About Better Planner Tribe:

Better Planner is the newest product in the Bettermile suite, built to redefine how logistics operations plan, predict, and execute. Our mission is to turn complex operational data into precise, automated decisions. AI that solves essential, real-world problems at scale. You will be part of an experienced, fast-moving, highly collaborative, and flat-hierarchy team.

We are looking for a QA Specialist who can pair innovation with practical execution. The product is only at its inception, giving you substantial influence over its direction and the opportunity to shape a system that will drive the next years of parcel logistics intelligence!

Currently, our engineers are doing their own manual testing, and we’ve reached the limit of that model. We are yet to build a structured quality process in Better Planner, and we need you to move us from ad-hoc checks to a world-class testing practice. You won’t just be finding bugs; you’ll be building the safety net for our most critical products.

Our current tech stack: Kotlin, NodeJS, React, AWS, Snowflake, Dagster

You will be taking care of

• Building our QA practice from the ground up, moving the tribe from an unstructured environment to a professional, reliable process.

• Setting up the test management tools and suites yourself to replace current ad-hoc manual checks with a scalable system.

• Owning the release cycle, from deep-diving into new features to running the full manual regression suite before each release.

• Testing across the entire stack, from React web and mobile apps to API validation with Postman and physical device connections.

• Experimenting with AI agents and next-gen tools to find ways to automate your own repetitive tasks and optimize the workflow.

You check these boxes

• 3+ years of experience in QA roles within fast-paced tech environments.

• Technical expertise in manual testing across the stack, including web apps, mobile apps, and deep-dive API testing.

• Experience owning full-cycle testing, including regression testing. You acted as the primary quality gatekeeper within high-velocity, weekly release schedules.

• Strong bug lifecycle management and prioritization skills, with a focus on reclaiming engineering capacity and ensuring production stability for a critical product.

• Intrinsic curiosity about AI and "Agentic" engineering, with a tinkerer’s mindset for exploring how to optimize and automate your own manual workflows.

It is awesome if you also have

• Demonstrated ability to build a QA practice from scratch, moving the tribe from unstructured testing to a professional, documented process without a pre-existing playbook.

• Domain knowledge in logistics.

• Past experience with test management platforms like Squash TM or TestRail.

• Interest and availability to travel to Depots around Europe and experience/evaluate the impact of our solutions in the real world.
