Senior QA Analyst

Role

At Sword, quality isn't a final checkpoint, it's a mindset the whole team owns, and as a QA Analyst, you're the one who leads it. This goes way beyond executing tests: you'll own quality end-to-end, shaping the experience long before a line of code is written and long after a feature goes live. Before a feature is even built, you're already in the room, asking the sharp questions that stop issues before they're born. From there, you'll design and run test cases with real autonomy, trusted to make the calls that matter. And when a feature ships, your job isn't done: you'll stay close, supporting the team through whatever comes up. At every step, you're not just checking specs, you're pushing the entire experience to be better, sharper, more seamless. You'll do this inside a cross-functional team and across others when needed, which means your your communication and ability to lead carry weight.

What you’ll be doing

• Work closely within a cross-functional team (Frontend, Backend, Design, Product, etc.) and collaborate across teams when needed;
• Get involved early — contribute to design and development discussions to help prevent issues before they reach testing;
• Design, execute, and maintain test plans and test cases;
• Build and maintain QA processes and procedures that the whole team can benefit from;
• Identify, document, and track defects through to resolution;
• Maintain thorough testing documentation;
• Invest in test automation over time.

What you need to have

• +4 years of experience as a QA Analyst;
• Experience testing web apps;
• Experience in test case design, creation, execution, and reporting;
• Good analytical, communication, and teamwork skills;
• A critical mindset and attention to detail;
• Autonomy and initiative;
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.

• Experience with test automation;
• Familiarity with tools like Postman, Jira, Git, Xray, Android Studio.
