The Challenge
Talk360’s users are counting on us to just work — a failed call isn’t a UX inconvenience; it’s a broken connection to someone who matters. Quality is the product.
Right now, our QA practice is at an inflection point. We’ve been largely manual and reactive. We’re changing that deliberately: shifting left, building automation into our definition of done, and making quality the shared responsibility of the whole engineering team — not a bottleneck at the end of the pipeline.
We’re looking for an automation engineer with deep quality instincts. Someone who can architect our testing infrastructure, embed quality thinking from the first line of code to production, and progressively eliminate the manual work that slows teams down. You’ll lead the journey, not just participate in it.
What You’ll Do
Own the QA process end to end
From backlog refinement — where you catch logic gaps and edge cases before a line of code is written — through feature testing, UAT, and production release. Structured, predictable, communicated clearly.
Lead the automation effort
Design, build, and maintain our automation frameworks across iOS, Android, Web, and API. Write automation code yourself. Review automation PRs from the dev team. Keep the suite healthy, fast, and trustworthy.
Drive the automation roadmap
Make quality measurable
Define and monitor QA metrics — coverage, cycle time, defect escape rate, regression confidence. Use data to identify gaps, improve incrementally, and make the case for investment.
Build the quality culture
Use SonarCloud, quality gates, CI/CD integration, and AI tooling to systematically raise our quality floor. Bring the team with you. Don’t wait to be asked.
The Team
You’ll work alongside Michal (interim QA Freelancer— who has been scoping and building our QA foundation) and tech team with Igor (Mobile Lead), Tom (Tech Lead), Alex (Backend), Isah (Frontend), Oleg (Full Stack), and Yahaya (VoIP). On the product side, you’ll work closely with Kseniia.
Talk360 is a lean company — around 30 people globally — which means your impact is visible, and your influence is real. Cross-functional collaboration isn’t a value statement here; it’s just how the work happens.

About Talk360
Talk360 has grown into a global communications platform connecting more than 6 million people worldwide. We successfully spun off our payments arm into NjiaPay, stepped into the gap left by the discontinuation of Skype, and achieved profitable growth from 2025 onwards — marking our transition from early-stage scale-up to a disciplined, sustainable business.
We’re now expanding beyond our own B2C app. We’ve built and launched an SDK that lets partner platforms embed Talk360’s calling infrastructure directly into their own products — opening a new distribution channel and a new layer of technical complexity. Our ambition is bold: to become the world’s most trusted way to call any real phone number.
