About this role
Role overview A hybrid technology company operating a high-load telecom platform is hiring a General QA Engineer to safeguard backend quality across a microservices-based product.

Requirements - 4+ years as a QA Engineer with a strong backend focus - Solid SQL skills including complex joins, aggregations, and data integrity checks - Practical Linux/UNIX command line experience for log analysis and basic bash scripting - Working knowledge of Git branching, merging, and code review - Familiarity with Postman, IntelliJ IDEA, the Atlassian stack (Jira, Confluence, Zephyr), GitLab, Jenkins, Kibana, and Grafana - Understanding of TCP, HTTP, client-server and microservices architectures, including idempotency - Intermediate or higher spoken and written English, with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced Agile environment
Nice to have - Telecom domain background in billing, charging, or provisioning - Hands-on experience with Kafka or RabbitMQ, Docker, and Kubernetes - Previous work on high-load systems
Benefits and work setup - Office-based or fully remote; the employer will arrange the chosen workplace - Remote onboarding supported - Performance bonuses for everyone, paid annually or quarterly depending on the role - Internal learning library plus training programs through partners - Health and life insurance, plus a wellbeing program and access to a corporate psychologist
