Job Description
About Partao
Partao is an early-stage startup building the world’s most trusted B2B marketplace for heavy machinery parts. We’ve already ingested over 5 million SKUs, but only a fraction are fully classified with images and rich data. Backed by recent investment, we’re scaling fast: fixing latency, ramping ingestion, and making our marketplace the go-to platform for buyers and sellers worldwide. We’re scrappy, hands-on, and obsessed with building systems that last.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Manual QA Engineer who thrives in the details. You’ll be the one making sure that when we ship fast, we also ship with confidence. This role is about testing our platform end-to-end, uncovering bugs before customers do, and ensuring a smooth experience across web and mobile. You’ll be embedded in the product cycle from the start — working closely with engineers and product managers to spot issues early and push fixes quickly. If you love breaking things so users don’t have to, this role is for you.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, early-stage startup and wants their work to have immediate impact.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan, design, and execute manual test cases across frontend, backend, and integrations.
- Perform functional, regression, integration, and cross-browser/device testing.
- Log and track bugs, ensuring clear communication with developers.
- Collaborate with product managers and engineers to define acceptance criteria.
- Document test plans, processes, and results.
- Provide feedback on usability, performance, and edge cases.
- Contribute ideas for improving overall QA practices as we scale.
Requirements
- 2+ years of QA/testing experience.
- Strong understanding of manual testing processes and defect reporting.
- Ability to write clear, detailed test cases.
- Familiarity with bug tracking tools (Jira, Github, or similar).
- Good written and verbal communication in English.
- A detail-oriented mindset with the curiosity to dig deep into edge cases.
Bonus Points
- Exposure to automated testing frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Jest).
- Experience testing APIs (Postman, REST, GraphQL).
- Prior startup experience in fast-moving environments.
What We Offer
- Opportunity to join a growing, VC-backed startup in a pivotal marketing role, gaining exposure to both B2B and B2C growth strategies across international markets
- High autonomy with direct impact on growth and branding strategy
- A culture of speed, data-driven decision-making, and transparency
