About the Position

We are seeking a Manual QA Tester to bring the ruckus every day to our little relationship-driven industry and learn the ins and outs of a SaaS startup.

You'll be crucial in maintaining the quality of our releases and work directly with the Product and Engineering teams.

Core Responsibilities

Who You Are

• Work Experience: 2 or more years of experience as a QA Tester (preferably in the SaaS/software space)
• High-Energy Multi-Tasker: You must be able to juggle multiple ongoing tickets and softwares while maintaining great energy and composure.
• Puzzle Solver: An analytical mind and excitement around solving problems.
• Empathetic: A customer first mentality and a desire to understand the true use cases of each ticket you're testing.
• Succinct: Ability to explain issues in a concise yet easy-to-understand manner, as well as document errors after troubleshooting
• Tech-Savvy Problem Solver: A familiarity with the Internet, SaaS, and the variety of browsers and devices available helps to dig into sometimes complex issues.

• Software Experience: Bug tracking tools and familiarity with automated testing tools is a must! We use Linear.
• Adaptability: This is a fast moving startup, our priorities, team structure, goals, and everything in between can change at a moment's notice. You need to be someone who thrives in an environment with less structure
• Tenacity: We are a small but mighty team pushing a boulder up a hill. We need every team member to be the strongest link. There will be failures, but we keep getting back up
• Bonus! An understanding of Agile methodologies + ability to build automated test cases through a QA automation tool
