QA Engineer (m/f/d)

Your mission

Your mission is to safeguard the quality and reliability of our web applications, ensuring that every release delivers a smooth, secure, and trustworthy experience for both patients and healthcare professionals. You will combine hands-on manual testing with pragmatic, lightweight automation support to help our engineering team ship with confidence.

This role is primarily focused on hands-on manual testing and practical quality assurance, with lightweight automation work where helpful, not on building large-scale automation frameworks from scratch.

Key responsibilities:

• Plan, design, and execute manual test cases across our mobile applications, with a focus on user-facing flows, edge cases, and healthcare-related user journeys
• Perform exploratory, regression, smoke, and acceptance testing on new features and bug fixes
• Contribute to lightweight test automation efforts by maintaining structured test scenarios, CI test definitions, and API testing workflows (e.g. YAML configs, Playwright/Cypress, BDD-style scenarios)
• Collaborate closely with product managers and developers to understand requirements, clarify acceptance criteria, and catch issues early
• Write clear, reproducible bug reports and work with the team to track issues through resolution
• Validate data flows and API behavior against expected results, including checks against REST APIs and databases
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries to validate application data
• Help improve QA processes, test documentation, and overall release confidence over time

Your profile

Requirements:

• Full fluency in English (written and spoken)
• Based in Berlin
• 3+ years of experience in a QA / software testing role, ideally in web applications
• Strong manual testing skills: test case design, exploratory testing, regression testing, and structured bug reporting
• Comfortable working with structured configuration files and test definitions (e.g. YAML)
• Solid understanding of how modern web applications work end-to-end (frontend, backend, APIs, databases)
• Hands-on experience testing REST APIs using tools like Postman, Insomnia, or similar
• Familiarity with bug tracking and test management tools (e.g. Jira, Linear, TestRail, Xray)
• Tech-savvy mindset: you don’t need to be a full-time programmer, but you are comfortable in a developer environment (Git, terminal, reading logs/code, debugging)

• Experience with test automation frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium
• Exposure to BDD tools like Cucumber/Gherkin
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.)
• Background in healthcare, medtech, or other regulated domains
• Awareness of security and data privacy considerations (GDPR, HIPAA, or similar)
• Basic understanding of cloud infrastructure and containerized environments (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes)
