QA Engineer - R&D projects

We are Progress (Nasdaq: PRGS) - the trusted provider of software that enables our customers to develop, deploy and manage responsible, AI-powered applications and experiences with agility and ease.

We’re proud to have a diverse, global team where we value the individual and enrich our culture by considering varied perspectives because we believe people power progress. Join us as a QA Engineer and help us do what we do best: propelling business forward.

We are looking for a QA Engineer who will not only help us with our regular product quality testing, but will also be part of the research team responsible for developing new features from R&D projects. You will be responsible for working on both manual and automated testing. As this is a junior position, we don't expect x years of experience, but someone who is willing to learn new things. We will teach you all the necessary technologies and procedures. We value teamwork, cooperation and communication.

Please, note that this role is related to the implementation of R&D projects, which currently end in 6/2026. Therefore, the duration of this role is also valid until the same period. However, we are constantly submitting new project requests, so it's very likely that this period will be extended.

In this role, you will:

Test new features from R&D projects that will later be integrated into the product code.
Validate features to ensure they work as intended and are free of bugs. This is detective work, where the goal is to destroy your colleagues' creations and uncover any defects before the product reaches the customer.
Design and automate test scenarios with Cypress and manage them in SpiraTest
Help with regression testing of the product before the release
Actively participate in the design of new features

Your background:

Technical skills in application testing and test automation
Ability to write Cypress/Python/Jenkins scripts (optional)
Knowledge of GNU/Linux and understanding of networking concepts
Attention to detail and passion for problem solving
Enthusiasm and willingness to persevere to find the best solution
Ability to read and write technical documentation in English

If this sounds like you and fits your experience and career goals, we’d be happy to chat. What we offer in return is the opportunity to experience a great company culture with wonderful colleagues to learn from and collaborate with and also to enjoy: 

Compensation: Competitive salary, bonus, and best-in-class Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP) with a 27-month lookback.
Benefits: Our benefits package varies depending on the country you are joining us in and is designed to recognize the diverse needs of our people.
Time-off and Leave: Generous vacation allowance, an additional day off for your birthday, and days off for volunteering
Well-being: A global well-being program focused on physical, mental, and financial health.
Focus on Employee Experience: We aim to create an environment where people view their time at Progress as their best career chapter by seeking your feedback, partnering with you and recognizing and celebrating the moments that matter.
