A big hello from the team at Compuco!
Our mission is to empower socially responsible organisations with the digital tools they need to build a better world.
We work with charities across the digital stack helping them to rebuild their processes using flexible open source tools. We help organisations streamline and reimagine the way they work so that they can focus on impact.
We are looking for a talented and experienced QA engineer to work with us on a range of high-impact open-source projects for the not-for-profit sector.

Your principal focus will be to help us build high-quality products by finding and reporting bugs and glitches in our software using CiviCRM and Drupal (7 and over), but there's a lot going on at Compuco so expect to be exposed to other technologies too!

- Assist the Helpdesk team and Product Owners to troubleshoot issues

- Collaborate with other QA Engineers to develop effective strategies and share best practices
Experience sought:
- 3+ years of experience in a QA engineer role for web applications
- Previous experience as a QA engineer for business applications such as CRM or ERP

Desirable skills:
- Exposure to Drupal 7 and/or 9/10 or similar CMS platform
