Are you an experienced Software QA Engineer ready to take on greater ownership beyond testing?

At Human Nature, we're looking for a Senior Software QA Engineer who can help turn business requirements into reliable, well-tested systems while leading QA activities, coordinating with stakeholders, and guiding junior team members.

This is an opportunity to be involved in the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), from understanding business needs and planning system improvements to testing, implementation, and post-launch support.

If you enjoy solving problems, working with different teams, and making sure technology delivers real value to its users, we'd love to hear from you.

About Human Nature

Human Nature is one of the Philippines' leading brands of genuinely natural beauty, personal care, and home care products.

But we're more than a personal care company.

We are a purpose-driven social enterprise guided by three core advocacies: Pro-Philippines, Pro-Poor, and Pro-Environment.

Through our proudly Philippine-made products and responsible business practices, we aim to create opportunities for Filipino communities, support sustainable livelihoods, and show how businesses can make a meaningful difference.

What You'll Do

As our Senior Software QA Engineer, you will take an active role in ensuring that software projects are properly planned, tested, documented, and implemented.

You will work closely with the Head of IT, developers, project requestors, and end users to keep projects moving while ensuring that quality standards and business requirements are met.

• Participate in systems analysis, process design, mock-up preparation, and technical discussions.
• Prepare project timelines, Gantt charts, and progress updates to help ensure timely delivery.
• Identify potential project risks, testing concerns, and implementation issues, and recommend appropriate solutions.

Documentation & System Implementation

• Prepare process flowcharts, test cases, system documentation, and user and developer guidelines.
• Present proposed system solutions and completed functionalities to requestors and stakeholders.
• Coordinate user training, system rollout, implementation, and acceptance.
• Work with developers and technical support teams to address post-implementation concerns.
• Conduct post-implementation evaluations to identify opportunities for system improvement.

Team Leadership & Collaboration

• Guide and oversee Junior QA Engineers in their daily tasks, testing activities, and project assignments.
• Review team deliverables, monitor progress, and help address blockers.
• Promote consistent QA practices and maintain clear communication across project teams.
• Collaborate closely with the Head of IT to ensure project objectives and quality standards are achieved.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who combines strong technical QA knowledge with good project coordination skills, attention to detail, and the confidence to work with different stakeholders.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field.
• At least 3 years of relevant experience in software testing, requirements gathering, and technical documentation.
