As SMG’s innovation hub, SMG Vietnam develops cutting-edge solutions in a collaborative, empowering environment. Recognized among the 2023 Asia & Vietnam Best Workplaces, we attract top digital talent to create exceptional user experiences for Switzerland. Guided by our core values—Better Together, Aim High, and Act Responsibly—we drive innovation and meaningful change.

This job refers to our Automotive brands, Autoscout24 and Motoscout24, Switzerland’s leading online marketplaces that connect buyers, sellers, and dealers for vehicles of all kinds, supported by services such as featured listings, advertising solutions, and leads for financing and insurance.

We are looking for QA Engineers to help us shape the future of the Swiss automotive market by ensuring the quality and reliability of our modern, innovative platforms. You will collaborate closely with a diverse community of talented engineers from around the globe, leverage their expertise, and contribute your own as you grow your skills in test automation, quality practices, and scalable, high-performing digital products.

Join our dynamic team, located in six countries (Switzerland, Serbia, Vietnam, France, Germany, and India), where creativity thrives. Together, we tackle challenges, celebrate successes, and keep learning and growing.

Your Mission

• Work as part of an agile team:
  • Act as the QA voice in agile ceremonies and independently manage the testing lifecycle to ensure quality and reduce tech debt for medium- to large-scale features.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ship valuable product increments.
• Perform thorough functionality tests:
  • Review acceptance criteria, developer notes, and design documents to formulate test cases.
  • Maintain a balanced testing strategy by dedicating at least 30% of your workload to automation. Prioritize converting key manual test cases into automated scripts to accelerate regression and end-to-end test cycles.
  • Test domain-driven web referencing database-heavy back-end systems and check the consistency across devices, browsers, and operating systems.
  • Conduct periodic exploratory testing in test environments.
• Own product quality:
  • Work closely with engineering teams to derive testing requirements throughout the development cycle.
  • Provide input on high-level test scenarios, risks, resources, and test estimates during planning sessions.
• Support the bug triage process:
  • Reproduce bugs, isolate problems, and verify fixes.
  • Report defects in a clear, friendly, and easily reproducible manner.
  • Track incidents, perform root cause analysis, and recommend actionable follow-ups.
  • Track defects and help troubleshoot errors.

Your responsibilities will evolve as we grow.
