The Role

You'll help design and implement automated tests, support our QA processes, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure our apps meet a high standard of quality. This role offers a supportive, hands-on environment with opportunities to grow into more senior responsibilities as the team expands.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in QA, with exposure to test automation (framework development is a plus)
  • Working knowledge of at least one programming language commonly used in test automation: JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, or Ruby
  • Familiarity with at least one automation tool (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, WebdriverIO, or Jest)
  • Good API testing experience (e.g., using Postman)
  • Basic understanding of Git and exposure to CI/CD concepts (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
  • Practical experience using AI tools and openness to AI-assisted approaches in QA
  • Familiarity with agile methodologies
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset; detail-oriented, organized, and eager to build structured testing practices
  • Good communication and collaboration skills
  • Excellent English skills
  • Eagerness to learn from senior QA engineers and grow into advanced testing responsibilities

Bonus points:

  • Basic exposure to cloud platforms or non-functional testing concepts
  • Experience with mobile device test automation frameworks (e.g., Appium, Maestro)

Key Responsibilities

  • Help design, build, and maintain automated tests for web, mobile, and API applications under senior guidance
  • Write and execute functional and regression test cases, both automated and manual
  • Support integration of automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and analyze results to flag defects
  • Collaborate with development and product teams to understand acceptance criteria and contribute to product quality discussions
  • Conduct manual and API testing as needed, and maintain clear, detailed test documentation
  • Learn from senior team members and gradually take on more ownership of test scenarios and tooling

Qualities for Success

  • Quality-first mindset with strong attention to detail
  • Curious and proactive—likes digging into why something broke, not just flagging it
  • Comfortable asking questions and making testing decisions with guidance, while building independence
  • Eager learner who wants to build testing tools and methodologies over time
  • Genuine care for product quality and user experience

Where You’ve Likely Developed These Skills

  • Work, personal, academic, or internship projects involving testing or QA
  • Roles in product-focused tech companies
  • Exposure to agile teams
  • Self-directed learning—bootcamps, certifications, or hands-on practice with automation tools

You’re a Great Fit If You

  • Enjoy learning to build test suites that catch bugs early
  • Value thorough testing and like asking “What if?” questions
  • Want to grow technically and are excited to learn from senior QA engineers
  • Thrive in collaborative environments where QA is everyone’s responsibility
  • Care about shipping reliable software and want to build the skills to make that happen

This Role Is Not a Fit If You

  • Want to do only manual testing with no interest in learning automation
  • Prefer heavy, ongoing supervision on every task rather than gradually taking on more independence
  • Are passively focused solely on finding bugs rather than getting curious about preventing them

Compensation and Benefits

  • Monthly salary: 2400 - 3200 EUR gross, based on experience and skills
  • Remote-first setup with optional use of our Zagreb office
  • Stay active: Multisport card or wellness subsidy
  • Health & Wellbeing: 100% paid sick leave + annual health checkups
  • Extra perks: Christmas bonus and referral bonus
  • Grow with us: Education budget for learning and professional development
