QA Analyst
Tester/Trainer
Johannesburg – Gauteng – South Africa
QA Analyst
Location: Sandton (Hybrid)
Type: Permanent
Salary: R41k – R46k pm
We’re hiring a seasoned QA Analyst to help lead quality efforts for an established tech environment based in Sandton. This is a hybrid role – you’ll need to be comfortable balancing remote work with time in-office when needed.
If you’re someone who sees quality as a shared responsibility, enjoys solving complex problems, and loves mentoring others, keep reading.
What you’ll do:
- Lead the testing effort from planning to execution across functional, integration, regression, performance, and security testing.
- Design smart test strategies that align with business goals and risk areas – not just ticking boxes.
- Collaborate closely with developers, project managers, and stakeholders to embed quality into every stage of development.
- Own defect management – log, track, and push for resolution. You’ll spot trends and help prevent recurring issues.
- Mentor junior testers, offering guidance, training, and support where needed.
- Build and maintain automation that adds real value – not just coverage for coverage’s sake.
- Drive process improvements across the QA function and advocate for smarter, more efficient testing.
- Contribute to risk assessments to make sure releases are sound, stable, and don’t surprise anyone.
- Keep learning and bring fresh ideas to the table – from tools to testing techniques.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has at least 5 years of QA experience in a software development environment
- Holds a minimum ISTQB certification
- Understands how to test properly – and how to explain the value of testing to non-testers
- Has hands-on experience with test automation and frameworks
- Can take initiative, work independently, and lead by example
- Communicates clearly and collaborates easily with technical and non-technical teams
What success looks like:
- Fewer bugs in production
- Smart test automation, not just more of it
- Clear, insightful feedback for dev teams
- Fast, efficient test cycles
- Junior team members learning and growing under your guidance
- A reputation as someone who adds value at every stage of development
