About this role

We are a growing SaaS start-up with an international team, operating on the intersection between two of the world's most fascinating industries - global shipping and global travel. Over 90% of global trade depends on ships, and the shipping industry depends on the 2 million seafarers who operate them. What most people don't know is there's a complex, mission-critical travel operation going on 24/7 to bring seafarers to the ships where they're needed, when they're needed.

That's called crew logistics, and without it, global trade wouldn't function. But it's an operation often built on manual processes and legacy systems, meaning high-stress for operators, an unreliable experience for seafarers, and poor outcomes for the industry. That is until Tilla enters the scene. Backed by strong investor support, with more than 10,000 crew changes executed in the platform each year across over 600 vessels globally, our platform is a game changer in crew logistics, streamlining collaboration between operators and seafarers, making crew operations more humane, efficient, and cost-effective.

Join us on the next chapter of our growth journey and tackle this overlooked yet critical global challenge: every crew change, optimized and digital. Your mission Build the quality system that lets Tilla ship quickly and safely: reusable test automation, sound release judgement, and a way of working that makes quality everyone's job in practice. As our first dedicated QA engineer, you will take ownership of work currently shared across engineering, product, design and customer experience.

🧱 Reliable releases at pace / by architecting Tilla's test automation framework Designing and building a scalable, reusable end-to-end test framework in Playwright and TypeScript Automating coverage of critical user journeys across flight search, travel operations and tenant integrations Owning the regression suite and keeping it fast, stable and trusted Working with platform engineering to set risk-based thresholds for quality gates in CI 🚦 Protecting customer trust / by keeping critical defects out of production without slowing delivery Triaging and prioritising defects by their impact on customers, including confusion as well as functional breakage, and deciding clearly what blocks a release and what does not.
