- Test device-to-cloud communication, including network failures, reconnections, timeouts, offline operation, and OTA update and rollback scenarios
- Test cloud and local APIs, business logic, data validation, and error handling to ensure reliable behavior across integration scenarios
- Analyze device and cloud logs to diagnose issues, verify command execution, and identify anomalies across system components
- Build test data and configuration strategies for different device types, users, environments, and complex scenarios involving multiple devices
- Identify and prioritize E2E scenarios for automation, define test specifications for automation engineers, and maintain stable smoke and regression testing processes

## Requirements

- Strong QA experience with complex software products and the ability to design test coverage across firmware, backend APIs, and mobile applications
- Strong requirements analysis and systems thinking, with the ability to identify dependencies and integration points across devices, cloud services, and applications
- Hands-on experience testing REST or gRPC APIs using tools such as Postman, Swagger, or existing automated tests
- Experience analyzing device logs such as UART or syslog and cloud logs using tools such as Kibana or Sentry, with a basic understanding of embedded systems architecture
- Experience testing native or cross-platform mobile applications that interact with devices via BLE or Wi-Fi and cloud services
- Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments, building QA processes, managing test artifacts in Jira, Confluence, TestRail, Qase, or TestOps, and defining scenarios for test automation
- English proficiency sufficient for reading technical documentation and communicating with an international team

Nice-to-haves

- Experience testing IoT or smart devices, including OTA updates, connectivity loss and recovery, and offline operation
- Basic Python or JavaScript skills for creating simple test utilities, generating test data, parsing logs, or understanding automated tests
- Experience with device simulators or emulators, network traffic analysis tools such as Wireshark or tcpdump, or security testing of device-to-cloud integrations

## What we offer

- Choose your work format: office, hybrid, or fully remote from anywhere in the world
- You will be provided with all the necessary equipment for a comfortable working environment
