We are looking for a QA Engineer to manually test productivity desktop applications built on .NET across Windows and macOS platforms. You will work closely with product and engineering teams to ensure a high-quality experience for an AI-powered desktop product operating in a fast-paced, product-driven environment.

This role requires strong cross-platform testing expertise, attention to detail, and the ability to translate product behavior into structured, actionable test cases and bug reports.

Key Responsibilities
  • Perform manual functional testing of desktop applications across Windows and macOS
  • Validate application behavior on Windows 10/11 and macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon/ARM)
  • Design and author structured test cases from product specifications, UI walkthroughs, and exploratory testing
  • Maintain test cases in structured formats (CSV/spreadsheets) with clear steps, expected outcomes, and pass/fail criteria
  • Review and refine AI-generated test plans by removing redundancies, identifying edge cases, and improving clarity and coverage
  • Identify, document, and report bugs with precise reproduction steps, severity classification, screenshots, and logs
  • Test complex desktop UI flows including multi-window interfaces, drag-and-drop, system tray/menu bar interactions, modal dialogs, and installer flows
  • Validate platform-specific behaviors including Windows Shell extensions, registry-related behavior, NSIS installers, macOS app bundles, Info.plist configurations, and file associations
  • Test integrations with Microsoft 365 applications, including Outlook Classic and modern Outlook
  • Collaborate with engineering and product teams using Microsoft Teams and GitLab for issue tracking and communication

Must Have Requirements
  • 3+ years of experience in manual functional testing of desktop applications
  • Hands-on experience testing on both Windows and macOS environments (not limited to one platform)
  • Ability to test across Windows 10/11 and macOS (including Intel and Apple Silicon systems)
  • Strong experience in test case design and documentation from product requirements or exploratory testing
  • Experience refining and improving test plans, including AI-generated test cases
  • Strong bug reporting skills with clear, structured, and reproducible documentation
  • Familiarity with complex desktop UI patterns and system-level behaviors
  • Understanding of platform-specific components such as Windows Shell, registry, NSIS installers, macOS app bundles, and system integrations
  • Experience working with Microsoft Teams and Git-based issue tracking systems
  • Strong written English communication skills

Good-To-Have Requirements
  • Experience testing Microsoft Entra ID / OAuth authentication flows
  • Experience with automation testing i.e. Selenium etc.
  • Exposure to AI or LLM-based chat applications
  • Experience validating installers (NSIS on Windows, .dmg/.app on macOS)
  • Experience working in fast-paced startup or product-driven environments
