• Sitemate has grown from 5 employees in 2018 to 150+, and we’re moving into the next stage of growth! We have a product that customers are strongly engaged with, and every month we get 1000s of new leads in our core/target regions with 0 cold calling and limited marketing spend (made possible by strong word-of-mouth and organic marketing efforts).

• Sitemate’s founders have diverse backgrounds - one coming from engineering on major infrastructure projects; the second coming from product and graphic design. This brings a unique perspective internally where we blend deep industry experience with a passion (obsession) for modern best practices in product design.

What is the working environment like at Sitemate?

• We are very transparent - monthly Allhands meetings provide the team with direct insight into team updates, customer stories, hiring plans and key metrics (NPS, Revenue, Financial Performance). During this Allhands meeting we also hear one ‘life story’ from one of our team each month - learning about different countries and cultures around the world.

• We place an extremely high value on your time - you won’t be spending your days wasting time on fighting internal systems, botched together spreadsheet processes or doing data entry.

• We use best in class systems that are seamlessly integrated to deliver our team the right information at the right time, allowing them to get their work done efficiently and to a very high standard.

• You will have a core and close team around you, but you will also be exposed to and working directly with multiple departments - engineering, product, design, marketing, sales and customer success.

• You will have a high degree of autonomy, as the focus is on outcomes and not hours. If you want to block off a few hours to run a personal errand or block off an hour to pick up the kids from school - no worries. No one will be monitoring your time.

• We are constantly working to minimise the number of group meetings - daily check ins are all done asynchronously (in your own time) each morning. But spontaneous 1:1s or small sessions are strongly encouraged!

What does Sitemate do, exactly?

• Sitemate builds best in class software products for the built world.

• Industrial companies operating in the built world are facing a number of mission critical challenges - changes in work behaviour as Generation Z start to enter the workforce as mobile first users of software, and the drastic shift away from traditional mining to renewable energy projects such as wind farms and solar farms.

• Our first product - Dashpivot, is a platform where industrial style companies streamline and standardise their processes in a new digital format. This new digital format enables them to complete and track work in the field on a mobile or tablet, and automate repetitive tasks and tracking through automated workflows and real-time analytics.

See some of our user reviews for Dashpivot here:

• G2 Crowd

• Trust Radius

What will I be doing on a day-to-day basis in this role?

• Help with team UAT and Regressions, as well as Exploratory testing

• Writing and updating test cases across products

• Writing and reviewing e2e test automation (possibly)

• A good team fit with a good mind for Testing. We want someone who actively seeks bugs and questions decisions. Working with a team between time zones will require them to have good communication skills and be a good team fit!

• We want someone proactive, willing to go out of their way to do the extra testing, as well as speak up where they see potential issues or shortcomings in our own processes

• Someone with at least a base-level understanding of Testing on web and mobile products

What will be the biggest challenges for me in this role?

• A lot of area to cover with learning the products, will need to have some crossover with other QAs to enable learning and questions.

• Needs to be open to learning new products and systems
