Cavallo is seeking a QA Analyst to join our high-performing development team. As a QA Analyst, you’ll play a hands-on role in ensuring the quality, reliability, and usability of our cloud and on-premises software applications. You’ll work closely with developers, product owners, and support teams to identify issues before they impact users and champion the customer experience through exploratory and functional testing.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys digging into software, asking tough questions, and being a vital part of a team that values craftsmanship and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Do:

• Perform manual and exploratory testing of new features, existing functionality, and customer-driven customizations across web, desktop, and mobile applications

• Verify outcomes across UI, backend, and data layers—including SQL databases, REST endpoints, and file exports
• Provide clear, actionable bug reports and test feedback through tools like Jira and Confluence
• Contribute to ongoing test planning including test case design, maintenance, and risk-based prioritization
• Support regression, functional, usability, and integration testing
• Participate in scrum ceremonies, bringing a QA perspective to story refinement and sprint planning
• Analyze feature documentation to identify test impact and coverage gaps
• Help improve our internal QA processes by identifying inefficiencies and recommending tools or practices
• Optionally assist with light automation or test tooling, if you’re interested and experienced
  

What You Bring:

• 2+ years of experience in a QA or software testing role (ERP or B2B SaaS experience a plus)
• A solid understanding of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and Agile principles
• Working knowledge of SQL and comfort analyzing backend data to validate functionality
• Experience with QA and project management tools such as Jira
• An analytical mindset and a deep curiosity—you enjoy asking “what if?” and uncovering edge cases
• Strong communication skills—both written and verbal—you can clearly describe what you tested, what you found, and why it matters
• Collaborative energy—you enjoy partnering with devs, PMs, and support to ship great features
• Self-motivation, reliability, and a drive for quality—you follow up on loose ends and own your work

Why should you apply?

• Become a member of a #PeopleFirst organization that believes in instilling excellence in the people who make up our team
• Create exciting, innovative solutions for a fast-growing software development company
• Work with collaborative colleagues who seek out and value each other’s input and feedback
• Strong leadership who believes in creating enormous and measurable value for our Customers
