Quality Assurance Specialist

Are you interested in working at the center of a SaaS rocketship by testing and utilizing your findings to enhance our product? If so, we are seeking a full-time Quality Assurance Specialist.

About Us

Prokeep is a software company that has developed a messaging platform for the $17 trillion construction industry. Our team is nimble and devoted to making our customers' lives easier with simple-to-use technology. We envision a world where distributors using our tools are more efficient and able to build stronger relationships with their customers.

Our SaaS product has generated significant traction in a short period of time. With your help we will accelerate our growth.

Your Mission

We are looking for a driven and responsible individual who is EXTREMELY detail oriented and can learn our products by thoroughly identifying, recording, and documenting any bugs in the system.

No past technical experience is required, however, we are seeking a quick learner and someone who is open to working in a fast-moving startup environment. There will be training provided and opportunities for career growth.

As the need for testing decreases over time, responsibilities will shift to helping manage our products. This individual will help the product team in their mission to create maximum adoption and value for our customers.

Due to a fluid weekly release schedule, candidates must be able to work occasional evenings and occasional Sundays immediately post-release to ensure new software is properly tested. Any off-core hours are banked and the QAS will get that time off the following week (with 40 hours per week being the average). This candidate will need to work PST West Coast core hours, and will likely need to be located in the West Coast US or Mountain Time Zone.
