Senior QA Tester SaaS Possible

🎤 Who we are:

We are proud to be an independent and bootstrapped SaaS company. We jumped on the Social Media Marketing space shuttle as early as 2009 when Facebook opened its first API. Today, our goal is to reach a 10 million ARR by the end of 2025, all while prioritizing quality over quantity, bringing aboard exceptional team members, and fostering a remarkable culture.

We’ve always been led by CEOs with tech backgrounds and developed a product-led strategy and a strong presence in the German-speaking market.

With our product, we enable, among others, NGOs, Newspapers, and Public Transportation Services, to manage their Social Media channels in one place.

🦄 Who you are:
