QA Engineer (Manual-Automation) | Mid - Senior | NordVPN UCP

The QA department ensures our software products are of the highest quality and efficiency. We are a dedicated team of inspectors who carry out audits to validate quality criteria for customers, management, certifiers, and other stakeholders. We are a medium-sized team of 30+ people where everyone is working on different but connected projects. Yet we strive to maintain our Core QA guild, where we build camaraderie and share ideas and experiences. Good product quality, a positive atmosphere, and strong teamwork are some of our main values.

• Proven experience in quality assurance (frontend, backend, web applications testing)
• Experience with Postman and Playwright
• Experience in test case design & management
• Familiarity with management tools (like Jira, Confluence, etc.)
• Quick understanding of complex technical systems/structures
• A desire for quality in each and all aspects of the shippable product
• Experience with Agile/Kanban (or similar) methodologies and understanding how to work in dev teams
• Good verbal and written communication skills, written and spoken English

Nice to have:

• API testing experience

• Experience with Jest, Axios
• Experience using NodeJS
• Experience with Docker, Postman, BrowserStack/BrowserStack connect, Figma, and Selenium would be a big plus.

• Write manual and later automated tests to conduct complex functional - integration tests to confirm that the acceptance criteria have been met
• Perform functional testing in web/desktop applications and/or back-end systems (depending on the project)
• Support, maintain, and improve all related test cases
• Report software defects and collaborate across multiple development teams to resolve them
• Work closely with product managers, developers, and other QA team members to ensure high-quality products
• Apply Agile principles effectively in day-to-day activities
• Advocate for product quality within a cross-functional development team
• Contribute to identifying testing strategies and driving their implementation together with the QA Guild
• Help make the release process as smooth as possible while maintaining the highest quality
• Train and mentor less senior team members
• Bring your own ideas and initiatives – there is lots of space for creativity and innovation
• Ensure that the product meets high-quality standards for deployment

We expect all candidates to provide accurate and complete information during the recruitment process. While limited use of AI tools to refine application materials is acceptable, candidates remain fully responsible for ensuring that their submissions reflect their own qualifications, skills, and experience. Any failure to do so may negatively affect participation in the recruitment process. If broader AI assistance is allowed for a particular role or stage, we’ll let you know in advance.

By submitting your application, you acknowledge that it may be processed using automated tools for evaluation purposes. As part of our recruitment process, we may use an AI-based application review tool to help assess applications based on skills and experience relevant to the role. This technology is used to support - not replace - human decision-making, and every application is ultimately reviewed by a recruiter.
