Job description

Company: Trineo Location: Gdynia, Poland — Remote or Hybrid Contract: B2B English: Communicative (written & spoken)

You’ll join a small, dedicated team building a cloud‑based Video Surveillance platform for our client — a US company in the security industry. The product spans a web application, backend services and APIs, and edge‑connected devices that stream and analyze video in real time. It’s a serious, production‑grade system with real users, real uptime expectations, and plenty of interesting things to test: live video, multi‑stream playback, real‑time events, and integrations across cloud and device.

You’ll be the first automation tester on the team, which means real ownership: you’ll help shape how testing is done here, not just execute someone else’s plan.

What you’ll do

• Design, write, and maintain automated end‑to‑end tests for the web application using Playwright.
• Build and extend backend / API test suites using Robot Framework (and Pytest where it fits).
• Design test cases based on the test plan, and contribute to the test plans themselves.
• Test REST APIs and validate JSON‑based data flows.
• Cover real product scenarios: video playback, multi‑stream grids, real‑time events, user and access management.
• Investigate failures, file clear and reproducible bug reports, and verify fixes.
• Collaborate closely with developers and the client’s team to keep quality high as the product evolves.
• Help establish and grow the automation foundation as the team scales.

What we’re looking for

• Hands‑on experience writing automated tests with Playwright (or a similar modern E2E framework — Cypress, Selenium — with willingness to work in Playwright).
• Experience with Robot Framework and/or Pytest.
• Good understanding of Python.
• Good understanding of modern web application architecture (REST API, UI principles, etc.).
• Familiarity with API testing (REST, JSON).
• Comfortable with Git and working in a CI/CD workflow.
• A solid QA mindset: you think about edge cases, you write clear repro steps, you care about what could break.
• Communicative English — the product, codebase, and client communication are all in English.
• Ability to work mostly in Polish business hours, with some flexibility to overlap with the US when needed.

Nice to have

• Mobile test automation experience — Appium, especially iOS.
• ISTQB certificate.
• BrowserStack experience.
• Exposure to video / streaming / media‑heavy applications.
• Background in the security, surveillance, or IoT / edge‑device space.
• Basic SQL (Postgres / MySQL).
• Experience testing cloud‑deployed services (AWS).

What can we offer

• A long‑term role on a stable, production project for an international client.
• Remote or hybrid work (Gdynia / Tricity area for hybrid).
• Real ownership as the first automation engineer on the team — your decisions shape the test approach.
• Direct collaboration with an experienced dev team and the client.
• A modern stack and a domain where your tests actually matter.

Recruitment process

• Intro call with Trineo.
• Technical interview with the client.
• Offer (or honest feedback if it’s not a match).

Trineo is a software services company based in Gdynia. For this role we’re building a dedicated development & QA team working in a time‑and‑material model for our client.
