Job description

We are looking for a Manual QA Engineer to own quality on our international web social networking platform, working across both the user-facing product and its B2B side. You will not spend your days on endless regression runs: core functionality is already covered by automation, so your focus is on new features, backend testing through APIs and databases, and analysing automation results together with AQA engineers. There is a steady flow of new and non-trivial tasks, and your work directly shortens the path from idea to production for a product used by around a million people in Tier-1 markets.

About our product:

We have created an international web platform that's genuinely changing how people connect in Tier-1 markets: 1 million users across the USA, Canada, and UK trust us for meaningful relationships that go beyond surface-level matching! Since 2020, we have been the platform for people seeking real connections. Our users enjoy 24/7 communication, seamless content sharing, and a completely ad-free experience. We have found our sweet spot in performance and intuitive design that keeps people engaged and actually connecting with each other. So, you will be part of an ambitious journey toward our clear goal: becoming one of the Top-5 international social networking platforms globally.

• Perform functional and non-functional testing of the web product and its B2B side
• Test new and updated functionality from requirements to release sign-off
• Test backend logic via API (Postman) and databases (SQL)

• Create and maintain test documentation: test cases, checklists, and bug reports
• Collaborate with developers, designers, and product managers to deliver quality releases faster

It's all about you

• 2+ years of experience in software testing
• Solid understanding of testing principles: types of testing, methodologies, and test design techniques
• Hands-on experience in web testing, including cross-browser testing
• Knowledge of client-server architecture and experience in API testing (Postman)
• Experience working with databases (SQL)
• Experience testing internal products such as admin panels
• Experience creating and working with test cases, checklists, and bug reports
• Experience with Scrum and the full software development lifecycle
• Using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot) in your day-to-day testing workflows
• Intermediate English or higher
• Analytical thinking, attention to detail, and ownership of your results

Would be a plus

• Experience with test management and collaboration tools (Jira, Confluence, or similar)
