Full Description

About the Role

Squaretalk is looking for a QA Engineer with a balanced focus on manual and automation testing to join our Sofia-based team. In this role, you will validate new features through hands-on exploration, and translate regression and repetitive testing work into reliable, maintainable automated test suites — all within a fast-paced Scrum environment. You will work closely with developers, product managers, and DevOps engineers to ensure our platform remains robust, intuitive, and reliable for our customers.

What You'll Do

Analyze functional and technical requirements to develop detailed test plans and test cases. Conduct manual exploratory, functional, and regression testing of web applications and APIs. Design and write automated test scripts using WebdriverIO (WDIO) for UI regression and smoke testing. Review feature specifications and contribute to defining clear, testable acceptance criteria. Maintain and evolve the test automation suite, and help integrate it with Jenkins CI/CD pipelines. Execute and monitor automated test runs, analyze failures, and escalate issues as needed. Collaborate with developers to identify bugs early and troubleshoot issues in staging or production environments. Document test plans, test cases, and testing results clearly and systematically.

Actively participate in Scrum ceremonies: sprint planning, backlog grooming, daily standups, and retrospectives.

What We're Looking For

3+ years of experience in QA testing, including both manual and automation testing. Proficiency in manual test case design, execution, and defect tracking. Hands-on experience with WebdriverIO (WDIO) for test automation. Hands-on experience with performance testing tools such as JMeter, Artillery, or similar. Solid understanding of testing web front-ends (UI) and RESTful APIs. Experience with Jenkins CI/CD or similar tools for automating test execution and reporting. Familiarity with Git, bug-tracking tools (e.g., JIRA), and test documentation practices. Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work closely with cross-functional teams.

Nice to Have

Programming skills in JavaScript (used for test automation). Experience with the Playwright automation framework. Experience with mobile testing tools such as Appium or Espresso. Familiarity with React-based applications. Basic DevOps or server-side knowledge (Docker, Linux CLI, HTTP fundamentals). Experience with VoIP, Asterisk, or SIP/WebRTC platforms. ISTQB certification (Foundation Level or higher). Experience with test reporting/observability tools (e.g., Allure, ReportPortal) or API testing tools (e.g., Postman/Newman).

What we offer

Hybrid working model (4 days from the office, 1 day working from home) Competitive salary Cibus card Exciting opportunity to join a successful company, with big ambitions for the future.
