QA Engineer

We are recruiting on behalf of a high-growth digital platform business seeking a QA Engineer with strong manual and exploratory testing experience. This is an opportunity to join a lean, internationally distributed team building transaction-heavy products used across multiple markets.

The successful candidate will work closely with engineering to improve release quality, identify issues early, and strengthen testing practices across customer-facing journeys, integrations, and internal tooling.

The role

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys finding issues before they reach users, thrives in a fast-moving environment, and takes ownership of testing across new features and existing functionality. You will play a key part in validating user flows, investigating edge cases, documenting defects clearly, and supporting a reliable release process.

Key responsibilities

• Test end-to-end transactional journeys, integration points, and customer-facing features across different regions and environments

QA process & reporting

• Produce clear, structured bug reports with replication steps, testing context, and expected versus actual outcomes
