We’re building a new Jakarta-based team to work closely with our colleagues in Switzerland, and we’re looking for a Software Tester to be the first dedicated tester for Olmero in the hub. Until now, most manual testing has been done directly by Product Owners. With the new team, we want someone who will take real ownership of testing: bringing structure to manual tests, helping reduce regressions, and gradually shaping how we approach test automation together with the engineers. If you enjoy digging into web applications, thinking like a user, and quietly raising the quality bar every day, this might be a good place for you.   Key Responsibilities Own and perform manual testing on Olmero’s test environment for new features and changes. Review user stories and acceptance criteria in Jira, ask clarifying questions, and ensure they are clear and testable. Design and maintain test cases, test scenarios, and checklists for functional, regression, and smoke testing. Perform exploratory testing to uncover edge cases and usability issues. Identify, document, and track defects clearly in Jira, and follow up with developers on resolutions. Prepare and share concise test reports and release-readiness notes with the team. Collaborate closely with developers, Product Owner, and Tech Leads (Switzerland and Jakarta) to understand flows, risks, and priorities. Contribute to building a more structured testing and release process, including basic integration testing over time. Gradually help the team identify high-value candidates for automation and support early automation initiatives where relevant.   Qualifications Human Skills Growth mindset: Demonstrated willingness to learn, adapt, and improve ways of working. Empathy: Ability to understand user perspectives and the impact of defects on customers and teammates. Communication: Clear verbal and written communication in Bahasa Indonesia and English; able to explain findings and risks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Team collaboration: Proven experience working in cross-functional teams (developers, POs, designers, etc.). Ownership: Comfortable taking responsibility as the first dedicated tester on a product and following issues through to completion. Adaptability: Able to work with evolving requirements and priorities in a distributed team setup. Technical Skills 5+ years of experience as a Software Tester / QA Engineer, preferably on web-based SaaS products. Strong experience in manual testing: functional, regression, smoke, and exploratory testing. Ability to create clear, well-structured test cases and scenarios based on requirements and specifications. Hands-on experience logging and managing defects using Jira (or similar issue tracking tools). Exposure to test automation tools such as Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, or similar. Familiarity with testing against acceptance criteria and working closely with Product Managers. Familiarity with Test Case Management tools such as AIO Tests, Qase, TestRail, or similar platforms. Basic understanding of web technologies (HTTP, APIs, browsers, common failure modes).   Nice to Have Basic proficiency with Git for source control. Working knowledge of JavaScript or TypeScript. Experience or interest in integration testing and end-to-end testing. Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and how automated tests fit into them. Experience working with distributed teams across time zones.   Education and Experience Experience in a SaaS environment or other complex, business-critical systems. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field is preferred, but equivalent practical experience is also welcome.
