Typical Project Details:
• Project Focus: Most QA Tester roles involve manual testing of mobile apps and APIs, typically within Agile development teams.
• Project Duration: Contracts can be temporary, ranging from 6 months to 1 year, or ongoing. Many temporary projects extend beyond their initial term, and some evolve into ongoing contractor opportunities.

Countries we are considering consist of Argentina, Brazil, Canada, the Czech Republic, Estonia, India, Ireland, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, or the United States.

• Required Devices: You must have access to an Android or iOS mobile device for testing.

Technical Skills:

• Experience with mobile and web applications frontend testing; backend testing is a bonus.
• Proficiency in identifying and documenting software bugs and issues.
• Ability to solve basic technical tasks required during testing, such as test data generation, log capturing, and basic analysis, working with browser developer tools, network logs analyzers, etc.
• Experience working in agile teams in a remote environment - proven track record of communication and collaboration with stakeholders such as Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and others.
• Good understanding of SDLC.
• Experience with these primary testing categories: functional and regression testing.
• Familiarity with API testing tools like Charles, Insomnia, and Postman is a strong plus.
• A certificate of completion of BBST Foundations, Bug Advocacy, Test Design, and Domain testing courses or similar is not required, but it is nice to have.
• Minor scripting or programming experience is not required, but it is nice to have.
Human Skills:
• Effective English communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate and work effectively in a team environment.
