Why this role We ship fast with a lean team, and quality can't be an afterthought. You'll be the person who catches what everyone else misses—owning QA end to end, starting hands-on manual and growing into automation as we scale. No red tape. No babysitting a backlog. You find it, you own it, you make the product better.

What you'll do

- Manually test our web apps (frontend + APIs) like a demanding user
- Write and maintain clear test cases, test plans, and bug reports
- Reproduce, track, and verify fixes directly with the dev team
- Own QA in the release process so we ship fast and clean
- Grow into building automated test suites (E2E, regression) as we scale

You need

- 2–3+ years in QA / software testing
- Strong manual testing skills and razor-sharp attention to detail
- Ability to write bug reports a developer can act on immediately
- Basic API testing (Postman) and comfort reading logs
- Fluent, precise written English

Nice to have

- Hands-on with an automation tool (Playwright, Cypress, Selenium)
- Python or JavaScript basics
- Exposure to CI/CD, MongoDB, or AWS
- You use AI tools to test and debug faster





Compensation & growth — read this carefully We pay for impact and scale fast:

- Start: ~$700 USD/month (₹55,000–65,000)
- Fast track: prove out + start owning automation → $1,000 USD/month
- Trajectory: strong performers scale toward $1,200–$1,500 USD/month as they own automation and release quality
- Every paid trial, flexible schedule, paid vacation, merit over tenure

If you're good, you won't sit at the entry number for long. How to apply — read before you click We receive a high volume of applications and screen with our own internal tooling. Generic, copy-paste applications get filtered out instantly. To be considered, your application MUST include:

- A solid, specific resume — real testing experience, real impact, no fluff
- Proof of work: sample test cases, bug reports, test plans, or a GitHub/portfolio if you automate
- One line on the nastiest bug you ever caught and how you found it
- No proof of work, no substance? Please apply elsewhere—we won't review it. Bring the goods and you'll hear from us fast.
