Your Role as QA Engineer
As a QA Engineer at SkillsTown, you won’t just be testing software—you’ll be directly shaping the learning experiences of thousands of professionals worldwide. This is your chance to work on a platform that’s actively redefining how people learn and grow in their careers. You’ll join a multidisciplinary team where quality is a shared responsibility, and your contributions will have a clear and measurable impact.
You'll collaborate with developers, product managers, and UX designers to ensure that new features are not only functional but also stable, scalable, and enjoyable to use. From planning test strategies to implementing robust automation frameworks, you’ll help take our QA capabilities to the next level. If you’re passionate about delivering high-quality digital experiences, this is your opportunity to make a difference.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a QA Engineer, you’ll play a key role in ensuring the reliability and performance of our platform. You’ll design and execute a combination of manual and automated test cases for our web applications. Together with developers and other team members, you’ll define testing strategies that are deeply aligned with user needs and product goals.
Automation will be a central part of your work. Using tools like Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright, you’ll build and maintain testing frameworks that help us release faster and with more confidence. You'll also test APIs with Postman or Insomnia, making sure data flows smoothly through our systems.
To ensure a smooth experience for all users, you'll run performance and load tests using tools like JMeter or Gatling, identifying bottlenecks before they affect our users. When defects appear, you’ll log and track them carefully and collaborate closely with developers to find timely solutions.
You'll participate in code reviews and CI/CD processes using tools like GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps, contributing to the continuous improvement of our development pipeline. And you’ll stay sharp by keeping up with the latest trends and technologies in the world of QA.
Technical Skillset
Who You Are
You’re a detail-oriented problem solver with a strong grasp of software quality and the development lifecycle. You think beyond individual bugs—focusing on patterns, root causes, and long-term stability. Whether or not you’ve worked in e-learning before, you're eager to dive into the domain and make a meaningful impact.
Analytical by nature, you take pride in delivering high-quality work. But you also understand that great quality comes from great collaboration. You’re someone who communicates clearly, works well with cross-functional teams, and actively contributes to discussions and decisions.
You’re proactive, adaptable, and always looking for ways to improve—whether that’s through automation, new tools, or smarter workflows. For you, quality isn’t just a step in the process—it’s a mindset you bring to everything you do.

Our QA engineers are deeply embedded in the product development cycle, working alongside developers, UX designers, and product managers from day one. We foster a culture of openness, experimentation, and continuous learning. You’ll be encouraged to share ideas, try new approaches, and grow both personally and professionally.
