About Tilt 🛸

We’re building the next century of shopping—making it feel human, communal, and alive again. E-commerce has spent decades optimising for clicks, stripping away the trust, joy, and connection that once made shopping meaningful.

We’ve recently raised an $18M Series A from the world’s best investors to build the next era of commerce. Now, we’re hiring elite builders to make it happen.

Your Mission 🫵

At Tilt, QA isn’t about ticking boxes; it’s about thinking like our users, understanding the intent behind new features, spotting the issues that truly matter, and working closely with Product Owners, designers, and developers to get them fixed fast.

You will establish and drive quality across our entire platform (web and mobile). As our first dedicated QA hire, you will work independently to design testing scenarios, ensure requirements are testable, and guide the team in building features with quality in mind.

While your work will cover the platform as a whole, your initial focus will be on hands-on testing of our web product. Over time, you’ll identify high-value areas to transition into automation using modern, industry-standard frameworks, while continuing to expand coverage across mobile.

Please note, we do not offer visa sponsorship for this role, and only candidates with full right to work will be considered.

• Get up to speed on Tilt’s core flows, community, and feature set (both iOS & Android).

• Write and document initial manual test scenarios in Confluence/TestRail for our most critical paths.

• Run your first full regression test cycle on a stable release, producing clear, actionable reports.

• Set a QA bug-reporting standard for the team, including reproduction steps, expected vs actual behaviour, device/OS info, and media evidence.

• Start testing the seller dashboard & seller-related features on both web and mobile for consistency.

3+ months

• Own regression coverage for your focus area (mobile or web) before every major release.

• Collaborate with POs to decide what needs fixing now vs. what can be scheduled for later, balancing quality with delivery speed.

• Maintain a backlog of known issues with clear impact notes.

• Adapt quickly to feature churn, shifting priorities, and fast delivery cycles without losing focus on quality.

• Draft a long-term automation strategy (tools, scenarios, ROI) for when the time is right.
