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. 🎁 Benefits Flexible work location.
