We're a small team inside Trans Perfect building a massive internal platform a low-code application builder that's powering how our entire company operates. It's ambitious, it's complex, and it's not "done." That's exactly why it's fun.

Think:

• Not just a bug-logging role
• You'll shape quality standards and help build testing infrastructure from the ground up
• Complex, data-driven interfaces that need thorough, thoughtful QA
• Enterprise-scale impact… without enterprise-level red tape

We operate more like a startup embedded inside a global company. We move fast, figure things out as we go, and need people who are excited to make sure what we build actually works—reliably, at scale, every time.

You won't just find bugs. You'll help define what "quality" means for this platform.

• Write, execute, and maintain manual and automated test cases for a drag-and-drop application builder
• Identify, document, and track bugs with clear, reproducible steps
• Collaborate closely with frontend engineers to catch issues early in the dev cycle
• Help build out regression test suites as features evolve
• Contribute to QA processes and documentation that grow with the team
• Participate in sprint planning and review to understand what's being shipped and what needs coverage

We're not looking for someone who just runs a checklist and closes tickets.

We're looking for someone who:

• Asks "what could go wrong here?" before a feature ships
• Is comfortable when specs are incomplete or evolving
• Can think from the user's perspective, not just the test plan
• Takes ownership of quality
• Communicates clearly with engineers, not just in Jira
• Wants a career in quality engineering, not just a job

If you've worked somewhere perfectly structured with locked-down processes: this will feel different. If you've ever found a bug no one else caught and felt genuinely good about it: you'll fit right in.

We don't expect you to know everything on day one. You should have a solid foundation in:

• Understanding of the software developer lifecycle (SDLC) and QA methodologies
• Experience writing test cases, test plans, and bug reports
• Familiarity with functional, regression, integration, and exploratory testing
• Comfort working in Agile/Scrum environments

• Bug tracking tools:
  Jira, Azure Dev Ops, or similar
• Basic understanding of browser developer tools for frontend debugging
• Familiarity with API testing concepts (Postman or similar is a plus)

• Exposure to test automation frameworks:
  Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or similar
• Basic scripting ability in JavaScript, Type Script, or Python
• Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and how automated tests fit in

We need QA engineers who care about UX, not just pass/fail.

• You notice when something works technically but feels broken to a user
• You think about edge cases that live in the gap between spec and reality
• You can communicate UX observations clearly to engineers and PMs

Let's be real:

• We're building something big with a small team
• The structure isn't perfect
• Priorities can shift
• We're figuring some things out as we go

But also:

• You’ll have real ownership over quality—not just a slice of a ticket queue
• Your findings will actually change what ships
• You won’t be stuck running the same regression suite forever
• You’ll help define how QA evolves on this platform

If you're looking for:

• A highly structured, perfectly documented test environment - this isn't it
• A chance to build quality practices from the ground…
