Job description
We’re hiring a motivated, self-starting Software Quality Assurance Engineer to be the first internal QA resource at OnTheClock, a growing SaaS company focused on time tracking, scheduling, and embedded payroll services for small and mid-sized businesses. You’ll ensure product quality across our web and mobile apps, while helping us build out (and own) our QA processes and best practices.
At OnTheClock, we’re rapidly expanding the tools we offer to help small businesses successfully lead their teams. Our mission is to reach one million users, and we need your expertise to help us achieve it.

You’ll be embedded across multiple agile development teams (internal and external), owning the “QA” phase of each story or ticket, performing manual QA, assisting in regression and release testing, and managing beta test workflows.
This is a high-ownership role ideal for someone who wants to learn and grow, and lead in defining how QA is done at OnTheClock.
