Senior QA Engineer

Svitla Systems Inc. is looking for a Senior QA Engineer for a full-time position (40 hours per week) in Europe. Our client is a company that creates interactive games, quizzes, and adventures specifically designed for children. 

We're looking for a tester who's comfortable focusing on mostly manual testing for now, with limited automated testing possible (there is no environment to support it yet).

Requirements:

• 4+ years of experience in manual testing (AQA experience is a plus).

• Experience in small to medium companies preferred, not in startups.

• Strong understanding of manual mobile application testing.

• Understanding of API-based systems and data flows (polling, backend interactions).

• Basic understanding of Bluetooth and MQTT from a testing perspective.

• Experience working with real devices.

• Expertise in reading and understanding CI/CD build logs.

• Excellent written and spoken English.

• Excellent communication skills and initiative to report product/feature/software issues immediately.

• Ability to self-structure your work in an ambiguous environment.

• Sharp attention to detail and solid communication skills.

• Curiosity and comfort digging into unfamiliar parts of the product.

Nice to have:

• Basic knowledge of TypeScript/JavaScript.

• Basic understanding of APIs or testing automation concepts.

• Experience triggering builds and running tests locally on macOS.

• Previous experience testing products with hardware integration.

Responsibilities:

• Perform manual testing of a React Native mobile application (iOS / Android).

• Validate user-facing insights generated from hardware data and displayed in the app after processing.

• Use a real hardware device (Bluetooth box) to generate test data for QA purposes.

• Execute regression testing and verify new features before release.

• Analyze CI/CD pipeline failures in Bitrise and review build/test logs.

• Collaborate closely with developers and a separate hardware-focused team.

• Maintain and adjust existing E2E tests (Detox) when minor issues are identified.

• Work independently, organize your own testing focus, and adapt as requirements evolve.

• Verify fixes and keep track of riskier areas.

• Mostly manually test the company’s music box features and functions.

• Spot, reproduce, and clearly describe bugs.

• Occasionally prepare automated testing scenarios (rarely).

We offer

• US and EU projects based on advanced technologies.

• Competitive compensation based on skills and experience.

• Regular performance appraisals to support your growth.

• Flexibility in workspace, either remote or our welcoming office.

• Bonuses for article writing, public talks, other activities

• Generous time off, including vacation, national holidays, sick leaves, and family days.
