Middle General QA Engineer (Manual + Automation)

Launch Labs is looking for a Middle General QA Engineer to join one of our product teams and help ensure the quality, stability, and reliability of its web and mobile applications.

This is a hands-on role combining manual testing with a strong focus on test automation. Approximately 50% or more of your time will be dedicated to automation, with additional opportunities to expand automated coverage during lighter release periods.

Your main focus in the first months will be building a solid regression test suite covering both API and UI layers. Our web automation framework is built with Playwright and TypeScript, and our backend is built on GraphQL.

The product ecosystem also includes native mobile applications. Mobile automation is at an early stage, so if you're interested in exploring it later, there will be room to help shape that direction.

You will work closely with developers, product managers, designers, and other stakeholders throughout the development lifecycle. Beyond identifying defects, you will help improve testing processes, strengthen automation coverage, identify risks early, and promote shared ownership of product quality across the team.

Responsibilities:

Test Automation (primary focus)

Spend approximately 50% or more of your time on test automation, depending on the release cycle.
Build and maintain a regression test suite covering API and UI layers.
Develop and improve automated UI tests for web applications using Playwright and TypeScript.
Design and maintain API tests for our GraphQL backend and integrations.
Automate critical user journeys, regression scenarios, and high-risk product areas.
Analyze failed automated tests, identify root causes, and improve test reliability.
Integrate automated tests into the development and release processes.
Expand automation coverage during non-release weeks.

Manual Testing

Perform functional, regression, integration, exploratory, and usability testing.
Test web applications across different browsers and screen sizes.
Test native mobile applications.
Review product requirements, designs, and acceptance criteria before development and release.

Quality Ownership

Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, designers, and other stakeholders.
Participate in planning, refinement, and release discussions.
Identify quality risks early and communicate them clearly to the team.
Contribute to test planning and define appropriate testing coverage for new features.
Improve QA documentation, processes, and testing standards.

Would be a plus:

Interest in mobile automation (Appium) - there will be an opportunity to explore this area in the future.
Interest in sports, fitness, baseball, coaching, or performance-tracking products.

Work conditions:

4 weeks of paid vacation per year.
Flexible working hours.
Medical insurance for your peace of mind.
Professional development support - Launch Labs covers courses, training, and skill growth.
Individual and group English classes.
Fully remote work, with freedom and flexibility.
