We're growing an engineering team that operates both internally and as a forward-deployed team across our portfolio — tackling high-impact projects wherever we identify opportunities to deliver value.\n\nRole OverviewWe're looking for a QA Engineer whose job is to make sure our software actually does what it's supposed to do. That's the point of the role — not hitting a coverage number, not maintaining a large test-code codebase, but verifying that features behave correctly for real users, across a range of products and stacks.\n\nThe way you'll do that is increasingly AI-assisted. We want someone genuinely good at pointing tools like Claude at browser automation (Playwright and similar) to automate the repetitive verification that used to eat a tester's day — and who also knows when a human still needs to click through it themselves. When manual or exploratory testing is the right call, you'll do it, and you won't treat it as beneath you.\n\nThis is a pragmatic, hands-on role for someone who is product-minded, tool-agnostic, and comfortable moving between manual work and AI-driven automation depending on what actually gets a release out the door with confidence.\n\nWe're tech-agnostic — we choose tools based on business value, not ideology.\n\nWhy Join Us\nWork directly with a technical founder who's still hands-on.\n\nOwn whether real products across multiple software companies actually work.\n\nHelp define what AI-first QA looks like from the ground up.\n\nHigh autonomy, clear priorities, and technical mentorship.\n\nCompetitive compensation for Poland-based talent.\n\nJob details\nStart ASAP\n\nPaid holiday for: B2B\n\nFully remote\n\nFlexible hours\n\nFreedom to choose tools\n\nBenefits\nCompetitive compensation\n\nSmall teams\n\nInternational projects\n\nFlat structure\nZakres obowiązków\nVerifying that features and fixes actually work as intended, across multiple products and stacks — this is the heart of the job.\nHands-on manual and exploratory testing wherever human judgment catches what automation won't.\nUsing AI tools (Claude and similar) to drive Playwright / browser automation, turning repetitive checks into automated ones.\nConverting manual test flows into AI-assisted automated verification where it saves real time.\nDeciding what's worth automating and what isn't — optimizing for confidence that the product works, not for test count.\nReporting clearly on whether a release is behaving correctly and where the risk is.\nWorking across varied stacks (Python, .NET, TypeScript) and browser-based products.\nWymagania\nMust have\nBrowser automation (Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium)\n\nAI-assisted testing tools (Claude, Copilot, or LLM-driven tooling)\n\nFunctional & exploratory testing\n\nManual testing\n\nPython\n\nTypeScript / JavaScript\n\nAPI / integration testing\n\nPolish\n\nEnglish (B1)\n\nNice to have\nCI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar)\n\n.NET\n\nPerformance & load testing (k6, Locust, JMeter)\n\nCloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure)\n\nTest strategy & QA process design\n\nExperience across modern and legacy stacks\n\nYour Profile\nYou care whether the satisfies users needs, not just whether the tests are green.\n\nComfortable across both manual/exploratory testing and AI-driven automation — and clear-eyed about when to use which.\n\nTechnical enough to script and direct browser automation and get real leverage out of AI tools. You don't need to be a software engineer who lives in a test-code repo.\n\nCurious and hands-on with AI-assisted workflows (Claude, Copilot, Cursor, LLM tooling).\n\nPragmatic and tool-agnostic — no task too small when a release is on the line.\n\nExperience across varied environments (consulting, freelance, agency, product, or startup).\n\nComfortable in a small, distributed, high-autonomy environment.\n\nClear communicator in a distributed, English-speaking team.\n\nTech stack\nQA\nAI\nTesting\nTest automation\nCypress\nSelenium\nPython\nTypeScript\nJavaScript\nCI/CD Pipelines\nGitHub Actions\nAPI\nTest case\nCD\nCloud platform\nAWS\nAzure\n.NET\nJMeter\nTest strategy\nSecurity\nAutomated testing","description_format":"text","description_chars":4639,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-08T22:25:03Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":67,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.75,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":10,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["seen:10","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":73680,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/merit-holdings-qa-test-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/merit-holdings-qa-test-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T20:15:14Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":7929,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3868473},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3868473"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmerit-holdings-qa-test-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmerit-holdings-qa-test-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmerit-holdings-qa-test-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/merit-holdings-qa-test-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmerit-holdings-qa-test-engineer"}]}
