Team size and structure?

40 For which tasks (responsibilities)?

Testing at Kleos is real but has room to grow. You'll own QA automation end-to-end - designing the strategy, building coverage where it matters most, and keeping it working as we ship fast.

What you'll do

• Design and build automated test suites across the stack: API, E2E, integration
• Expand Playwright coverage for the Vue 3 frontend - auth flows, payout cycles, contractor onboarding, withdraw requests, document generation
• Write API tests covering JWT auth, multi-currency transactions, and financial state flows
• Work with Vitest + Vue Test Utils for component-level tests
• Do manual testing when it matters - exploratory testing on complex financial flows, edge cases, regression before major releases
• Own CI/CD test integration and keep pipelines green and fast
• Work directly with engineers to define testable requirements before code is written
• Catch quality risks before they reach 600+ paying teams

• 4+ years in QA, 2+ years focused on automation
• Strong Playwright experience (JS/TS)
• Solid API testing skills: REST, JWT flows, stateful financial scenarios
• Experience on financial, transactional, or compliance-heavy products
• Comfortable with Docker and CI/CD pipelines
• You treat flaky tests as a real problem, not background noise

Nice to have

• PHP or Go service testing experience
• Vue component testing (Vitest, Vue Test Utils)
• Experience with Kubernetes environments
• KYC/KYB flows or payments platforms

• You can spot an untestable architecture and say so - with a fix
• You do exploratory testing on your own without being asked
• You care about the product, not just the test count
• You communicate blockers early, not after the fact
