QA Manual Tester

Be the person who makes sure our products actually work for the people who use them.

Daemon Ventures is a US technology company that builds and runs internet businesses with a very small team and heavy use of AI. We are hiring a full-time QA tester to see our products through our customers' eyes. You will use our live products the way a real customer would, every day, and make sure that nothing broken, confusing or inconsistent goes unnoticed.

What you'll do

- Every day, go through our live products as a new customer would: sign up with a real email address, check that the emails arrive, use the core features, pay, cancel and ask for help. Do this on your phone and on a computer.

- Test new products and significant changes before and after they go live.

- Report what you find clearly:

- the steps to reproduce it

- what you expected

- what actually happened

- a screenshot or screen recording

- how much it matters to a customer

- Re-test every fix, and mark it done only when it really works.

- Notice what nobody asked you to check: a price that doesn't match, an email that lands in spam, a page that's confusing on a small screen.

- Suggest what should be checked automatically, so the same problem is caught immediately next time.

Who you are

- Meticulous and persistent. You finish every flow end to end, including the steps after the first screen.

- A clear writer in English. Anyone can reproduce your report without asking you a question.

- Reliable. You keep a daily rhythm without being chased, and you report the real state, including "I couldn't finish this, and here's why."

- Good judgment about what matters. You can tell a bug that loses customers from a cosmetic one.

- Comfortable working remotely, independently and alongside AI. Much of our building and operations is automated, and your reports go straight into that work.

Details

- Full-time and remote, within India. You would be engaged as an independent contractor, paid monthly.

- Experience: 1–3 years of manual testing of web or mobile products.

- Helpful: browser developer tools, mobile testing and a bug tracker.

- Pluses, not requirements: API testing (e.g. Postman), basic SQL, or some exposure to test automation.

- Pay: ₹6–9 LPA, based on experience.

- Process:

1. A short application that includes a practical test (about 30–45 minutes).

2. A conversation or two.

3. A first month working together on the real work.

To apply: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfiuw46fmKgdxHJgrheYJi9R2xDVFvvzQNnnvL2vzJSCUA3_Q/viewform

The form includes the practical test. Please don't send a CV alone; the test is how we'll get to know you.

Senior QA Engineer

Make quality part of the engineering system.

AbleCredit builds software for complex enterprise workflows where AI, APIs, business rules, human decisions, and real-world operations have to work together reliably. We care about building products that work in production - not just in demos. We're looking for a senior quality engineer who can move quality upstream: from release-time testing to better automation, contracts, observability, and engineering practices.

What You'll Own?

• Own quality strategy across web, mobile, backend APIs, integrations, and end-to-end workflows.

• Design and maintain automated regression suites for critical customer journeys.

• Build API, integration, contract, and workflow tests that catch failures before production.

• Partner with engineering and product teams during design - not only after development is complete.

• Define release readiness, risk-based testing, and production validation practices.

• Investigate escaped defects, identify systemic causes, and drive preventive improvements.

• Improve test data, environments, tooling, and CI integration so teams can ship confidently.

What We're Looking For?

• 5+ years in software quality engineering or test automation.

• Strong API and backend testing experience, including asynchronous and integration-heavy systems.

• Experience testing mobile and web applications and understanding client/ server failure modes.

• Ability to write automation in JavaScript/ TypeScript, Python, Java, or a similar language.

• Strong debugging skills across logs, network requests, databases, and distributed services.

• Experience with CI/CD and integrating automated tests into release pipelines.

• A product mindset: prioritize risk and customer impact rather than maximizing test-case counts.

Nice to Have

• Performance, load, security, or reliability testing.

• Experience with Playwright, Cypress, Appium, Postman/ Newman, k6, or similar tooling.

• Experience with event-driven systems, queues, webhooks, and long running workflows.

• Experience testing AI-assisted or non-deterministic product behavior.

How We Think About Quality?

Quality is an engineering responsibility. Automation should create confidence, not dashboards. A production escape should improve the system that allowed it to happen. The goal is simple: ship quickly without making customers our test environment.

• Process Improvement: Find the root causes of recurring bugs and improve QA processes, tools and documentation.
• Communication: Keep management updated on release quality, risks and issues found.
• AI-Assisted Testing: Use AI tools to generate test cases and speed up testing, while reviewing the output carefully.

What We're Looking For

• Experience: 3–5 years in software QA, with strong experience testing mobile apps.
• Ownership: Proven experience owning QA for releases and reducing QA cycles or bug
• leakage.
• Leadership: Experience guiding or mentoring junior QA engineers.
• Testing Expertise: Strong knowledge of test planning, functional, regression,
• smoke/sanity testing and the bug life cycle.
• QA Tools: Hands-on experience with QA tools like BrowserStack, Appium and bug
• trackers such as Jira, and the judgment to pick the right tool for the job.
• AI Tools: Experience or strong interest in using AI tools for testing.
• Attention to Detail: You notice when a price, image, spacing or button looks off.
• Communication: Clear written and spoken English for reports, updates and working with developers and management.

Bonus Points

• Experience testing Shopify or e-commerce apps.
• Experience with test automation (Appium, Playwright or similar) or API testing (e.g.

• Layout consistency
• Alignment, spacing, typography, and colors
• Check if the UI is:
• Clean and intuitive
• Not overly complex or cluttered
• Easy for users to understand and navigate
• Report UI inconsistencies across screens, devices, or browsers.

• User flows
• Interactions and feedback
• Ensure the product feels natural, fast, and easy to use.
• Suggest improvements to enhance usability and user satisfaction.

5. Automation Testing Awareness

• understanding of automation testing concepts.
• Familiarity with common automation tools such as
• Selenium
• Cypress
• Playwright
• Postman (for API testing)
• Ability to understand where automation fits into the testing lifecycle.

6. Code Awareness (Secondary)

• Have a basic understanding of code and system behavior.
• Ability to:
• Read logs or error messages
• Understand where issues might originate
• Direct code-level testing is not mandatory, but awareness is a plus.
