KOLSQUARE MISSION
------------------------------

Kolsquare is a Benefit Company, certified B-Corp in 2024.

Kolsquare exists to help you reach your greatest potential. And positively impact the world.

Influencer Marketing is today described as a revolution, a 30B$ market that is a major transformation in the media and digital world. It has also become a real gold mine, creating high hopes but also bringing its share of myths and legends. Everyone knows it works and can have an amazing impact on brand awareness or customer acquisition, but not everyone knows exactly how to do it. At Kolsquare, we firmly believe in this new media and are convinced that it's the best way for ideas, people and organisations to grow and reach their greatest potential. We also believe that it's a great way to create positive impacts for a better world. Our mission is therefore to give everyone access to the power of KOL Marketing.

YOUR ROLE
------------------------------

As a QA Engineer at Kolsquare, you will join our growing Quality team to act as a champion of excellence and a trusted partner across the organization. Working alongside our existing QA Engineer, you will help scale our testing infrastructure and transition toward an automation-first environment, ensuring our SaaS platform delivers a flawless experience as we scale.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Scale the Automation Pipeline: Collaborate with the QA team to design, implement, and expand our automated test suites (Frontend and API). You will play a key role in integrating these tests into our CI/CD pipelines to ensure rapid, high-quality deployments.

  • Collaborative Quality Strategy: Partner with your QA peer and the Tech team to refine "Definition of Done" criteria and optimize our bug-fixing processes, ensuring clear prioritization and efficient resolution.

  • Functional & Exploratory Testing: Work closely with Product and Tech during development to perform meticulous manual and exploratory testing. You’ll identify edge cases and usability gaps that automated scripts might miss.

  • Cross-Functional Triage: Serve as a technical bridge between Support, Product, and Engineering. You will help triage customer-reported issues, translating them into actionable technical tickets and providing visibility to all stakeholders.

  • Design & Usability Validation: Collaborate with Product Designers to validate that every new development respects our quality standards for visual consistency, responsiveness, and seamless user flows.

  • Defect Lifecycle Management: Manage the end-to-end bug reporting process, ensuring all issues are accurately documented with clear reproduction steps and tracked through to resolution.
