Job description

QA Analyst position available in Johannesburg.

We’re hiring a seasoned QA Analyst to help lead quality efforts for an established tech environment based in Sandton. This is a hybrid role – you’ll need to be comfortable balancing remote work with time in-office when needed.

Salary: R41 000 – R46 000 per month.

What you’ll do:

• Lead the testing effort from planning to execution across functional, integration, regression, performance, and security testing.
• Design smart test strategies that align with business goals and risk areas – not just ticking boxes.
• Collaborate closely with developers, project managers, and stakeholders to embed quality into every stage of development.
• Own defect management – log, track, and push for resolution. You’ll spot trends and help prevent recurring issues.
• Mentor junior testers, offering guidance, training, and support where needed.
• Build and maintain automation that adds real value – not just coverage for coverage’s sake.
• Drive process improvements across the QA function and advocate for smarter, more efficient testing.
• Contribute to risk assessments to make sure releases are sound, stable, and don’t surprise anyone.
• Keep learning and bring fresh ideas to the table – from tools to testing techniques.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has at least 5 years of QA experience in a software development environment
• Holds a minimum ISTQB certification
• Understands how to test properly – and how to explain the value of testing to non-testers
• Has hands-on experience with test automation and frameworks
• Can take initiative, work independently, and lead by example
• Communicates clearly and collaborates easily with technical and non-technical teams

What success looks like:

• Fewer bugs in production
• Smart test automation, not just more of it
• Clear, insightful feedback for dev teams
• Fast, efficient test cycles
• Junior team members learning and growing under your guidance
• A reputation as someone who adds value at every stage of development
