QA Engineer (Toolbox QA)

📋 Description

• Own quality for several product areas and drive testing strategy.
• Participate in monthly release acceptance and help make release-readiness decisions.
• Perform functional, exploratory, regression, and acceptance testing for new and changed functionality.
• Search for, localize, and reproduce complex issues, report them in our issue tracker, and verify fixes.
• Work closely with developers during implementation, not only after features are considered ready for testing.
• Assess risks, define test scope, and decide what should be covered manually, what should be automated, and what must block a release.

🎯 Requirements

• At least three years of experience in QA for complex software projects.
• Can work independently, take initiative, and manage tasks well.
• Are comfortable owning a broad area of responsibility and making quality decisions at the project level.
• Have experience testing desktop applications, client-server systems, or technically complex integration scenarios.
• Understand how to test systems that include UI, background processes, local services, network communication, and server-side components.
• Are confident investigating difficult problems using logs, metrics, system tools, and hypothesis-driven debugging.

Technical requirements

• Solid understanding of testing methodology, including risk-based testing, regression strategy, exploratory testing, and release validation.
• Experience testing complex applications on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and/or a good understanding of client-server architecture, HTTP, authentication flows, and integration points between components.
• Ability to investigate issues related to networking, process lifecycle, local environment, configuration, and OS-specific behavior.
• Confidence working with logs, thread dumps, command-line tools, proxies, and other debugging instruments.
• Basic programming skills sufficient to read code, understand implementation details, write small utilities, and create meaningful test scenarios.
• Familiarity with Kotlin and/or Java.

We’d be especially thrilled if you:

• Can write automated tests in Kotlin or are comfortable contributing to automation when needed.
• Have experience with integration testing, infrastructure-related testing, or validating distributed workflows.
• Have worked with release processes, release acceptance, and quality gates in products with frequent releases.
• Can define a quality approach for a new subsystem from scratch and drive it with limited guidance.
• Enjoy improving processes, not just following them.
