Senior QA Engineer

**About Us**:
Our initial success was with an entirely remote solution which identified the top computer scientists in the region, taught them how to pass interviews, vetted them, and helped them find amazing jobs (both remote and on-site). And it worked: at Google 71% of our referrals in our last batch were hired. We've converted that learning into a multi-modal, self-learning online platform so we can exponentially grow the number of people we help. Our platform already has more than 50k active users each month and is rapidly growing.

Our team previously worked at Google, Amazon, Upwork, Nvidia, Box, and Gaza Sky Geeks. We are experienced founders, operators, and technologists. We value diversity in our own team as much as we do in the industry. For example, our engineering team includes people in 7 different countries and is 50% female.

Our investors include Stripe, Y Combinator, Seedcamp, Reid Hoffman, Paul Graham, Jessica Livingston, Namrata Ganatra (the former CTO of Lambda School), Christina Sass (the former President of Andela), and Emma Tracey (the founder of Honeypot).

**Soft skills**:

- **Strong communication skills**: You pride yourself on your clear communication, both written and spoken. Note: As a multi-cultural team from a variety of backgrounds, we work entirely in English to make sure that no one is excluded from any conversations.
- ** Remote**: You have experience working on effective remote teams & thrive in such environments. You work well across time zones (e.g., you communicate effectively via asynchronous oral & verbal channels).
- ** Ability to handle ambiguity**: we're an early-stage startup which means the roadmap will change.
- ** Execution/project management**: As a small startup, we depend heavily on each person to be reliable and effective. You get things done efficiently and accurately, with little need for supervision. You use tools like Jira & remember everything that needs to get done.
- **Collaboration/team player**: You can work effectively with other people at Manara. As a small team spread out around the globe, we often end up working with a shifting group of people from the wider team. This means we all need to make sure we're able to confidently work with anyone else at the company at any time.
- ** Growth mentality**: You love learning, are hungry for feedback, and can quickly learn new things (process, technologies, etc.).
- ** Passionate about Manara's mission** of creating a community that unlocks the full potential of top tech talent in MENA (with a focus on Palestine & women).

**Location**:
We are a fully remote team but often like to work 'synchronously asynchronous', so your specific location doesn't matter but, to guarantee effective teamwork, we generally require our developers to be between UTC-4 and UTC+3. To ensure we all have time to work together each day, we require everyone to be available from noon to 4 p.m.
