* Plan, design, and execute manual test cases across multiple projects.
* Perform deep exploratory and regression testing to ensure our products are world-class.
* Report bugs clearly and concisely, acting as the bridge between the user experience and the development team.
* Analyse test results and document findings where appropriate
* Collaborate closely with developers, project managers, and other QA team members
* Contribute to project stand-ups
* Help drive and evolve QA best practices across the company
* Balance multiple priorities and projects in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
Requirements
What We're Looking For
* 1–2 years of hands-on experience in a QA or software testing role
* A strong eye for detail and a methodical, pragmatic approach to problem-solving
* Experience with exploratory testing and the ability to design your own test cases
* Familiarity with Agile methodologies and how QA fits into the software development lifecycle
* Comfortable using tools like Jira (or similar project/bug tracking tools)
* Strong verbal and written communication skills and a collaborative mindset
* An understanding or interest in test automation is a plus
Benefits
Why Join Us?
You’ll be part of a team that values QA as a vital, standalone discipline. We don’t see testing as a phase, but as a core pillar of our innovation.
