Senior QA Engineer
The role is positioned in the MQA Agent team, focused on endpoint agent testing across multiple operating systems. The product is part of Acronis Cyber Protect — an all-in-one cyber protection platform. The agent runs on customer machines (Windows, Linux, macOS) and interacts with cloud services. The role requires a balance of hands-on manual testing, automated test contribution, AI-powered tooling, and collaboration with R&D and Support teams.
The team actively invests in automation coverage and AI adoption as core parts of the QA workflow — not optional extras.
The role is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys technical investigation, automation, and working efficiently with AI-powered tooling in a fast-moving environment.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Collaborate with product managers, developers, and analysts to clarify business and technical requirements.
- Design test scenarios and test cases for new and existing agent-side functionality — using AI-assisted tools (LLM test case generators, requirement analysis tools) to accelerate test design and close coverage gaps.
- Execute functional tests (manual and automated), report defects, and verify fixes.
- Contribute to automated test coverage: write, maintain, and debug automated test cases using the team's AQA framework; run autotests locally and via CI/CD pipelines.
- Adopt a prompt-first mindset: use AI tools (Claude Code, MCP tools, LLM-based analyzers) as the first step in investigation, setup troubleshooting, log analysis, and test case generation — before resorting to manual terminal debugging.
- Investigate issues using logs, system tools, network traces, metrics, and API responses.
- Prepare and maintain test environments across Windows / Linux / macOS (including ARM and Intel architectures).
- Work with virtual machines, snapshots, system configurations, and environment setup.
- Validate client–server interactions driven by cloud UI settings and policies.
- Participate in discussions with R&D teams to communicate risks, unexpected behavior, and edge cases.
- Contribute to team tooling and workflow improvements — including TestRail automation scripts, test run management tools, and Jira/TestRail coverage analysis.
- Share proactive status updates and surface blockers early; maintain visibility across release cycles.
- Analyze customer issues in cooperation with Support and engineering teams.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- 5+ years in QA, Automation, Support, or Software Development roles.
- Strong understanding of QA approaches: test design, test execution, defect lifecycle, regression planning.
- Confident Windows / Linux (and optionally macOS) user: logs, services/drivers, system tools, process inspection, basic diagnostics.
- Basic understanding of networking — enough to understand how client applications communicate with cloud services (DNS, service endpoints, certificates, basic connectivity concepts).
- Understanding of HTTP/HTTPS fundamentals and REST API basics.
- Basic scripting skills (Python, Bash, or PowerShell) — ability to write and read scripts used for test automation and tooling.
- Ability to run automated tests in a CI/CD framework and interpret test results and failures.
- Ability to read and interpret technical documentation and architecture descriptions.
- Practical experience using AI tools to accelerate QA work — including test case generation, log analysis, and requirement review — with responsible handling of data within NDA boundaries.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills in English (Upper-Intermediate+).
Good to Have:
- Experience with LLM-based test case generation tools or prompt engineering for QA workflows (requirement ingestion, gap analysis, coverage review).
- Familiarity with TestRail: test suite management, test run automation, coverage scripts.
- Experience with virtualization platforms (VMware, Hyper-V, KVM) or containers.
- Familiarity with client–server or distributed systems.
- Experience with CI/CD, Git, and artifact repositories — including safe practices (secret scanning, branch hygiene, code review).
- Exposure to cybersecurity concepts: endpoint protection, EDR, URL filtering, behavioral engine, or GenAI security.
- Experience analyzing customer logs, crash dumps, or performance data.
- Ability to work efficiently in a dynamic environment with shifting priorities.
- Interest in growing into a team lead direction — driving visibility, suggesting process improvements, and supporting junior team members.
