Job description

Role overview

Own product quality as a disciplined part of product development for a growing two-sided marketplace. This role combines senior QA judgment with product ownership: you will define what “done” means, validate the workflows where trust and money are involved, manage defects, make release decisions, and increasingly shape priorities and the backlog.

Responsibilities

• Write acceptance criteria and identify edge cases before engineering work begins.
• Test critical workflows involving campaigns, matching, delivery, revisions, and payments across both user groups.
• Reproduce and prioritize bugs according to real user impact, keeping the fix queue accurate and actionable.
• Own release readiness, including checklists and regression coverage that make launch decisions predictable.
• Partner with design and engineering to turn customer friction and recurring issues into clear specifications and priorities.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of experience in QA, product ownership, or a closely related hybrid role.
• Senior judgment developed either by moving from defect finding into product decisions or by maintaining strong testing discipline as a product owner.
• A systematic approach to states, permissions, currencies, failure conditions, and network interruptions.
• Clear written communication for specifications, acceptance criteria, and bug reports.
• Fluency in English for the working environment.

Nice to have

• Experience with marketplaces, payments, or other two-sided products.
• Hands-on test automation experience or enough SQL knowledge to investigate questions independently.
• Portuguese or Spanish language skills.

Benefits and work setup

• Hybrid work with Portugal preferred, while remote work is also supported.
• Meaningful equity and ownership of problems from discovery through delivery.
• Open decision-making with direct involvement from the people doing the work.
• Annual learning and development funding.
• Paid vacation that employees are expected to use.
