We're looking for a talented QA Automation Engineer to help us deliver reliable, high-quality products in the cybersecurity field. You'll own the automation layer for our cybersecurity platform: designing test frameworks from scratch, running performance and load tests, and building realistic environments that mirror production.

Automate testing for detection, protection, and response workflows
Design end-to-end test environments using Kubernetes (K8s)
Own performance, load, and stress testing
Embed automation into CI/CD pipelines alongside dev and DevOps teams
Help define QA best practices and mentor engineers as we grow
What you bring:
5+ years in API/backend automation testing
Strong hands-on with Postman/Newman, REST Assured, Playwright, or similar
Performance testing chops (JMeter, Locust, k6)
Experience with Kubernetes for test environment orchestration
Cybersecurity product testing experience is required
Go programming experience - big plus
Cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure) and GitOps familiarity is a bonus
What we offer:
Competitive compensation based on your skills and experience
Paid vacation and additional holidays
Exciting projects with the newest technologies
Accounting as a service
Long-term employment
Our recruitment process:
Screening call (30 min)
