Middle QA General

appflame — a Ukrainian IT company building world-class products: Hily, Taimi, AdConnect, Mailkeeper, and more.

Who we are today:

• 7 years on the market, 500+ employees, offices in Kyiv, London, and Limassol, plus a coworking space in Warsaw.

• In 2025, appflame ranked 5th among Ukraine's 50 best employers according to Forbes and won in the "Place for Growth" category.

• Our apps Hily and Taimi are among the Top 5 dating apps in the U.S., with over 70 million users. AdConnect and Mailkeeper build and scale our own B2B and B2C solutions.

Our mission: Flame up the world with Ukrainian products.

Our goals:

• Reach the top 5 product companies in the world.

• Become a unicorn — and turn Ukraine into a country where unicorns are born and thrive.

We're looking for daring, ambitious, and "a little crazy" people — those who love building real products and dream of launching cool startups. You have the ambition; we have the conditions to make it happen.

You will:

• Take end-to-end ownership of feature quality, from requirements analysis to sign-off across front-end, back-end, and adjacent product components.

• Test core and complex product mechanics - user flows, UI/UX, API, business logic, integrations, data, and error/loading states.

• Independently define test strategy and regression scope: what's critical to verify, where the risks lie, edge cases, and impact on adjacent scenarios.

• Analyze requirements early (during grooming), identify gaps and contradictions, raise questions to the PM/analysts/developers, and block untestable or risky decisions before development starts.

• Write and maintain test documentation: checklists, test cases, bug reports, test reports/run results, and keep coverage up to date.

• Collaborate closely with developers, analysts, and PMs - priorities, scope trade-offs, bug reproduction, fix verification, and blocker escalation.

• Participate in sprint planning and estimate tasks in terms of testing, risk, and the cost of quality.

• Propose and implement process improvements: reducing routine work, better templates/approaches to coverage, and lessons learned after incidents.

• Use and develop AI and internal QA tools in day-to-day work, and help the team use them more effectively.

• Maintain and grow automation: decide what to automate versus keep manual, update tests for new features, and keep runs stable.

• Serve as a source of expertise for the team - knowing the flows and common risks, and helping others get up to speed on complex scenarios and questions faster.

We'll have a match if you:

• 2+ years of experience testing large, complex web applications.

• A deep understanding of testing and development processes (goals and objectives, roles, testing types, test design, etc.).

• Solid knowledge of client-server architecture, application-layer protocols, and REST APIs.

• Confident experience with logging and debugging tools, as well as DevTools and Postman.

• Hands-on experience applying AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) to build test scenarios, maintain test documentation, analyze business requirements, and identify and investigate defects.

• Experience with e2e frameworks for writing UI/API tests using Playwright in JS/TS (or other test automation experience).

• Proactivity, strong communication skills, the ability to work effectively with QA, Dev, and PM, and solid problem-solving skills.

• A drive to broaden your responsibilities, grow, and develop.

Will be an advantage:

• Practical experience with Git and a grasp of CI/CD fundamentals.

What we offer:

• Work: Remote-first setup, modern offices with activities, and all the equipment you need, plus compensation to set up your remote workplace.

• Growth: Fair pay with regular reviews; after probation, compensation for education and English courses, Online Speaking Club, online library, and course access.

• Health & time off: Medical insurance coverage, psychologist consultations, unlimited paid sick days, and 31 paid vacation days/year (incl. public holidays).

• Team: Corporate events, team-building activities, and paid participation in sports competitions.
