Your New Role:

As part of a portfolio of best-in-class developer tools, we are looking for a Junior QA Engineer who will join our QA team to help us keep the quality of our products at the highest level and work on automation supporting our day-to-day processes. We are looking for highly motivated individuals who are passionate about web technologies and have hands-on experience with creating web applications, both front-end and back-end. We don’t expect you to have commercial experience, but you should have been working on hobby projects; having projects to show off will be enough. If you’re a self-learner who isn't afraid to dive into technical challenges and learn by doing, this is the perfect place for you.

As a QA team member, you will be responsible for the quality of products within the Cloud Services project and our crucial customer-facing platform - Customer Portal. We guarantee support from our QA Engineers who will introduce you to projects and help you during your onboarding. We know how important the first days in a new job are, so we will make sure that you will have time to learn about our products and how we work 🙂

Key Responsibilities:

• manual testing of our products;

• API testing;

• stress testing and regression testing;

• creating test automation and automation scripts;

• reporting and verifying issues in our issue trackers;

• supporting developers in customers’ technical support;

• communicating with the development team;

• improving your technical and soft skills.

To be successful in this role you need the following:

• hobby-projects portfolio on GitHub in HTML / CSS / JS stack; we are looking for people who have practical experience with the code and understand how application work;

• practical JavaScript skills - comfortable with async code, working with HTTP clients, and reading & adapting existing code;

• solid understanding of how modern web apps work - SPA, REST APIs, HTTP, JWT, WebSockets;

• educational background in Computer Science or another technical field will be considered a strong advantage;

• experience in leveraging AI-powered tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude Code, Gemini);

• love testing and breaking stuff :)

• curiosity and critical thinking - you ask questions, dig into problems, and don't stop at "it works on my machine";

• fluent command of Polish and a good working proficiency in English (at least B2+ level);

Nice to have:

• experience with AWS or other cloud platforms;

• basic knowledge of Docker and Node.js - you can run a service locally and debug a containerized environment;

• familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, etc.);

JavaScript knowledge?

Yes, it is not a mistake :)

Because we create web components, our clients are not only end-users but also developers who integrate those with their websites. This is why we care that you are able to check the proper software operation from the point of view of both these groups.
