We are looking for a Manual QA Engineer to own quality on our international web social networking platform, working across both the user-facing product and its B2B side. You will not spend your days on endless regression runs: core functionality is already covered by automation, so your focus is on new features, backend testing through APIs and databases, and analysing automation results together with AQA engineers. There is a steady flow of new and non-trivial tasks, and your work directly shortens the path from idea to production for a product used by around a million people in Tier-1 markets.
About our product: We have created an international web platform that’s genuinely changing how people connect in Tier-1 markets: 1 million users across the USA, Canada, and UK trust us for meaningful relationships that go beyond surface-level matching! Since 2020, we have been the platform for people seeking real connections. Our users enjoy 24/7 communication, seamless content sharing, and a completely ad-free experience. We have found our sweet spot in performance and intuitive design that keeps people engaged and actually connecting with each other. So, you will be part of an ambitious journey toward our clear goal: becoming one of the Top-5 international social networking platforms globally.
