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) to validate data integrity.


• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and testing applications hosted on AWS or on-premises.


• Experience with performance and load testing methodologies to ensure system stability under stress.


• Familiarity with ISO 27001:2022 / SOC 2 Type II or cybersecurity audit practices.
