Role Overview
🚀 About the organisation and the organisation
The organisation has 25 years of experience crafting UX‑first, often highly complex software. Our engineers pair forward‑thinking agile practices with an obsession for intuitive design, shipping products that feel effortless even when the logic underneath is anything but.
Alongside a handful of long‑standing third‑party clients, we’re scaling our own SaaS product—the organisation—at pace. You’ll join a smart, collaborative team that pushes each other to articulate and defend every architectural decision in pursuit of best‑in‑class software.
The organisation itself is on a mission to drag the tailor‑made travel industry into the 21st century. Our cloud‑native platform unifies sales, supplier contracting, dynamic pricing, and on‑trip operations—everything from the first quote to the traveller’s safe return.
The market is huge, the incumbents are slow, and we already have meaningful traction: roughly 35 customers and an accelerating sign‑up pace, a very healthy sales pipeline, and a roadmap brimming with genuinely novel features. With a fantastic existing team across engineering, product, customer success, marketing, and sales, we’re gearing up for hyper‑growth.
We’re now looking for a detail-driven QA Analyst who’s passionate about ensuring that what ships actually works—beautifully, consistently, and reliably.

🔍 Be the guardian of quality. You’ll make sure what we deliver not only meets requirements, but feels intuitive and robust in real-world use.
🧭 Think beyond the checklist. You’ll question assumptions, explore edge cases, and ensure the user experience holds up under pressure.
🤝 Collaborate widely. You’ll work closely with developers, product managers, and designers to spot issues early and deliver seamless releases.
🚀 Help us scale confidently. Your testing and feedback will shape our ability to release faster while maintaining exceptional stability and usability.
