QA Engineer (Manual & Automation)

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.
