QA Engineer at Salt South Africa

As a Quality Engineer, you will lead the testing efforts for two lean, agile engineering teams. The teams are working on highly-available, resilient systems that more than 1 million users and 60,000 merchants across the country have come to depend on daily.

As a QE you will be responsible for planning and implementing strategies for quality management and testing. Our client is in a high growth phase and it is of the utmost importance that we maintain the faith placed in us by our user and merchant bases by releasing safe, secure, and easy-to-use applications.
You will be an enabler for the teams you work with and will, ultimately, be responsible for delivering stuff that works. We value a get-things-done approach. You will have the autonomy to choose and implement tools and frameworks that best allow you to solve the problems at hand.

Our Culture
We value openness, psychological-safety and proactiveness. You will have plenty of opportunities to learn and grow with us. We have always maintained that having fewer, highly skilled and invested engineers delivers stronger results than would be delivered by bigger teams. You will join a small, highly-leveraged technical team that has buy-in and autonomy to solve problems using whatever tools and methodologies are fit for purpose.
