General QA Engineer
Job Description
What we do (and why it matters):
Swarmer develops software that makes drones autonomous and allows them to operate together, in large teams, without pilots required. Our technology has been battle-tested across 100,000+ combat missions in Ukraine — the world's most intense proving ground for drone warfare. We just closed a $15M Series A (the largest investment in Ukrainian defense tech since the war began) and we're scaling operations to serve NATO-aligned nations.
This isn't theoretical. This is software that's being used right now to save lives and defend democracy.
What we're looking for:
We are looking for a General QA Engineer with an Automation skillset and readiness to work with manual test scenarios to join our team. This role blends hands-on test execution, test automation, and QA process ownership — from requirements review to building automated test suites and validating production-ready releases.
**
What you'll do:**
-
Lead the creation and execution of comprehensive test plans and test suits for our software solutions. Build complex test scenarios simulating various operational and edge-case environments.
-
Create and improve test automation solution with a focus on scalability and maintainability
-
Identify, document, and track software defects using issue-tracking systems.
-
Create detailed test data generation and management strategies.
-
Implement automated testing frameworks and tools, including software-in-the-loop (SITL) testing, to enhance testing efficiency and early defect detection.
-
Ensure we have comprehensive test coverage across web interfaces, backend systems, and drone communication layers.
-
Collaborate with engineering teams to identify, document, and resolve software defects.
-
Work closely with development, product, and operations teams to ensure quality at every product lifecycle stage.
-
Act as the quality advocate within the company, ensuring the best outcomes for our product and users.
-
Ensure we have a complete picture of our quality at all times.
-
Understand business value from proposed QA processes and use manual, scripting or automated test solutions according to business need.
What you'll get:
-
Direct influence on product quality in a high-stakes defense tech environment where your decisions have real-world impact.
-
Professional growth through hands-on work with advanced drone systems and exposure to international QA and testing best practices.
-
Competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package (insurance, paid sick leave, 20 paid days off per year).
-
Flexible remote work options where possible.
How's the hiring process going:
✔️ Intro Call → ✔️ Technical Interview → ✔️ Management Interview → ✔️ Final Interview → ✔️ Offer
Please note that, as a leading defense tech company, we take operations security seriously and may need to perform additional background checks as part of our hiring process. We will do so in accordance with all applicable EU laws and regulations and safeguard your data in the process.
Why this matters (and why you should care):
Ukraine is deploying 5 million drones in 2025 alone. The US and NATO are paying attention. The future of defense isn't more pilots—it's smarter software. We're not selling PowerPoints; we're selling proven technology that's been refined under the most demanding conditions imaginable.
Our team is direct, moves fast, and doesn't waste time on performative nonsense. If you want a company with seven layers of approval and endless consensus-building, this isn't it. If you want to do the most important work of your career with people who say what they mean and execute, let's talk.
Ready to Apply? If you're excited about solving complex challenges and eager to contribute to the safety and security of Western-Democratic nations, please get in touch!
