About

Headquarters: Cologne, Germany

To achieve our mission, and serve our users, we need a QA engineer who can support our software testing efforts and help our users navigate the web safely. You'll be joining a small, collaborative team and you'll have the opportunity to impact the strategic direction of our products, which include our ad blockers, VPN, and future products.

You’ll be working primarily on our AdBlock and Adblock Plus browser extensions, collaborating closely with other cross-functional teams that include engineers, product designers, product managers, and other QA engineers. When not busy testing new features and releases, writing automated tests or creating and managing test cases, you will use your previous experience to propose suggestions for improving your team’s processes. You’re an excellent communicator and, just like your future colleagues, you value collaboration, embrace new challenges and care deeply about the team’s needs.

While you will be joining a team with an already established QA process, the idea is for you to eventually take over leading and owning all-things-QA in the team, while continuing to make the process even better.

We are a globally distributed team that spans many time zones. In this role you’ll be supporting a team based primarily in Europe; however, you’ll be expected to collaborate with colleagues in North America. This means some late-evening (7 pm CET) or early-morning (7AM PST) meetings a few times per week.

What You'll Do:

Review functional and design specifications before they go into implementation to point out possible problems
Write and maintain test cases
Test new features and releases- doing both exploratory and scripted testing
Contribute to our automation and CI pipeline
Maintain and contribute to our documentation
Figure out ways how to improve our test strategy
Own and lead all QA processes in the team
Advocate for quality in all steps of the product development cycle.

You Have:

At least 3 years of experience working as a QA engineer in software development
Experience owning QA processes in a team
Solid understanding of QA processes, approaches, methodologies and software development lifecycle
Basic knowledge of Selenium or other automation frameworks
Basic knowledge of CI/CD pipelines
Basic knowledge of JavaScript
Knowledge of source code management tools like Git
Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills; you enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams
Experience working remotely

Bonus Points For:

Knowledge of scripting languages
Experience testing browser extensions
Experience collaborating remotely using asynchronous communication methods in a distributed team
Experience testing mobile apps and/or native Windows and macOS apps
Experience with automated testing for mobile apps, in-app payments, account management systems
Familiarity with Selenium Webdriver or webdriverIO
Experience working in a start-up and/or in a cross-functional team

Why You'll Love Our Team:

Competitive Salary: Our salaries are based on Radford data, a widely-used global compensation benchmark, to ensure we provide competitive pay. We don’t adjust your salary based on where you live, so you can live wherever you like.
Comprehensive Benefits: We offer a benefits package that includes medical and dental insurance coverage*, 401K matching*, 14 weeks of paid parental leave, and more.
Professional Growth: We give team members the autonomy to do their best work. Because we’re a small team, you’ll be able to immediately see the impact of your work and grow with the team. We also support professional development with training, coaching, and regular feedback.
Fully Distributed Community: You’ll be able to work 100% remotely, yet remain well-connected to your colleagues. We meet at least once a year for a week-long offsite.
Generous Vacation Policy: We encourage our employees to take the time they need for a vacation, to spend time with their families, and to stay healthy by offering at least 28 days of paid leave.
Office Equipment: We’ll provide you with a setup of your choice, based on what you need to work effectively

*Currently, healthcare and retirement plans are only available in the U.S.
