What we're building

BlancVPN is a privacy product used by hundreds of thousands of people โ€” the kind of product where a bad release erodes the exact trust we're built on. We're looking for a QA Engineer | Senior who's equally at home in manual testing and automation, and who understands that quality starts long before a release checklist.

We need more than a test executor โ€” a partner who spots risk early, shapes reliable processes, and helps the team keep the product stable as it grows.

What we're looking for

Core Requirements

  • Fluent Russian and English (B2+)
  • 5+ years in QA for web, mobile and desktop products
  • Strong manual testing discipline across exploratory, regression, smoke, and release testing
  • Experience designing and maintaining UI and API automation
  • Hands-on experience with Playwright, Cypress, Appium, or similar tools
  • Ability to capture and read traffic (Charles/Proxyman) and device logs (adb, Xcode)
  • Understanding of test strategy, risk-based testing, and quality metrics
  • Ability to write clear bug reports and reproducible test cases
  • Comfort working closely with product, design, engineering, and support

Nice-to-have

  • Networks at a diagnostic level: TCP/UDP, DNS, HTTPS, proxy, the OSI model
  • Experience testing APIs, integrations, payments, and edge cases
  • Familiarity with CI/CD and automated suites in delivery pipelines

What you'll be doing

Testing

  • Own manual and automated QA across web, mobile, desktop, and backend
  • Build and evolve regression, smoke, and release test plans
  • Create and maintain automation for critical user journeys
  • Run exploratory testing for new features and risky changes
  • Validate integrations, payments, onboarding, and support-critical scenarios

Process and Quality

  • Investigate production issues and help narrow down root causes
  • Improve QA processes, environments, and release checklists
  • Track defects, communicate risk clearly, and maintain a high quality bar
  • Work with engineers to prevent bugs before release
  • Help the team build a mature quality culture

  • ๐ŸŒ Work from anywhere โ€” fully remote (except Russia, Belarus, China, Syria, Iran, Yemen, North Korea, and some other regions)
  • ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Flexible 5-day week โ€” start when it suits you; loosely aligned to CET
