Key responsibilities

• Work with business analysts, product owners and stakeholders early to challenge ambiguities, identify gaps and edge cases, and define clear acceptance criteria.
• Build deep knowledge of business processes, data flows and system dependencies so tests validate business outcomes.
• Design and run functional, integration and end-to-end tests across services, enterprise applications, REST APIs and connected systems.
• Help create and maintain automated tests with the automation QA specialist, and investigate defects by tracing behaviour across logic, interfaces and data.
• Use SQL and data investigation to validate database changes, data consistency, transformations and business rules.
• Work in an agile team using Azure DevOps and CI/CD to communicate test results, manage defects and support release decisions.

Required profile

• 5+ years of professional QA experience testing complex, business-critical enterprise applications.
• Ability to read, write and review automated tests in Java or a similar language, including with AI-assisted tools such as GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT.
• Experience collaborating with analysts and stakeholders on requirements and acceptance criteria.
• Comfortable exploring unfamiliar data and technical logic and taking ownership of quality across teams.

Required skills

• Test automation tools and frameworks, including UI automation (e.g. Playwright), REST API testing (e.g. REST Assured or Postman) and CI/CD integrations.
• Practical SQL for querying, comparing, validating and reconciling data across systems.
• Nice to have: Oracle, advanced SQL, Azure DevOps, and knowledge of insurance or reinsurance pricing and reporting.

• Base salary in Slovakia of EUR 3,800 to EUR 6,300 per month for a full-time role, adjusted to the candidate's profile.
