We're looking for a Product QA Engineer who cares deeply about product quality and user experience. This role is primarily focused
on manual testing. You'll be the person who looks at a feature not just to confirm it works, but to see what's missing, what feels
off, and what could be better.
You'll work closely with Product and Engineering to make sure new features are reliable, intuitive, and ready for users. Over
time, you'll also help improve our QA setup by bringing suitable test cases into automation.
We believe in fostering talent, evaluating all skill levels during the hiring process, and providing a clear path for growth.
Almedia is an equal opportunity employer. We embrace and celebrate diversity, and encourage individuals from all backgrounds to
apply.
