Job Description

About Swap

Swap is the infrastructure behind modern agentic commerce. The only AI-native platform connecting backend operations with a forward-thinking storefront experience.

Built for brands that want to sell anything - anywhere, Swap centralises global operations, powers intelligent workflows, and unlocks margin-protecting decisions with real-time data and capability.

About the role

We are looking for a mid–senior Manual QA Engineer to join our Returns team. You will work closely with the Product Manager and engineers to ensure stable releases in a fast-moving, AI-enabled ecommerce environment. You will own test planning and execution, build and maintain structured regression coverage, and help the team adopt clear quality practices. This role is manual-first, with a clear path to grow into automation or software engineering.

Responsibilities

• Drive end-to-end testing for Returns flows across UI and APIs: functional, regression, exploratory, and release validation.

• Own test design and documentation: create and maintain test scenarios, checklists, and regression suites with clear traceability to requirements.

• Partner with the Product Manager on requirements clarity: decompose user needs into testable acceptance criteria and critical user journeys.

• Organize quality work for the team: define lightweight QA process per feature, release checklist, triage routines, and quality gates for what is “ready to ship”.

• Execute technical validation: perform API checks (e.g., Postman/curl), validate payloads, logs, and data consistency; understand system behaviour well enough to isolate failures.

• Report defects with high signal: strong reproduction steps, impact, evidence, and prioritisation; verify fixes and prevent regressions.

Requirements

• 3–5 years of experience in manual QA for web products (ecommerce experience is a plus).

• Strong test design skills: scenarios, edge cases, regression suites, and structured documentation.

• Extreme attention to detail and strong product sense: understands user goals and can spot UX and workflow issues early.

• Able to lead quality activities without formal authority: organizes work, drives alignment, and keeps releases under control.

• Technical foundation: confident with API testing tools (Postman), basic SQL is a plus, and able to reason about client/server behavior and data flows.

• Comfortable in an agile environment with Jira (or similar), and strong written communication for clear bug reports and test summaries.

Growth mindset (important)

• Motivated to transition over time toward automation or software engineering; willing to learn scripting, CI basics, and how to turn stable manual regression into automated coverage

Benefits

• Competitive base salary.

• Stock options in a high-growth startup.

• Competitive PTO with public holidays additional.

• Private Health.

• Pension.

• Wellness benefits.

• Breakfast Mondays.
