Job description

Location : UK-based, ideally near Exeter (Hybrid / Remote with occasional on-site collaboration)

Type : Full-time

Salary : Up to £60,000

Salary : Competitive + share options

We’re not looking for box-tickers. We’re looking for quality guardians - people who can’t stand broken flows, unclear edge cases, or “we’ll fix it later”.

You’ll thrive here if you’re :

• Relentlessly curious – you actively try to break things and love finding the one edge case everyone else missed.
• Product-minded – you think like a user, not just a tester.
• Ownership-driven – you see quality as your responsibility, not someone else’s problem.
• Comfortable with speed – shipping fast matters, but shipping well matters more.

If you’re after slow release cycles and rigid processes, this isn’t for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Owning product quality end-to-end across web and backend systems
• Own the full bug lifecycle in Jira.
• Designing and maintaining automated test suites (API + UI)
• Working closely with engineers to catch issues early
• Testing AI-driven features and complex workflows
• Improving QA processes as the product scales
• Acting as the final line of defence before features ship

Why Join

• Real ownership from day one
• Influence over how QA is done - no legacy baggage
• Share options alongside salary - build it, own it
• A small, senior team building something ambitious

👉 If broken UX keeps you up at night and you take pride in shipping rock-solid software - we want to hear from you.
