POSITION INFO:
As part of a distributed development team, you’ll play a key role in ensuring  products are reliable, stable, and high-performing before they reach customers around the globe.

• Maintain and evolve test documentation and DevOps test plans

Required experience and skill set:

• 2–5+ years’ experience in software testing or quality assurance
• Solid knowledge of QA methodologies, tools, and best practices
• Hands-on experience with test case management and bug tracking (Azure DevOps experience a plus)
• Exposure to automation frameworks (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or similar) — no strong preference, as long as you can deliver results
• Familiarity with Microsoft 365 and Outlook (must be comfortable using and learning these systems)
• Excellent communication skills and sharp attention to detail
• Comfortable working in a distributed, collaborative environment

What's in it for you!

• Be part of a global leader with a relaxed yet professional culture
• Work with modern tools and a forward-thinking, supportive team
• Shape QA in a company where quality is valued from the ground up
• Enjoy autonomy, and real opportunities for growth
• Join at a pivotal time as the company expands their South African operations
