About the job
Do you like finding bugs in code that developers think is perfect? Are you excited by the idea of edge cases, and security holes and love to break things - just so they don’t, in production?
And does making learning fun for kids excite you? Does the prospect of millions of kids benefiting from the software you test mean anything to you?
Finally, do you think Remote work is not only possible but also the future of work? If you were excitedly nodding when reading the above questions, check out our opening below!

Who Do We Hire?
• At Makkajai, we hire the best minds in technology to innovate, build, and break things so that kids can have the best learning experience possible.
• Our challenges are big - impacting millions of kids worldwide and our path is not always easy. We’re selective about who joins us on this journey.
• Someone excited by the idea of owning; for a QA engineer, that doesn’t mean just raising bugs and hoping developers will fix them. That means owning the quality of the product and holding the bottom-line responsibility for crash rates, user experience, and other quality metrics.
The work involves
• Ensuring our products are thoroughly enjoyable for kids, free from crashes, bugs, or any other distractions that could annoy them.
• Ensuring that our internal systems are well-tested, prioritizing bugs and issues, and working with the product team to get them fixed.
• Understanding user needs, and making sure that the app functionality achieves this. Rather than just testing to design, testing to whether the end user needs are met.
• Reporting and tracking bugs to closure, or triaging them for dev.
• Working with support to understand repetitive support issues and helping reproduce prod bugs/issues.
• Reviewing and providing feedback on test cases drafted and testing conducted by other QA team members.
• Taking ownership of the quality process, driving improvements and best practices across the QA team.
Are you ready to make a difference for millions of kids around the world?
We’re excited to get to know you! To move forward in the selection process, please complete the initial screening task added here and submit while applying.
