“TOPIC combines cutting-edge technology and a strong culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing.” - Bohdan Dovbysh | Test Engineer at TOPIC

Why do you work at TOPIC?
TOPIC offers an opportunity to work on unique projects that truly make an impact on the world. Working in such an innovative environment motivates me to grow professionally and push the boundaries of what’s possible.

How would you describe your job, and what does your working day look like?
I work as a test engineer, focusing on ensuring that systems work reliably and meet the requirements. My day usually includes designing and running tests, analyzing results, and reporting issues. I collaborate closely with developers and other team members to keep the quality of the product high. I also help improve testing processes and maintain clear documentation. The role combines technical problem-solving with teamwork, which I really enjoy.

Which (technical) challenges do you have in your role?
One of the main challenges is dealing with complex systems where issues can arise from multiple components interacting in unexpected ways. It takes careful analysis to isolate the root cause of a problem. Another challenge is making sure our tests cover a wide range of scenarios without slowing down development. Balancing thorough testing with efficiency is always key. Keeping up with changing requirements and technologies also requires constant learning and adaptation.

What makes TOPIC unique?
TOPIC is unique because it combines cutting-edge technology with a strong culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing. It offers the opportunity to work on impactful, real-world projects in an environment that supports both personal and professional growth.
