Details:

We're looking for a proactive and experienced QA Tester to join our development team and help establish a strong testing practice from the ground up. This is a brand new position and you'll be joining a small, close-knit group of passionate professionals who care deeply about quality, performance, and progress.

As the first dedicated QA hire, you'll have the opportunity to shape how we approach testing -- introducing your own ideas, helping us refine our processes, and making a real difference in the reliability of our systems.

Key Responsibilities:

Design, write, and execute manual and (eventually) automated test cases for new and existing features. Work closely with developers and product stakeholders to understand requirements and identify test strategies early. Document, track, and manage defects throughout the development lifecycle. Bring structure to our testing -- proposing and implementing processes, tools, and best practices. Learn our niche, complex system quickly and begin contributing with meaningful test coverage early on. Help the team build a growing suite of repeatable, reliable test cases for core areas of the product. Be an advocate for quality in sprint planning, design reviews, and retrospectives.

Skills & Experience Required:

2-3+ years of hands-on QA experience in a software development environment. A self-starter who thrives in unstructured environments and can help build things from the ground up. A strong understanding of software testing best practices, defect management, and test design. Experience testing web-based platforms (functional, regression, exploratory testing). Ability to pick up complex systems quickly and spot edge cases others might miss. Clear, concise communicator who enjoys working with developers and sharing feedback. Bonus: experience with test automation frameworks or scripting.
