We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Analyst, Quality Assurance

Location: Lagos

The Role

• We are looking for a QA Analyst to join our Lagos-based technology team and help protect the quality of software that matters.
• You will work within an existing QA team, reporting to the Product Manager, and take ownership of testing across our mobile (Android/iOS) and web product suite.
• This is not a passive role — you will be actively building test coverage, developing automation capability, and partnering with engineers and product managers to catch failures before they reach the field.
• This role is right for someone early in their QA career who brings solid fundamentals, a genuine hunger to learn, and enough curiosity about the real world to care about who uses the software they test.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and execute test cases for mobile (Android/iOS) and web applications, covering functional, regression, edge-case, and exploratory testing scenarios.
• Document and maintain test coverage across core user flows — ensuring the Product Manager and Engineering Lead have a clear, current view of what is tested and what is not before every release.
• Identify, log, and track bugs with clear reproduction steps, severity ratings, and evidence — prioritising issues with the highest potential impact on field officers and farmers in low-connectivity environments.
• Build and maintain automation scripts in the team's chosen framework, starting with high-frequency regression scenarios and progressively expanding coverage.
• Participate in sprint cycles — reviewing requirements and user stories before development begins, flagging ambiguity or edge cases that could become quality risks downstream.
• Conduct release readiness assessments — providing a structured sign-off or risk summary to the Product Manager before each production deployment.
• Investigate root causes of recurring bugs and test failures, distinguishing between isolated incidents and systemic issues that require process or code fixes.
• Test specifically for low-resource conditions — simulating low-bandwidth environments, older device models, and intermittent connectivity scenarios representative of Babban Gona's field context.
• Collaborate with engineers on defect resolution — providing the detailed reproduction evidence needed to diagnose and fix issues efficiently.
• Contribute to QA team knowledge — documenting test approaches, sharing learnings from new tools or techniques, and helping to raise the team's overall capability over time.

What Success Looks Like
In your first 6 months:

• 80%+ of core user flows documented with test cases across the two highest-priority applications, with zero critical flows untested.
• Minimum 20 confirmed production-risk bugs identified and logged before they reached the field.
• At least one automation script running reliably in CI, covering a high-frequency regression scenario.

In Your First 12 Months:

• Fewer than 2 critical regression failures per quarter attributable to test coverage gaps.
• A living test coverage document actively maintained and used in release decisions.
• End-to-end ownership of the test suite for at least one product area, with automation capability meaningfully expanded from your starting point.

Requirements
Experience & Qualifications
Required:

• 0 - 4 years of QA or software testing experience, with hands-on exposure to structured test case design and defect logging.
• Experience testing mobile applications (Android and/or iOS) and web-based interfaces.
• Familiarity with at least one test management or bug tracking tool (e.g., Jira, TestRail, or equivalent).
• Basic understanding of automation testing concepts — you don't need to be an automation engineer, but you must be willing and able to learn and contribute.
• Strong analytical thinking — able to identify what could break, not just what is obviously broken.
• Clear written communication — bug reports that engineers can act on without a follow-up conversation.

Preferred:

• Exposure to any automation framework (Selenium, Appium, Cypress, Playwright, or similar) — framework-agnostic candidates welcome.
• Experience testing in low-connectivity or mobile-first environments.
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum development cycles.
• Prior experience in a mission-driven, startup, or high-growth organisation.
