About the role

You’ve got a head for processes and an eye for detail, and you love being the first to test new features in the wild. As a member of komoot’s Quality Assurance team, you'll play a key role in delivering new, bug-free features to our users worldwide. We work in cross-functional squads, so you’ll work with a range of people from product managers and designers to developers and data analysts to test and bring new features into the world. You’ll help shape our quality practices with the rest of the QA team.

Ready for your next adventure?

What you will do

• Work with product managers and designers in the discovery phase to refine features, contribute to requirements, and write test cases
• Provide test feedback and pair up with developers to test the features throughout the development process

• You’ll join an international and fully remote team spread across Europe with a common mission - to inspire great adventures, making them accessible to all.
• We are a tech company with little organizational overhead focusing on ownership and responsibility instead of micro-management and hierarchies.
• You get 38 days of annual leaves (including public holidays, which vary by country)
• This is a remote role in a fully remote team. You are free to work from anywhere that lies between the time zones UTC-1 and UTC+3. Beach? The mountains? Or a co-working space (covered by us)?
