About Us:
Develux is an IT consulting and software development company focused on building innovative solutions for the US market. Alongside our outsourcing services, we are actively developing our own HRTech SaaS product, and our HRM system is currently approaching its public release stage.
We are looking for an experienced Manual / General QA Engineer to join our product team and take ownership of product quality as we move toward release. This role goes beyond functional testing — you’ll work closely with the development team, investigate complex issues, assess risks and feature impact, and help ensure we focus testing and development efforts where they bring the most value.
We’re looking for someone with strong product thinking, technical investigation skills, and experience using AI-powered tools in day-to-day QA workflow.
What You’ll Do:
Perform primarily functional testing (90%), with a focus on UI/UX testing (10%), using both manual approaches and AI-powered tools.
Review new feature specifications to identify potential gaps and risks before development and testing.
Assess feature business value, complexity, and dependencies to identify unnecessary solutions early and support feature design and integration testing.
Conduct detailed issue investigations using frontend and backend logs, databases, HTTP requests, and infrastructure monitoring, leveraging AI tools where helpful.
Perform impact and risk analysis for new features and defects to identify areas requiring additional testing.
Prioritize defects based on their business and product impact, helping the team focus on critical fixes and make informed release decisions.
Own the full defect lifecycle within your area of responsibility, including issues identified through both manual and automated testing.
Collaborate with the development team on the Definition of Ready, including bug-fixing priorities and scope.

Technical Investigation: Ability to investigate issues using frontend and backend logs, databases, HTTP requests, and infrastructure monitoring.
System & Integration Understanding: Solid understanding of dependencies between features and system components, their impact across product areas, and how to apply this knowledge to integration testing.
Impact & Risk Analysis: Ability to assess feature and defect impact, identify risk areas, and define where additional testing is required.
Defect Management: Ability to identify, document, prioritize, and manage defects throughout their full lifecycle based on severity, business impact, and release risks.
Strong Product & Quality Mindset:
Ownership: Strong ownership of product quality and testing outcomes within your area of responsibility
Product Thinking: Ability to critically evaluate feature business value and complexity and identify unnecessary or overly complex solutions early.
Feature Review: Ability to review feature specifications, identify gaps and risks, and contribute to defining testing scope before development.
AI Feature Testing: Ability to effectively test AI-generated features and functionality, even when requirements are minimal or evolving.
Technical Tools & AI-Assisted QA:
Technical Toolkit: Familiarity with Chrome DevTools, Datadog, BrowserStack, Redis, PostgreSQL, Playwright, and GitHub Actions is a plus (or experience with similar alternatives), though not strictly required.
Git & AI-Assisted Development Tools: Basic Git skills and interest in using AI-assisted development tools for static testing and running automated tests.
