The Role

We are looking for a QA Engineer to join our R&D Squad (Platform & Mini Program) in Tbilisi, Georgia, to ensure the stability and quality of a large-scale platform including Botim, PayBy, and mini program ecosystems.

In this role, you will perform end-to-end, integration, and regression testing across core platform services, with a strong focus on validating the impact of mini programs on key system functions such as identity, messaging, payments, and APIs. You will work closely with Product, Engineering, and Leadership teams in a fast-paced environment, analyzing changes, identifying risks, and preventing regressions across the platform.

The ideal candidate has strong experience in large-scale system testing, API validation, and cross-module analysis, with the ability to handle fast-evolving requirements and ensure platform-wide quality.

What You’ll Do
• Perform end-to-end QA validation across the entire platform, ensuring system stability and consistency for Botim, PayBy, and mini program ecosystems.
• Focus on validating changes introduced by mini programs, including their impact on core platform capabilities such as user identity, messaging, payments, and integrations.
• Rapidly analyze and test leadership-driven requirements, often with tight timelines and evolving scope.
• Conduct cross-module and cross-system impact analysis, ensuring changes do not introduce regressions across the platform.
• Execute regression, smoke, and exploratory testing to maintain overall platform quality under continuous changes.
• Validate integration flows between mini programs and backend services, including APIs, data flows, and event-driven processes.
• Ensure system-level data consistency, including user state, transactions, configurations, and logs.
• Perform risk-based testing to prioritize high-impact areas under time constraints.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Leadership stakeholders to clarify ambiguous or fast-evolving requirements.
• Identify gaps in requirements early and proactively suggest improvements or risk mitigations.
• Track, analyze, and report defects with clear impact assessment, especially on platform-wide functionality.
• Contribute to improving regression strategies, test coverage, and QA processes for rapid delivery scenarios.

• Experience testing Instant Messaging (IM) features and messaging workflows, including chat synchronization, group messaging, notifications, reactions, and related messaging workflows.
• Experience testing mini-programs or highly integrated platforms.
• Experience writing mobile UI automation tests and working with BrowserStack or similar tools.
