About The Role
We’re looking for a Software Quality Engineer who loves to break things—on purpose. You’ll be the critical bridge between Product, Engineering, and our users. Your job isn’t just to find bugs, but to understand business requirements deeply and ensure we’re building the right thing the right way.
You’ll work closely with Product Managers and Engineers from day one, influencing test strategies, user flows, and even feature design. This is not a back-office testing role—it’s a product quality champion role.
We value mindset over just tools: if you think like a user, challenge assumptions, and care deeply about the user experience, we want you on our team.
