Join Harker at an exciting time of growth, post-launch of our SaaS platform to solve homelessness with data. This job involves developing a rigorous testing plan for the platform and carrying it out to find software bugs, which you will turn into detailed bug reports for our software development team. Your work will directly contribute to a live software project by facilitating quality of life improvements for our clients.
This role is flexible, but requires self-discipline, good teamwork skills and a desire to learn new technologies. As a start-up, you will be joining a small team of software developers and, unlike at a larger company, you will be expected to be self-reliant and take on responsibility. Conversely, this means that you get to take ownership of your work and make an impact on our platform.
Further, you will be working at a company on a social mission to build the next generation of software for homelessness services, so you can take pride in how your work will support the lives of vulnerable people.

- Developing a testing plan for Harker
