Junior Software Engineer in Test (SET)

This is not a traditional QA position — it is a developer role with a strong focus on quality.

The Role

We are looking for a Junior Software Engineer In Test to join our engineering team. This is not a traditional QA position — it is a developer role with a strong focus on quality. You will write code every day: building automated test suites, designing testing frameworks, and contributing directly to the codebase.

When your automated tests uncover bugs in the backend, you won’t just report them — you will be expected to dive into the source code and fix them yourself. This means you’ll gain deep knowledge of our platform’s internals while keeping quality high across the board.

You will join an international team spread across Macedonia and The Netherlands, coached by experienced engineers who will help you grow rapidly. Your main focus areas will be automated functional and performance testing for our APIs (REST and GraphQL).

Required Knowledge

• JavaScript/TypeScript
• Jest/Supertest/Cypress/Playwright
• GraphQL (and/or REST)
• Git
• Use of AI tools and agents like Claude Code/Cursor/Codex/Windsurf/Kiro/Antigravity/Augment Code
• Basic knowledge of CI/CD (GitLab/Github Actions/Bitbucket Pipelines) is a plus
• Knowledge of NestJS and TypeORM is a big plus

Who you are

• A fast and eager learner with a developer mindset — you’d rather fix a bug than file a ticket
• Proficient in English with excellent communication skills
• Not afraid to experiment, break things, and learn from it
• Collaborative team player who takes initiative
• Achievement-oriented and adaptable

The client

Propeller is a fast-growing product company building an AI-driven B2B e-commerce platform. We started with a simple observation: sales teams were drowning in admin and CRM busywork while their e-commerce tools lived in a completely separate world. Our platform brings sales and e-commerce together in one place — giving teams the insights and AI assistance they need to close deals faster and make buying easier for their customers.

B2B commerce is more complex than B2C, so we built our platform alongside real customers from day one rather than working from theoretical ideals. Today we’re integrating AI agents directly into the platform to keep pushing what’s possible.

Our 20+ member team is spread across 5 countries with the HQ in Amsterdam. Our platform is API-first and headless, integrating with ERP systems and CMS platforms (WordPress, Contentful). We primarily use TypeScript with databases like PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch. We run a microservices architecture on Google Cloud (Kubernetes, Istio) and use GitLab for CI/CD.

Working hours and location

9 AM – 5 PM with flexibility. Based in our Skopje office or remote — we have a Work from Anywhere policy.
