• Perform manual and automated testing on web and mobile products

• Design, execute, and maintain clear, lean, and reusable test cases

• Work with Testiny test management tool

• Use AI tools for requirements analysis, test case generation, coverage estimation, and Claude Code for test automation support

• Ensure test cases remain up‑to‑date and aligned with product changes

• Apply solid QA fundamentals such as regression vs. smoke testing, and exploratory techniques

• Follow the full defect lifecycle and correctly assess severity and priority

• Write precise, reproducible defect reports

• Develop, maintain, and extend automated test suites using Playwright and TypeScript

• Apply automation best practices, including selector strategies, test isolation, parallel execution, and reporting

• Review and interpret API responses, logs, and network traffic to support defect investigation

• Support alignment between development and QA workstreams

• Collaborate closely with automation engineers and tools and with developers on scope, acceptance criteria, and release readiness

• Identify what should be automated versus what should remain manual

• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies: sprint planning, refinement, daily stand‑ups, and acceptance criteria validation

• Conduct mobile testing on real devices and emulators as needed

• Support API testing using Postman, with opportunities to grow into automated API testing

• Review automated test results and provide actionable feedback

Requirements

• Strong manual testing experience

  • Web and mobile-first products (responsive behavior, device fragmentation, OS/browser differences)

  • Ability to run manual and automation work in parallel — this is not an either/or role

• Test case design & maintenance experience

  • Practical experience with test management tools (Testiny / TestRail / Zephyr or equivalent)

  • Knows how to keep test cases lean, reusable and up-to-date

• Solid understanding of QA fundamentals

  • Test levels, test types, regression vs smoke, exploratory testing

  • Bug lifecycle, severity vs priority

• Defect reporting & communication

  • Writing clear, reproducible bug reports with proper steps, evidence, and expected results

• Playwright automation — hands-on, active experience

  • TypeScript as the working language

  • Not just theoretical exposure — must be able to write, maintain, and extend test suites independently

  • Understanding of selector strategies, test isolation, parallelism, and reporting hooks

• General technical understanding

  • Solid grasp of system architectures (server-gateway-client separation, services, environments)

  • Comfortable reading and interpreting API responses, logs, and network traffic without being a dedicated API tester

  • API testing is not a core part of this role but general technical literacy is required

• Dev–QA coordination experience

  • Actively participated in or led alignment between development and QA workstreams

  • Comfortable discussing scope, acceptance criteria, and readiness with developers directly

• Experience working in an Agile environment

  • Sprint planning, refinement, daily syncs, acceptance criteria validation

• Fluent (B2+) in Hungarian and English (oral and written)

• Aspiration to advance into a Team Lead or Technical/Project SME role

Nice to have skills

• Mobile testing familiarity

  • Device emulators, debugging on real devices, mobile-specific edge cases

• CI/CD awareness and integration

• Understanding of how Playwright tests fit into pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or equivalent)

  • Exposure to scheduled or triggered test runs, artifact handling, and failure triage

• Broader automation tooling exposure

  • Prior experience with Testim or similar codeless/hybrid tools is a plus

  • Ability to bridge different automation approaches across a mixed-tool environment

• API tooling familiarity

  • Postman or Insomnia for ad-hoc verification — not a requirement, but valued

• TypeScript/JavaScript depth beyond test automation

  • General scripting comfort, understanding of async patterns, types, modules

Soft skills

• Clear and structured communication

• Ownership mentality

• Dev–QA bridge mindset

• Mentoring mindset

• Diplomatic assertiveness
