Overview

Job Description
Who you are
You have a strong software development background and are an expert at testing software — you excel at identifying, documenting, and prioritizing bugs while communicating effectively with various audiences. You thrive in collaborative environments and can work both independently and as part of a team. Your problem-solving skills are top-notch, and you have a growth mindset that aligns with Whatnot's values.

As a QA Engineer at Whatnot, you will own the testing process from discovery to resolution — your role will involve collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure that software meets the highest quality standards. You will be responsible for identifying and documenting bugs, as well as prioritizing them based on their impact on the user experience. Your ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders will be crucial in this role.
You will also participate in the development process, providing feedback on features and functionality to ensure that they align with user needs and expectations. Your insights will help shape the future of our platform as we continue to innovate and redefine e-commerce. You will be part of a team that values low ego and a collaborative spirit, working together to build a marketplace that brings people together through commerce.
