At Keycafe, we’re looking for a QA Engineer who thrives on digging into complex systems, ensuring reliability across both software and hardware, and acting as the critical safeguard for product stability. This isn’t just about running tests — it’s about owning the quality of a global IoT platform used in mission-critical operations every day. You’ll support our software team, but also roll up your sleeves at our Vancouver office to test SmartBox hardware in real-world conditions.
This is your opportunity to have measurable impact across our entire product stack, from cloud software to IoT devices deployed worldwide.
What You’ll Do
- Own quality assurance across both software and hardware, ensuring our SmartBox systems are bulletproof in production.
- Design, write, and maintain automated and manual test cases for web apps, APIs, and embedded systems.
- Reproduce and verify bugs in staging and production, then drive resolution with developers.
- Run real-world tests on SmartBoxes and hardware components in our Vancouver office, simulating customer environments.
- Investigate difficult issues involving hardware, networking, or connectivity.
- Analyze logs and telemetry to troubleshoot user-reported problems.
- Continuously improve QA processes to accelerate development cycles without compromising reliability.
Why Join Keycafe
- Mission-critical role: You’ll be the last line of defense before features and hardware reach customers.
- Hands-on impact: Test equipment in real-world conditions, not just in theory.
- Global product: Our SmartBox is trusted by customers in 30+ countries across industries from hospitality to logistics.
