Junior QA Tester

About the Role

Careerscape is recruiting on behalf of our client, a growing SaaS company, for a Junior QA Tester to join their product quality team on a fully remote basis. This is a hands-on entry point into software quality assurance, ideal for someone who is naturally curious, detail-oriented, and wants to build a long-term career in tech. You will spend your days clicking through features, breaking things on purpose, and writing bug reports that developers actually enjoy reading.

Day to day, you will work closely with engineers and product managers to test new features, verify fixes, and keep an eye on the overall health of the product before it reaches customers. The best fits are people who love finding the edge case nobody thought of, communicate clearly in writing, and want mentorship toward test automation and scripting over time. No prior QA job is required, just curiosity, patience, and a sharp eye for detail.

Key Responsibilities

  • Execute manual test cases across web and mobile builds before releases
  • Write clear, reproducible bug reports with steps, screenshots, and expected versus actual results
  • Perform exploratory testing to uncover issues outside scripted test cases
  • Track and verify bug fixes through the issue tracking system
  • Collaborate with developers and product managers to clarify requirements and edge cases
  • Maintain and update existing test case documentation
  • Participate in daily standups and sprint planning as part of the QA function
  • Assist with regression testing before each release cycle
  • Flag usability and UX concerns discovered during testing
  • Learn and gradually contribute to automated test scripts alongside senior QA engineers

Requirements

  • 0 to 2 years of experience in software testing or a related technical role
  • Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to problem solving
  • Clear written communication skills for documenting bugs and test results
  • Basic understanding of the software development lifecycle
  • Comfort working with issue tracking tools such as JIRA or similar
  • Ability to work independently in a remote, distributed team environment
  • Familiarity with web and mobile applications from a user perspective
  • Interest in growing into test automation and scripting over time
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience preferred but not required

Benefits & Perks

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401k plan with company match
  • Generous paid time off and company holidays
  • Fully remote work with flexible scheduling
  • Home office stipend for remote equipment
  • Paid parental leave
  • Professional development and training budget for QA and automation certifications
  • Mentorship program pairing junior testers with senior QA engineers
  • Annual company retreat and virtual team-building events
  • Employee assistance program
