About Us

We are a fast-growing, multi-brand media technology company operating across France, the Netherlands, the UK, Canada, and Morocco. Our platform delivers premium digital content experiences — news, entertainment, and education — to partners and consumers worldwide. With nearly 140 employees and 15+ years of product history, we are scaling our QA practice to match our ambitions.

We are looking for an experienced QA Analyst who takes pride in deep, hands-on manual testing. This is a role for someone who genuinely loves the craft of testing: designing rigorous test cases, uncovering edge cases, and ensuring users only ever see a polished product.

Role Overview

You will be the quality guardian of our web and mobile applications — owning the full manual testing lifecycle from test plan creation through execution, defect tracking, and sign-off. You will work closely with developers, product managers, and customer care teams across our international offices, and mentor junior testers to raise team-wide standards.

This is a manual-testing-first role. Automation experience is a bonus, but your instincts, analytical thinking, and thoroughness as a hands-on tester are what matter most here.
