Role summary
StellarTech, a fast-growing EdTech product company, seeks a Manual QA Engineer for its Platform team. This remote role involves end-to-end testing of web applications, APIs, and third-party integrations within a startup environment. The ideal candidate will have 4+ years of experience, strong skills in risk-based testing, API testing (Postman, Swagger), root cause analysis using logs and browser tools, and experience with the full release cycle. Proficiency with AI tools for QA is required. Preferred skills include payments/subscriptions testing, web funnels, A/B testing, and analytics validation. The role emphasizes ownership, clear communication, and improving QA processes.
StellarTech is an international, fast-growing product IT company that builds and publishes subscription-based mobile apps in EdTech. Our Platform team builds the company's own platform: web funnels, payments, subscriptions and integrations with third-party services. It's the core that all our products run on.
We're looking for a QA Engineer to join a team of manual QA engineers. You'll own the quality of Platform functionality in a startup rhythm with short iterations and frequent releases. QA is also where other teams (Monetization, Finance, Product Tech) come first when something looks wrong. So we need a mature specialist who finds the root cause, communicates clearly and helps improve how we work, not someone who only runs test cases.
What you'll do
- Test new features end to end during development: frontend, backend, APIs and third-party integrations
- Run regression testing before releases and smoke testing on production after each release
- Validate business and technical requirements with Product and Engineering before development starts
- Investigate defects with logs, API responses and network traffic, and write clear, reproducible bug reports
- Be the first line for requests from Monetization, Finance and Product Tech: reproduce the issue, assess severity and escalate with facts
- Maintain test documentation in TestRail, Jira and Confluence
- Work with the Automation QA team to decide which cases to automate
Must-have
- 4+ years of manual QA of web applications (frontend, backend, API)
- Risk-based test design: you can explain what you test, what you don't, and why
- API testing with Postman / Charles and Swagger / OpenAPI
- Root cause investigation with Chrome DevTools (HAR, network, storage) and logs
- Hands-on with the full release cycle: feature, regression and production smoke testing
- You use AI tools (Claude, Cursor or similar) in your daily QA work and critically check what they produce
- Experience in a product company or startup with frequent releases
- Written English good enough for documentation and bug reports
- Ownership and transparent communication: you flag risks and delays early
Nice to have
- Payments and subscriptions testing (Chargebee, Adapty, Payrails, trials, taxes, Apple Pay / Google Pay)
- Web funnels and A/B experiments
- Analytics event validation (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, GTM dataLayer)
- Datadog / Grafana
- Testing AI-powered features
- Basic Playwright / TypeScript
Why join us
- You'll work on a platform that decides how fast a subscription business can grow
- AI-first company: AI is being built into the company's work centrally, well beyond generating test cases
- No micromanagement, high engineering standards, fully remote
Hiring process:
