Manual QA Engineer

At TRACT, we are building a more sustainable and resilient food and agriculture industry. Our mission? To remove the burden of data management and resolve the debate on methodology so companies can drive impact. With our SaaS platform, we empower organizations to focus their resources on making a real impact while driving positive change in the industry.

We’re a diverse and passionate team of about 40, committed to creating a sustainable impact and technological innovation. We believe in the power of collaboration and leverage our collective expertise to tackle complex challenges and drive meaningful change. Our cultural heartbeat & business decisions are shaped by our core values: ‘Accept the challenge,’ ‘Commit to learn,’ ‘Authentic & accountable,’ ‘Make momentum,’ & ‘Simplify & ship.’ These ensure that every team member can thrive and make a difference.  

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. 

You understand QA fundamentals: test design techniques, SDLC, defect lifecycle, regression strategy, and risk-based testing. 

You have experience working in agile teams (Scrum/Kanban) and collaborating closely with Product and Engineering. 

You can test beyond “happy paths,” with a strong instinct for edge cases, data integrity, and user experience. 

You’re comfortable with API testing (e.g., using Postman/Insomnia) and validating integrations and error handling. 

You write excellent bug reports with clear reproduction steps, expected vs actual results, and helpful supporting evidence (logs/screenshots). 

You’re an effective communicator and collaborator, able to work cross-functionally and contribute to healthy delivery practices. 

Note: This is a manual-first position. Test automation experience is a plus, but not mandatory.
