About This Role

As a QA Specialist, you'll be the gatekeeper of quality for new features, dynamic dashboards, and data pipelines.

After documenting any bugs found, you'll collaborate with developers via Slack to ensure quick resolution before the next release.

  • Comfortable in a fast-paced startup culture, able to prioritize testing schedules and adapt to evolving requirements.
