What the job involves
- Reports to: VP of Engineering

- This role focuses primarily on manual, exploratory, and context-driven testing. You will take a user-focused mindset, challenging assumptions, assessing risk, and ensuring quality is baked into the process from feature design to release
- Own Product Quality: Take end-to-end responsibility for quality, from the initial design phase through to production release
- Strategic Manual Testing: Design, plan, and execute thorough exploratory tests across our web application, going beyond predefined cases to find critical edge cases
- Collaborative Design: Actively participate in product discussions, challenging design and implementation decisions to uphold high standards
- Risk Communication: Identify and communicate technical and UX risks clearly and constructively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Data-Informed Testing: Use logs, production issues, and usage patterns to guide your testing efforts and identify where the biggest risks lie
- Voice of the User: Ensure every release supports a seamless customer experience by spotting usability issues and providing actionable UI/UX feedback
- Process Evolution: Help define and refine QA processes and documentation as our engineering team continues to scale
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Recruiting staff and managing candidate relationships is an essential aspect of scaling and maintaining a workforce, but the process has become convoluted and time-consuming. Companies must conduct repetitive admin tasks across outreach channels, applicant tracking systems, and other software tools, leaving them with less time to focus on scaling and increasing revenues.
SourceWhale provides a platform that automates the daily recruiting activities for teams, leveraging AI to automate repetitive admin tasks, manage existing workforces, and find pipeline insights. The company develops two core categories of tools - in-house solutions for recruitment, and solutions for staffing firms.
There are many existing tools and outreach platforms that tackle specific inefficiencies within the recruitment process, but the smart thing about SourceWhale is the all-in-one integrated approach. The company ultimately aims to provide a means for all existing recruitment tools to be used together without friction, whilst providing AI-driven automation and analytics to further improve pipeline efficiencies.
