About the role

  • Work closely with Product Managers and Engineers to identify gaps in requirements, clarify acceptance criteria, and challenge unclear assumptions.
  • Take ownership of testing as the current bottleneck, ensuring features are thoroughly tested before release.
  • Design and execute high-quality test scenarios (functional, regression, exploratory, and end-to-end), with a strong focus on edge cases and risk areas.
  • Write test cases using BDD principles (Given / When / Then) so they are automation-ready in the future.
  • Act as a quality advocate, owning test execution, bug reporting, and clear communication of risks and test outcomes.
  • Validate fixes, collaborate with engineers on root-cause analysis, and ensure issues are fully resolved.
  • Contribute to improving QA processes, test strategies, and release quality standards.
  • Once the manual testing bottleneck is resolved, gradually become involved in test automation efforts, working with engineers to design and implement automated tests.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience as a Senior QA Engineer.
  • Strong, hands-on experience in testing for complex products.
  • Deep understanding of BDD concepts, with experience designing test cases in Given / When / Then format.
  • Proven ability to identify product risks and design targeted, risk-based testing strategies.
  • Experience working closely with PMs and Engineers in fast-moving environments.
  • Comfortable handling high workload and ownership-driven responsibility.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to dig into issues and identify root causes.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain testing outcomes, risks, and quality concerns to engineers, PMs, and stakeholders.
  • Basic to intermediate experience querying databases (e.g. SQL) to support testing and investigation is a plus.
  • Experience with automation tools (Playwright, Cypress, Cucumber, Appium, etc.) is a strong plus, but not required.
Benefits
  • Flexible hybrid working environment, with 3 days in the office.
  • A generous personal development budget of $500 per annum
  • Learn from some of the best engineers and creatives, joining a diverse team
  • Become an owner, with shares (equity) in the company, if Heidi wins, we all win
