About the role
Project Description Join Hiredbuddy as an entry-level Quality Assurance Specialist. Work remotely to test and improve our software products, collaborate with a dynamic team, and grow your QA skills in a supportive environment. Full Description Hiredbuddy is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Quality Assurance Specialist to join our remote team. As an entry-level QA Specialist, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the reliability, functionality, and user experience of our software products. You will work closely with developers, product managers, and designers to identify issues, define test cases, and maintain high-quality standards across our platform. In this role, you will be responsible for executing manual test scripts, documenting defects, and verifying fixes. You will also participate in test planning, contribute to regression testing, and help improve our QA processes. We value a proactive mindset and a willingness to learn; you will receive mentorship from experienced QA engineers and have access to training resources to grow your skills. Your day-to-day activities will include analyzing requirements, creating test cases, performing functional, integration, and usability testing, and providing clear feedback to the development team. You will use industry-standard tools like Jira for bug tracking and test management, and you will learn to work with automation frameworks as you progress. We encourage curiosity and suggest improvements to our testing strategies to increase efficiency and coverage. At Hiredbuddy, we believe in a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement. You will have regular check-ins with your manager, participate in sprint reviews, and contribute to a supportive team environment. This is an excellent opportunity for someone starting their career in QA to gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced, remote-first company. We are looking for candidates who are eager to learn, have strong analytical skills, and pay close attention to detail. If you enjoy breaking things to make them better and are passionate about delivering quality software, we would love to hear from you.
Requirements:
- 0-2 years of experience in software quality assurance or related field
- Basic understanding of software development life cycle (SDLC) and QA methodologies
- Familiarity with bug tracking tools like Jira or similar
- Strong attention to detail and analytical thinking
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to work independently and manage time effectively in a remote environment
- Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript is a plus
- Experience with test automation tools (e.g., Selenium) is a bonus but not required
Benefits:
- Professional development stipend
- Collaborative and inclusive team culture
- Access to modern QA tools and resources
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
