Role Description

AdConnect is a business within appflame that specializes in building innovative solutions in performance marketing and digital products development. Our performance marketing includes Social, PPC, Native, and Display advertising.

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;
• Own the full QA cycle of a task: groom → test design → execution → bugs → retest → report, driving tasks to a clear quality status;
• Cover mobile/adaptive and cross-browser scenarios wherever it's critical to the feature;
• 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.

Qualifications

• 3+ 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;
• SQL skills - the ability to write complex queries to test tracking and validate data;
• 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.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience with or an understanding of A/B testing processes;
• Practical experience with Git and a grasp of CI/CD fundamentals;
• Experience with mentoring, onboarding, and planning and distributing workload within a QA team.

Benefits

• Fair pay with regular reviews; after probation, compensation for education and English courses, Online Speaking Club, online library, and course access;
• Medical insurance coverage, psychologist consultations, unlimited paid sick days, and 31 paid vacation days/year (incl. public holidays);
• Corporate events, team-building activities, and paid participation in sports competitions.
