QA Automation Tester

About this role

BIS Safety Software is a SaaS company on a mission to change how organizations manage safety, learning, and compliance - and the team behind that mission matters just as much as the product. We are expanding our team and are looking to add a thoughtful, detail-oriented Software Tester who is passionate about software quality and enjoys blending both manual and automated testing.

About the role:
This role is a key part of our evolution from primarily manual testing toward a more automation-focused QA process. You’ll play a hands-on role in ensuring the quality of our releases-owning manual testing for new features while actively contributing to our growing automation framework.
You’ll work closely with developers and the QA team to understand product workflows, uncover edge cases, and help us continuously improve how we test. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys digging into the details but is also excited to build toward a more scalable, automated future.
