About the role

We’re looking for a hands-on Quality Assurance Engineer with strong manual testing experience to ensure our products meet the highest quality standards before release.

You’ll be responsible for validating functionality, UX/UI consistency, edge cases, and overall product stability across web and mobile environments. You’ll work closely with product, design, and engineering teams and play a key role in making sure features are ready for release from a quality standpoint.

Over time, this role offers an opportunity to grow beyond pure QA and take on more responsibility around coordination, execution, and delivery ownership.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform thorough manual QA testing across web and mobile (UI, UX, logic, edge cases, responsiveness).
• Validate product behavior against specs, designs, and expected user flows.
• Identify, document, and clearly communicate bugs and inconsistencies.
• Verify fixes and ensure issues are fully resolved before release.
• Conduct regression testing for new features and production hotfixes.
• Maintain structured bug reports and testing documentation.
• Ensure consistent quality across browsers, devices, and screen sizes.
• Participate in release readiness checks and quality sign-offs.

Qualifications

• 2–4 years of experience in manual QA for web or SaaS products.
• Strong attention to detail with a solid understanding of UX/UI best practices.
• Experience testing complex user flows and edge cases.
• Basic understanding of:
  • Browser developer tools
  • APIs (request/response basics)
  • Mobile web testing
• Familiarity with QA and tracking tools (e.g., Notion, JIRA, Trello, plane.so).
• Clear written and verbal communication, especially when describing issues.
• Strong sense of ownership and accountability for quality.

Nice to have

• Interest in growing into a broader role with responsibility for coordination and delivery.
• Early experience helping track tasks, follow up on fixes, or support release planning.
• Familiarity with agile or sprint-based workflows.
• Experience working closely with designers and engineers throughout feature development.
• Exposure to consumer-facing products or subscription-based SaaS.
• Experience testing feature flags, experiments, or A/B tests.
