The mission

We’re growing qTest, the platform testers use to organize their work, into a faster, more reliable, and easier-to-use SaaS product, adopting AI where it truly benefits users. It’s already trusted by over 70,000 users and handles more than 17 million API calls every day.

You’ll play a key role in shaping how we build it: leading technical implementation, maintaining a high bar for quality, and driving backend-focused improvements. That means reworking the storage architecture, setting up a message bus, improving APIs, splitting a monolith, enhancing features in a mature product, and tightening security.

You’ll be part of a team (paired with a PM and EM) that owns a clear product area. We work in two-week sprints, deploy continuously behind feature flags, and usually focus on projects that run one to two months.

Required experience and what you will do:

• Design and build backend features in Java (Spring, Hibernate/JPA, PostgreSQL)

• Lead design discussions, write RFCs, and weigh trade-offs

• Run spikes, break down epics, and help plan sprints

• Improve code quality through continuous refactoring, and addressing technical debt systematically

• Work with the product team to prioritize backend improvements that increase reliability and performance

• Live and advocate the “you build it, you run it” mindset

• Help troubleshoot production incidents using Datadog, BetterStack, and Incident.io

• Mentor by example through code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing

• Own the domain architecture and partner with architects on cross-team patterns

• Occasionally pitch in on DevOps basics (Helm charts, Docker Compose, GitHub Actions, AWS console/API)

Bring one or more extra strengths:

• Database: schema design, query tuning, safe migrations

• Frontend: React/TypeScript, performance and accessibility

• DevOps: CI/CD automation, observability, ephemeral environments

• Architecture: event-driven and service-oriented patterns

• Technical excellence: championing modern practices

You can look forward to:

• Flexible working schedule (no core hours)

• Learning and career growth opportunities

• 25 days of paid time off

• 3 Sick Days

• 2 days of paid Volunteering Leave per year to get involved in your local community or in a cause that matters to you

• Hybrid work environment with home-office allowance

• Meal allowance

• Pension Contribution

• Life & Disability Insurance

• Paid Sickness Leave

• A team of passionate professionals who are experts in their fields

• Events for employees to learn, celebrate, and socialize (training sessions, hackathons, parties, sports events, board game gatherings, BBQs), and much more
