For which tasks (responsibilities)?

Testing at Kleos is real but has room to grow. You'll own QA automation end-to-end — designing the strategy, building coverage where it matters most, and keeping it working as we ship fast.

What you'll do

• Design and build automated test suites across the stack: API, E2E, integration

• Expand Playwright coverage for the Vue 3 frontend — auth flows, payout cycles, contractor onboarding, withdraw requests, document generation

• Write API tests covering JWT auth, multi-currency transactions, and financial state flows

• Work with Vitest + Vue Test Utils for component-level tests

• Do manual testing when it matters — exploratory testing on complex financial flows, edge cases, regression before major releases

• Own CI/CD test integration and keep pipelines green and fast

• Work directly with engineers to define testable requirements before code is written

• Catch quality risks before they reach 600+ paying teams

What kind of professional are we looking for?

Must have

• 4+ years in QA, 2+ years focused on automation

• Strong Playwright experience (JS/TS)

• Solid API testing skills: REST, JWT flows, stateful financial scenarios

• Experience on financial, transactional, or compliance-heavy products

• Comfortable with Docker and CI/CD pipelines

• You treat flaky tests as a real problem, not background noise

Nice to have

• PHP or Go service testing experience

• Vue component testing (Vitest, Vue Test Utils)

• Experience with Kubernetes environments

• KYC/KYB flows or payments platforms

What is important for us in a person?

What makes you the right person

• You can spot an untestable architecture and say so — with a fix

• You do exploratory testing on your own without being asked

• You care about the product, not just the test count

• You communicate blockers early, not after the fact

Why do we enjoy working here?

• Fully remote, full-time role with flexible working hours across CET time zones.

• The full Kleos benefits package — see the careers page.

• Work in a product-driven, design-aware team with high standards and autonomy.
