We cultivate a culture of inclusion for all employees that respects their individual strengths, views, and experiences. We believe that our differences enable us to be a better team - one that makes better decisions, drives innovation, and delivers better business results., As a QA Engineer at Kolsquare, you will join our growing Quality team to act as a champion of excellence and a trusted partner across the organization. Working alongside our existing QA Engineer, you will help scale our testing infrastructure and transition toward an automation-first environment, ensuring our SaaS platform delivers a flawless experience as we scale., * Scale the Automation Pipeline: Collaborate with the QA team to design, implement, and expand our automated test suites (Frontend and API). You will play a key role in integrating these tests into our CI/CD pipelines to ensure rapid, high-quality deployments.
- Collaborative Quality Strategy: Partner with your QA peer and the Tech team to refine "Definition of Done" criteria and optimize our bug-fixing processes, ensuring clear prioritization and efficient resolution.
- Functional & Exploratory Testing: Work closely with Product and Tech during development to perform meticulous manual and exploratory testing. You'll identify edge cases and usability gaps that automated scripts might miss.
- Cross-Functional Triage: Serve as a technical bridge between Support, Product, and Engineering. You will help triage customer-reported issues, translating them into actionable technical tickets and providing visibility to all stakeholders.
- Design & Usability Validation: Collaborate with Product Designers to validate that every new development respects our quality standards for visual consistency, responsiveness, and seamless user flows.
- Defect Lifecycle Management: Manage the end-to-end bug reporting process, ensuring all issues are accurately documented with clear reproduction steps and tracked through to resolution.
Requirements
- Experience: 4+ years in a QA Engineering role within a SaaS environment, with a track record of working effectively in a team setting.
- Automation Expertise: Hands-on experience with modern testing frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium).
- Programming Skills: Strong proficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript to contribute to a shared, scalable automation codebase.
- The Toolkit:
- Proficiency with issue tracking and project management tools.
- Comfort with Git and CI/CD workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions or GitLab CI).
- Experience with API testing (e.g., Postman or automated scripts).
Agile Mindset: Experience in Scrum or Kanban, with the ability to provide early quality feedback during sprint planning and grooming.
Soft Skills:
- Team Player: You thrive in a collaborative environment and enjoy brainstorming testing strategies with your peers.
- Solution-Oriented: You don't just find bugs; you help find solutions and identify process bottlenecks before they impact the team.
- Detail-Driven: You have a "sharp eye" for the details that others might overlook, from CSS alignment to complex data edge cases.
- Communication: Fluent in English, with the ability to convey technical concepts clearly to both developers and non-technical colleagues.
Benefits & conditions
- Full flexibility: full remote work with European hubs and 400+ coworking spaces worldwide.
- Monthly and quarterly highlights in person to get together with other Kolsquarians for great team building events.
- A package linked to the market that will not be based on your location.
- The stability and resources of a profitable group, with the agility of a scale-up.
- Continuous training opportunities and career development support.
