Trusted by thousands of organisations worldwide, the company delivers cutting-edge, centrally managed email signature solutions. With a rapidly expanding client base, head quartered in New Zealand, they are growing their South Africa team and are on the hunt for a skilled Quality Assurance (QA) Specialist to champion software excellence and help shape products trusted by businesses everywhere.
As part of a distributed development team, you'll play a key role in ensuring products are reliable, stable, and high-performing before they reach customers around the globe. This is a hands-on QA role where you'll help shape the testing practice from the ground up -- combining manual testing, test planning in Azure DevOps, and setting up the first automation framework.
Role:

• Design and execute test plans for new features and product updates using Azure DevOps
• Carry out manual and exploratory testing, documenting real-world scenarios
• Establish and maintain an automation framework (tool choice flexible - Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or similar)
• Collaborate with developers, product managers, and support teams to spot defects and edge cases early
• Maintain and evolve test documentation and DevOps test plans
• Contribute to building a mature QA practice, incorporating CI/CD tools, API testing, and performance testing over time
• Identify opportunities to improve QA processes, tools, and workflows
• Drive product quality at every stage of the sprint lifecycle

Required experience and skill set:

• 2-5+ years' experience in software testing or quality assurance
• Solid knowledge of QA methodologies, tools, and best practices
• Hands-on experience with test case management and bug tracking (Azure DevOps experience a plus)
• Exposure to automation frameworks (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or similar) -- no strong preference, as long as you can deliver results
• Familiarity with Microsoft 365 and Outlook (must be comfortable using and learning these systems)
• Excellent communication skills and sharp attention to detail
• Comfortable working in a distributed, collaborative environment

What's in it for you!

• Be part of a global leader with a relaxed yet professional culture
• Work with modern tools and a forward-thinking, supportive team
• Shape QA in a company where quality is valued from the ground up
• Enjoy autonomy, and real opportunities for growth
• Join at a pivotal time as the company expands their South African operations
