About OCCRP

OCCRP is one of the largest investigative journalism organizations in the world, headquartered in Amsterdam and with staff across six continents . We are a mission-driven nonprofit newsroom that partners with other media outlets to publish stories that lead to real-world action. At the same time, our media development arm helps investigative outlets around the world succeed and serve the public.

Our mission is to spread and strengthen investigative journalism around the world and expose crime and corruption so the public can hold power to account. Our work has four main pillars:

• Investigations - we lead collaborative cross-border projects and publish hard hitting stories;
• Infrastructure - we provide training, tools, and resources so investigative outlets can thrive;
• Innovation - we develop new technology and solutions that serve the field of journalism; and
• Impact - we accelerate the fight against global crime and corruption with groundbreaking partnerships.

Role Purpose

We're looking for a full-time high-agency QA analyst to own quality for OCCRP’s digital products.

You'll work with minimal hand-holding: designing test coverage, reproducing bugs, communicating with users, and improving our testing and debugging workflows.

OCCRP’s flagship data product, Aleph Pro, is a massive research archive and collaboration platform for investigative reporting. It provides collections, entity graphs, ingest pipelines, cross-referencing (XREF), and a React UI so investigators can search, link, and analyze data.

This position involves manual diagnosing and triaging of bugs as well as exploratory testing and writing automated tests.

Essential Qualifications and Experience

• You have provided QA for distributed, cloud-native applications
• Excellent, proactive communication and interpersonal skills
• You're comfortable reading, (not necessarily writing), Go, React, and Python code, and you use Git and Jira fluently.
• You are proactive in proposing new test cases, and following documented debug workflows without daily oversight.
• You have experience testing APIs and data-intensive applications

Nice to have

• Exposure to Kubernetes and Apache Beam
• Familiarity with OSINT or investigative journalism tools or FTM-style data
• Experience writing automated tests with Selenium, Cypress, or similar
