About the Role 

As a QA Engineer (Manual QA) at TRACT, you’ll play a key role in ensuring our insights platform is reliable, intuitive, and trusted by customers who depend on high-quality sustainability data. You will primarily focus on manual testing across web workflows, integrations, and data-driven features, working closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer-facing teams to validate requirements, catch issues early, and support smooth releases.
You’ll help strengthen our quality practices by building repeatable test coverage, improving test documentation, and bringing a thoughtful, user-centric testing mindset to everything we ship. 

About You 

• You have a bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or equivalent education. 

• You have at least 2+ years of experience as a QA Engineer, with a strong emphasis on manual testing of web applications and/or data-driven products. 

• You’re confident in designing test plans, test cases, and exploratory testing charters that balance coverage and speed.
