About Global Squirrels

Global Squirrels is an Employer of Record (EOR) platform and staffing services company that enables businesses to hire, pay, and manage talent across international borders — handling payroll, tax compliance, and legal complexity so our clients can focus on growth. We also offer specialized tech staffing services and are recognized as an approved contingent workforce supplier for Google. We're a fast-paced, lean team, which means every person here has real ownership and real impact.

About the Role

We're looking for a QA Tester to join our team and help ensure the reliability, functionality, and quality of the Global Squirrels platform. This is a hands-on role for someone who is proactive, eager to learn, and comfortable operating with a high degree of independence once ramped up. Because we move fast and ship often, this role includes availability for production deployments over weekends on a rotating or as-needed basis.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to grow quickly, take real ownership of quality across a live platform, and work closely with a lean, high-trust product team.

Key Responsibilities

Design, write, and execute manual and/or automated test cases for new features and existing functionality across the Global Squirrels platform

Perform functional, regression, integration, and smoke testing across web application(s)

Identify, document, and track bugs clearly and thoroughly using our issue-tracking tools

Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and other stakeholders to understand requirements and clarify acceptance criteria

Validate fixes and verify releases before and after deployment

Participate in and support production deployments, including weekend releases, to test and validate changes in real time

Proactively identify gaps in test coverage and suggest improvements to testing processes

Help build and maintain test documentation, test plans, and (where applicable) automated test scripts





Escalate critical issues quickly and communicate status clearly to the team

Take ownership of assigned testing areas with minimal oversight after the initial onboarding period

What We're Looking For

Prior experience in software testing/QA (manual and/or automated) — 2 years

Strong attention to detail and a genuine curiosity about how systems work and where they break A proactive, self-starter mindset — someone who asks questions early, then runs independently

Ability to ramp up quickly: The expectation is to operate independently within a few weeks of starting

Comfort working in a fast-paced, lean team workplace where priorities can shift and ownership matters

Willingness and availability to support production releases over weekends as needed

Strong written communication skills for clear bug reports and cross-team collaboration

Experience with bug tracking and test management tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, or similar)

Familiarity with basic QA concepts: test case design, regression testing, release validation, etc.

Nice to Have

Experience testing SaaS, HR tech, payroll, or fintech platforms

Exposure to automated testing tools/frameworks (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Postman/API testing, etc.)

Basic understanding of SQL for data validation

Experience working directly with onsite and remote team.

What Success Looks Like

Within the first few weeks, ramps up on the platform, our workflows, and tools with minimal repeated guidance

Becomes a trusted, independent owner of testing for assigned features/areas

Reliably shows up for and adds value during production deployments

Catches issues before they reach customers and communicates them clearly and fast

Takes initiative to improve testing coverage and processes over time.
