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.

Role:

Design and execute test plans for new features and product updates using Azure DevOps
Carry out manual and exploratory testing, documenting real-world scenarios
Establish and maintain an automation framework (tool choice flexible – Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or similar)
Collaborate with developers, product managers, and support teams to spot defects and edge cases early
Maintain and evolve test documentation and DevOps test plans
Contribute to building a mature QA practice, incorporating CI/CD tools, API testing, and performance testing over time
Identify opportunities to improve QA processes, tools, and workflows
Drive product quality at every stage of the sprint lifecycle

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
