QA Engineer Manual & Automation

🩷 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. You’ll have the space to take ownership, shape processes, and make a meaningful impact in your area of expertise. As a manual tester, you will be working closely with our developers, product team and other stakeholders. You will be designing and performing manual and automated testing for both web and mobile (iOS and Android) applications.

What you’ll do:

Test predominantly web-based applications across frontend and backend layers for different user groups, including customers, event organizers, and internal users

Design, maintain, and execute automated test suites, with the goal of maximising meaningful test coverage

Perform manual, regression, and exploratory testing where automation is not efficient or feasible

Define testing strategies and create test scenarios and plans based on common use cases and user flows

Test new features and bug fixes, ensuring they meet functional and technical requirements without negatively affecting other parts of the system

Take ownership of overall test quality and contribute to release readiness

Document, analyse, and clearly communicate identified bugs and errors

Proactively identify product risks, gaps in test coverage, bugs, and opportunities to improve both the product and QA processes

Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and designers, as well as support, business, marketing, content, and finance teams

Work within a cross-team QA structure, cooperating with three other QA Engineers across different products

Who we're looking for:

You have hands-on experience with automated testing using tools and frameworks of your choice

You have a solid understanding of manual testing principles and know when to apply them effectively

You have experience testing web applications across frontend and backend layers; experience with mobile application testing is an advantage

You understand the core principles of how web applications work

You have strong analytical skills and can proactively identify potential issues, risks, and gaps in test coverage

You are structured, well-organised, and detail-oriented, with a natural curiosity about how things work

You take ownership of quality and outcomes, not just assigned tasks

You can work independently while contributing to shared QA standards across teams

You communicate clearly and have English skills at B1 level or higher

You are willing to learn, improve, and evolve testing practices together with the team
