QA Engineer Manual & Automation

Job description

🩷About us At PLG Group , we connect people with culture: from concerts, theatre, and festivals to art exhibitions and live events across Czechia and Slovakia. We started out as GoOut back in 2011, driven by a simple idea: to make it easier for people to discover and experience culture. Over the years, we’ve grown together with the local scene, and in 2023, we became part of the PLG Group, one of Europe’s leading live-event platforms. Since then, our group has expanded to include Ticketstream and Ticketportal , bringing together the strongest local brands under one roof. Thanks to that, we can keep doing what we love — supporting culture — but now with even better tools, technology, and reach to improve the experience for organisers and visitors alike. What hasn’t changed? Our mindset. We still work in a creative, open, and no-BS way, close to the artists, promoters, and audiences who make culture happen every day. 💚Your role As a QA Engineer Manual & Automation , you’ll contribute directly to our mission of connecting people with culture.
