Quality Engineer

Job description

We’re on the lookout for a curious and proactive **Quality Engineer** to join our Chisinau on-site team at Planable - now part of SE Ranking. You’ll help shape how we test and deliver the product used by thousands of marketing teams around the world. From collaborative content workflows to creative approvals, your work will ensure our users have a smooth experience. You’ll work across several projects, help teams make practical quality decisions, improve our testing systems, and use AI agents to automate a meaningful part of your work. ### **🚀 What you’ll do** ### **Drive quality throughout product delivery** You’ll support **four to six projects running in parallel**, working closely with engineers from early development through release. - Understand why a feature exists, what problem it solves, and who it serves - Learn how customers are expected to use it and identify the most important user flows - Agree with engineers on the testing scope, responsibilities, and timing - Surface risks early and plan ahead so quality work never blocks the team unexpectedly - Use manual testing selectively to evaluate complete user experiences—not to search for every minor cosmetic or technical issue - Make clear recommendations about release readiness ### **Build, automate, and investigate** You’ll be hands-on with both the product and its supporting systems. - Create and maintain reliable automated coverage with **Playwright** - Contribute focused improvements within established product areas - Resolve straightforward product issues when doing so is the fastest path forward - Own self-contained features from implementation through validation - Monitor CI on the main branch, investigate failures, and coordinate the next steps - Run quick sanity checks when engineers need timely input ### **Improve how the team approaches quality** Your impact should extend beyond the projects you personally support. - Improve testing tools, workflows, and AI-assisted practices - Help define meaningful goals for the QA team - Own quality metrics and use them to guide improvements - Identify recurring problems and address them through better systems - Help the team focus its testing effort where the risk and customer impact are highest ### **🤖 Work AI-first** AI is a core part of this role—not an occasional productivity tool. We expect you to use agents for coding, investigation, automation, context gathering, and routine problem-solving. Your focus will increasingly be on creating effective workflows, providing the right context, reviewing results, and improving the agents you rely on. You should: - Already use AI extensively in your daily work - Be able to demonstrate practical tools or workflows you’ve built with it - Be familiar with **MCP and agent-based workflows** - Know how to create, maintain, and oversee agents that perform real work - Remain accountable for the quality of AI-generated outcomes - Continuously explore ways to move repeatable work into the background Experience with **AI evals** is a plus. ### **🧩 How we work** Nobody hands you a complete task list. You decide what needs attention based on your understanding of the product and the team. Several projects run in parallel, priorities can change quickly, and context switching is part of the job. You’ll need to create your own structure and stay organized without a process imposed from above. We keep meetings to a minimum. Getting the context you need is part of your work—through Slack discussions, pull requests, and direct conversations with teammates. ### **🌟 You’ll thrive in this role if you** - Take initiative without waiting for detailed instructions - Stay organized in a fast-moving, sometimes messy environment - Understand customer problems—not only testing requirements - Make sensible decisions with incomplete information - Assess risk and communicate your reasoning clearly - Protect quality without expecting every solution to be perfect - Correct course quickly when new information appears - Are comfortable testing, automating, writing product code, fixing pipelines, and coordinating with people - Believe that agents should perform much of the routine coding and problem-solving, with you guiding and overseeing the work ### **🎁 What we offer** - A cozy office in a central area with everything you need to focus - Tasty free lunches every weekday - 22 days of paid time off, plus local national holidays - Flexible work hours and a culture that trusts you to manage your time - Private medical insurance - Extended paid sick leave so you can fully recover without worry - Career map with growth opportunities - A yearly learning budget for courses, books, or anything that helps you grow professionally - A yearly wellbeing budget you can use for sport, therapy, or even a good novel - Best hardware for your work (team Apple) - An award-winning product loved by thousands of customers worldwide - A transparent, flexible culture with people at the core of everything we do - Events that are actually fun You’ll be joining the Planable team, part of SE Ranking, working alongside **20+ folks in our Chișinău office**. ### **✨ Hiring Process** We’re all about **transparency and clarity**, so here’s what you can expect when applying: ### **1.
