Junior QA engineer

About us
Friendly Technologies builds device management software that telecom operators and ISPs use to manage millions of routers, gateways, and IoT devices (LwM2M, MQTT, OMA-DM, TR-069/TR-369 USP, CoAP, and HTTP protocols).

About the role
Want to move into QA from system administration or ISP support? This role is for you. You don't need QA experience. We'll teach you testing; you bring strong networking and hands-on hardware skills.

What you'll do
Test our platform against real network hardware: routers, switches, firewalls, and CPE devices
Set up and maintain test environments on Linux and Windows servers
Reproduce, troubleshoot, and document issues reported by customers
Check protocol behavior (TCP/IP, SNMP, HTTP, and others) with tools such as Wireshark
Run basic database checks in Oracle and MySQL
Write clear bug reports and test cases in English, and work closely with developers and support

What we're looking for
English good enough to speak, read, and write technical documentation
Strong networking fundamentals
Hands-on experience with routers, switches, firewalls, and similar hardware
Experience managing, configuring, and troubleshooting Windows and Linux servers
Understanding of layer 3–7 protocols (TCP/IP, SNMP, etc.)
Basic knowledge of Oracle and MySQL (simple queries are enough)

Nice to have
Experience as a system administrator or ISP technical support engineer

What we value
You learn on your own and enjoy figuring things out
You communicate clearly and work well in a team
You want to grow professionally
You can occasionally work outside normal hours, e.g., for customer issues in other time zones

What we offer
Training in QA methods and telecom device management protocols
Work with real carrier-grade equipment and international customers
