Job description

TLN is hiring 2 independent contractors full-time, remote as Quality Assurance (QA) testers in the Philippines.

TLN builds SaaS products, and our QA team is the key to shipping them with confidence. We’re growing that team and need experienced manual QA testers who can hit the ground running, test web and mobile software carefully, and report bugs clearly.

What you’ll do

• Run manual test cases across TLN’s web-based SaaS products
• Test on desktop browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge), mobile web, and native iOS and Android apps
• Find, document and report defects with clear titles, steps to reproduce, expected vs actual results and screenshots
• Log and track bugs in our ticketing system (Linear)
• Test APIs using Postman
• Give clear written status updates to the QA team and engineering leads

What we’re looking for (required)

• Minimum 3 years of hands-on manual QA experience testing SaaS or web-based software (3 to 5 years preferred)
• Strong written English: clear, concise bug reports and updates
• Experience with a bug or issue tracker such as Jira, Linear or Azure DevOps
• Experience testing across browsers, mobile web, and iOS and Android apps
• Experience with API testing using Postman
• Your own devices: a computer plus iOS and Android phones
• A reliable internet connection and a suitable remote work setup
• Able to work 4 to 5 hours a day overlapping Eastern Time (roughly evening to early morning in the Philippines), with a flexible schedule around that overlap

Nice to have

• Using browser developer tools to capture console errors and network requests for bug reports
• Exposure to test automation tools (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress)
• Experience testing learning or education software (LMS, e-learning, course platforms)
• Backup equipment in case of power or internet interruption
• Nice to have: Experience using Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor as it relates to QA
• Software development experience: Java, PHP, NodeJS, Javascript, etc.

Why join TLN

• Full-time, independent contract roles directly with TLN
• Rate is ₱40k - ₱50k a month, depending on experience
• Fully remote, working with a team across Canadian time zones and beyond
• Meaningful work: QA is a high-priority function here
• Room to grow, with a possible path into first-level support and customer success
