About The Company

wabi-sabi (侘び寂び) relates to a worldview characterized by finding beauty in imperfection, impermanence, or simplicity.

We are digital experts, tinkerers, and professionals who connect people and businesses with technology. As a boutique digital studio, we take pride in our highly efficient team approach to solving complex business challenges. We don't just build apps – we create bespoke software solutions that merge business capabilities with modern technology and UX.

What makes us different? You'll work directly with founders who are active contributors and developers themselves. No layers of management, no office politics – just direct collaboration and rapid learning. Our vision is to help every business – regardless of domain – recognize and capitalize on its digital potential in a way that makes an impactful difference for the business, its employees, and customers.

〰️ About The Role

We're inviting a Quality Assurance Engineer to join our growing team in Ljubljana. You'll take full ownership of quality across our product portfolio — from planning and manual testing to building automated coverage using coding agents. If you care deeply about cratfing safe and high-quality digital experiences, this is your role.

〰️ Your Tasks

Quality Ownership

  • Take full ownership of QA across multiple client projects — from requirements to release
  • Design and execute test plans, test cases, and regression cycles for web and mobile applications
  • Define and maintain QA processes, documentation, and quality standards across the team
  • Identify and communicate risks early, before they become problems in production

Automated Testing with AI Tools

  • Use AI coding agents to scaffold, write, and maintain E2E and integration test suites

〰️ Your Qualifications

What You Bring:

  • 3+ years of QA experience on web or mobile products
  • Strong manual testing fundamentals — you know how to break things methodically
  • Comfortable using coding agents to write and iterate on test code (we don't expect you to be a senior developer, but code doesn't scare you)
  • Experience with E2E testing frameworks (Playwright, Cypress, or similar)
  • Clear, direct communicator — you can explain a bug, a risk, or a test strategy to anyone
  • Self-directed — you take ownership and don't wait to be told what to test
  • API testing experience

Nice To Have

  • Experience working in a digital agency or consultancy (multi-project context)
  • API testing experience (Postman, REST)
  • Familiarity with CI/CD and how tests fit into the pipeline
