Job Description






Reports to: Manager – Quality Assurance



How You’ll Make an Impact




  • We are looking for a detail-oriented and methodical Associate – Quality Assurance to be a critical line of defense between development and users ensuring that every feature, fix, and release meets the quality bar.

  • You will contribute to designing and executing test plans, identifying and documenting defects, validating product features against requirements, and collaborating closely with the Software Engineering and Product Management teams to maintain the consistency, reliability, and performance of our products across every release cycle.



What You’ll Do



Test Planning & Execution:




  • Participate in the development and execute comprehensive test plans, test cases, and testing strategies aligned to product requirements and acceptance criteria

  • Perform manual and automated testing across functional, regression, integration, performance, and user acceptance testing (UAT) phases

  • Validate that features meet specified requirements, acceptance criteria, and user expectations prior to release

  • Conduct API testing to verify data integrity, endpoint behaviour, and system integrations using tools such as Postman or similar

  • Defect Management & Engineering Collaboration:

  • Identify, document, and track bugs and defects clearly in issue-tracking systems (e.g., Jira), including steps to reproduce, expected vs. actual results, and severity classification

  • Collaborate with Software Engineering and Product Management teams to reproduce issues, communicate findings, and verify bug fixes through regression testing

  • Review product requirements and specifications early in the development cycle to flag ambiguities and improve testability before development begins



Release Quality & Reliability:




  • Ensure consistency, reliability, and performance of the products across all release cycles, including web, mobile, and API layers

  • Conduct smoke testing and sanity checks on new builds to confirm stability before full test execution begins

  • Analyze test results and quality metrics, and communicate findings clearly to Software Engineering and Product Management teams



QA Documentation & Process Improvement:




  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date testing documentation, including test plans, test cases, test scripts, and test reports

  • Support the continuous improvement of testing frameworks, QA standards, and automation coverage across the product suite

  • Contribute to the development of SOPs and best practices.



What We’re Looking For



Professional & Technical Strengths:




  • Experience in software quality assurance and testing

  • Solid understanding of QA methodologies, software development life cycle (SDLC), and Agile/Scrum development processes

  • Proficiency with bug-tracking and test management tools (e.g., Jira, Bugzilla, TestRail)

  • Hands-on experience with API testing tools (e.g., Postman or Swagger), and basic understanding of RESTful APIs

  • Basic SQL skills to query databases, validate data integrity, and set up test data

  • Familiarity with test automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Pytest, or TestNG) and an appetite to grow automation skills

  • Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and how QA integrates into continuous integration and delivery workflows (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar).



Leadership & Interpersonal Strengths:




  • Ability to collaborate with multicultural and geographically distributed teams

  • High degree of autonomy and accountability (we operate within a hybrid work environment)

  • Strong attention to detail with a structured and methodical approach

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset, with the curiosity to investigate root causes rather than surface-level symptoms

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document bugs clearly and convey test outcomes to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

  • Proactive and self-driven, comfortable working in fast-moving environments where things evolve quickly.



Nice to Have:




  • Experience in a B2B or B2C technology, SaaS, fintech, or energy technology environment

  • Working knowledge of scripting or programming languages (e.g., Python, JavaScript, or Java) to support automation efforts

  • Familiarity with mobile testing (iOS/Android) and cross-browser/cross-device testing strategies

  • ISTQB Foundation Level certification or equivalent QA qualification

  • Fluency in French.
