At Podimo, one of Europe's fastest-growing podcast and audiobook platforms, we're looking for a QA Engineer who takes the initiative, owns quality end-to-end, builds test automation, and treats AI as a force multiplier in everything they ship.

This is the role

You’ll join the Activation squad, working across backend, Android, and iOS platforms to ship reliable experiences. You’ll deep dive into features and own their quality and end-to-end automation, using AI-assisted testing to keep feedback loops tight and improve coverage.

You’ll also contribute to Podimo’s QA community, a strong cross-squad group shaping how the entire engineering organization approaches quality, innovates into tools and practices.

Your main responsibilities in this role

  • Collaborate with engineers, product managers, designers and analytics from day one: review acceptance criteria, catch gaps early, close the loop fast

  • Monitor quality dashboards and investigate issues through logs and observability tooling.

  • Design and maintain E2E test automation across backend, web, Android, and iOS

  • Build and evolve QA tooling, and help drive how AI is adopted in testing across Podimo

  • Actively contribute to the QA community by sharing practices and raising standards across teams

  • Turn real user issues from Customer Care into permanent regression coverage

This is you

We care more about how you think and grow than how many years you’ve worked. You move fast, communicate clearly, and see quality as a product feature, not a phase at the end.

  • You communicate like an owner: you share early, ask questions, and keep everyone in the loop

  • You're genuinely curious about AI, new technologies, and quality, and eager to learn and apply fast

  • You take proactive ownership: you have ideas and drive them end-to-end to completion

  • You learn fast and apply immediately

  • You have strong attention to detail

Experience we’re looking for

  • Hands-on manual testing experience, with a sharp eye for edge cases and user impact

  • Test automation experience on at least one platform (backend, web, or mobile). You don't need to know all of them; you need to know one well enough to learn the next

  • Comfortable using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, or similar) to build, test, or automate

  • Strong communication in English

Naturally, being passionate and knowledgeable about podcasts, audio and video content, creators, entertainment and the media industry is a big plus!

What We Offer

  • Up to six months of fully paid parental leave for all new parents - no matter your gender and no matter where in the world you live

  • Participation in our ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Program). You'll own a piece of what we're building

  • Learning and development budget, including AI tools, courses, and conferences.

  • Flexible working hours and a hybrid setup

  • The chance to make an impact at an international company. You'll see your work pay off.

  • Free daily lunch with great colleagues in the office

  • Salary 4000-5500 EUR gross, depending on experience in Lithuania
