Requirements

Strong manual testing experience

Web and mobile-first products (responsive behavior, device fragmentation, OS/browser differences)
Ability to run manual and automation work in parallel — this is not an either/or role



Test case design & maintenance experience

Practical experience with test management tools (Testiny / TestRail / Zephyr or equivalent)
Knows how to keep test cases lean, reusable and up-to-date



Solid understanding of QA fundamentals

Test levels, test types, regression vs smoke, exploratory testing
Bug lifecycle, severity vs priority



Defect reporting & communication
Writing clear, reproducible bug reports with proper steps, evidence, and expected results


Playwright automation — hands-on, active experience

TypeScript as the working language
Not just theoretical exposure — must be able to write, maintain, and extend test suites independently
Understanding of selector strategies, test isolation, parallelism, and reporting hooks



General technical understanding

Solid grasp of system architectures (server-gateway-client separation, services, environments)
Comfortable reading and interpreting API responses, logs, and network traffic without being a dedicated API tester
API testing is not a core part of this role but general technical literacy is required



Dev–QA coordination experience

Actively participated in or led alignment between development and QA workstreams
Comfortable discussing scope, acceptance criteria, and readiness with developers directly



Experience working in an Agile environment
Sprint planning, refinement, daily syncs, acceptance criteria validation

Fluent (B2+) in Hungarian and English (oral and written)
Aspiration to advance into a Team Lead or Technical/Project SME role
Nice to have skills

Mobile testing familiarity
Device emulators, debugging on real devices, mobile-specific edge cases

CI/CD awareness and integration

Understanding of how Playwright tests fit into pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or equivalent)
Exposure to scheduled or triggered test runs, artifact handling, and failure triage


Broader automation tooling exposure

Prior experience with Testim or similar codeless/hybrid tools is a plus
Ability to bridge different automation approaches across a mixed-tool environment



API tooling familiarity
Postman or Insomnia for ad-hoc verification — not a requirement, but valued


TypeScript/JavaScript depth beyond test automation
General scripting comfort, understanding of async patterns, types, modules

Soft skills
Clear and structured communication
Ownership mentality
Dev–QA bridge mindset
Mentoring mindset
Diplomatic assertiveness
Adaptability
