Software QA Specialist

About This Role

We are looking for a meticulous and experienced Software QA Specialist to join us on full-time basis and own the quality assurance function for our platform build. This is a critical role — you will be the last line of defense between development and deployment, ensuring every feature, integration, and module works flawlessly before it reaches production.

You will work closely with the development team, conducting structured testing across the full breadth of the platform - from user-facing workflows in the ATS and CRM modules through to payroll calculations, HR data integrity, and travel management logic. Your attention to detail, systematic approach, and ability to document and communicate defects clearly will directly impact the reliability of a platform that our entire business will depend on.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

▸ Design, develop, and execute comprehensive test plans and test cases across all platform modules: ATS, CRM, Payroll, HR Management, and Travel Management.

▸ Conduct end-to-end functional, regression, integration, and user acceptance testing (UAT) throughout the full development lifecycle.

▸ Identify, document, and track defects with precision - producing clear, actionable bug reports that enable the development team to reproduce and resolve issues efficiently.

▸ Perform API testing to validate integrations between platform modules and third-party services.

▸ Develop and maintain automated test scripts where applicable, contributing to a sustainable long-term QA framework.

▸ Validate data accuracy across complex workflows — particularly in payroll processing, HR records, and financial calculations where errors carry real-world consequences.

▸ Collaborate closely with the Full Stack Developer and stakeholders to understand feature requirements and translate them into thorough test coverage.

▸ Conduct performance and load testing to ensure the platform scales reliably under real-world usage.

▸ Maintain well-organised QA documentation including test plans, test results, and traceability matrices.

▸ Contribute to the establishment of QA standards, processes, and best practices as the platform matures.

REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

▸ 3-5 years of experience in software quality assurance, with a focus on web-based or SaaS platforms.

▸ Solid experience designing and executing test plans across functional, regression, integration, and end-to-end testing scenarios.

▸ Proficiency with QA and bug-tracking tools (e.g. JIRA, TestRail, Zephyr, or equivalent).

▸ Experience with API testing tools such as Postman or similar.

▸ Working knowledge of automated testing frameworks (e.g. Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or similar).

▸ Strong analytical and critical thinking skills - able to identify edge cases, failure points, and data inconsistencies others would miss.

▸ Exceptional written communication - clear, reproducible bug reports are a core expectation of this role.

▸ Understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and Agile/Scrum methodologies.

▸ Ability to test complex, multi-module platforms and track quality across numerous concurrent features.

HIGHLY ADVANTAGEOUS

▸ Previous experience testing ATS, CRM, Payroll, HR Management, Travel Management or similar softwares.

▸ Exposure to AI-generated or AI-assisted codebases and understanding of how to approach QA in that context.

▸ ISTQB certification or equivalent formal QA qualification.

▸ Experience with performance and load testing tools (e.g. JMeter, k6, or similar).

▸ Understanding of GDPR compliance considerations in HR and Payroll systems.

Please note that applications without relevant QA experience across multi-module platforms will not be progressed
