Umain AB is hiring a **QA Engineer** to work in multidisciplinary agile teams on end-to-end digital product development across web, mobile, and backend systems. The role focuses on identifying risks, defining test cases, and carrying out functional, regression, and exploratory testing. Key duties include building and extending automated tests for UI, API, or backend environments, integrating automation into **CI/CD pipelines**, and communicating clear quality insights to stakeholders to guide release decisions. Engineers also actively suggest process improvements, including experimenting with AI-assisted tooling to streamline delivery. Applicants should have **3 to 6 years of experience** in QA, test engineering, or a related quality-focused role within iterative environments such as Scrum or Kanban. Essential qualifications include a strong grasp of risk-based testing principles, hands-on experience with modern automation tools such as Cypress, Playwright, Appium, or Postman, and the ability to write basic scripts in JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python.
