We are currently developing a new product — the BUSY Bar productivity multitool. It's a smart device that helps you stay focused and minimize distractions.

We're looking for a Senior QA Engineer (IoT / Embedded & Cloud) to design and own test coverage for complex E2E scenarios spanning firmware, cloud services, and mobile applications, ensuring reliable interaction between devices, backend systems, and apps.

Responsibilities

- Design E2E test coverage across firmware, cloud, and mobile applications to verify device state, data consistency, and end-to-end behavior

- Test device-to-cloud communication, including network failures, reconnections, timeouts, offline operation, and OTA update and rollback scenarios

- Test cloud and local APIs, business logic, data validation, and error handling to ensure reliable behavior across integration scenarios

- Analyze device and cloud logs to diagnose issues, verify command execution, and identify anomalies across system components

- Build test data and configuration strategies for different device types, users, environments, and complex scenarios involving multiple devices

- Identify and prioritize E2E scenarios for automation, define test specifications for automation engineers, and maintain stable smoke and regression testing processes

Requirements

- Strong QA experience with complex software products and the ability to design test coverage across firmware, backend APIs, and mobile applications

- Strong requirements analysis and systems thinking, with the ability to identify dependencies and integration points across devices, cloud services, and applications

- Hands-on experience testing REST or gRPC APIs using tools such as Postman, Swagger, or existing automated tests

- Experience analyzing device logs such as UART or syslog and cloud logs using tools such as Kibana or Sentry, with a basic understanding of embedded systems architecture

- Experience testing native or cross-platform mobile applications that interact with devices via BLE or Wi-Fi and cloud services

- Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments, building QA processes, managing test artifacts in Jira, Confluence, TestRail, Qase, or TestOps, and defining scenarios for test automation

- English proficiency sufficient for reading technical documentation and communicating with an international team

Nice-to-haves

- Experience testing IoT or smart devices, including OTA updates, connectivity loss and recovery, and offline operation

- Basic Python or JavaScript skills for creating simple test utilities, generating test data, parsing logs, or understanding automated tests

- Experience with device simulators or emulators, network traffic analysis tools such as Wireshark or tcpdump, or security testing of device-to-cloud integrations

What we offer

- Choose your work format: office, hybrid, or fully remote from anywhere in the world

- You will be provided with all the necessary equipment for a comfortable working environment

- Benefits such as VHI, corporate sports, foreign language courses, and therapy sessions
