QA Engineer (Romania - remote)

About Tilt 🛸

We’re building the next century of shopping - making it feel human, communal, and alive again. E-commerce has spent decades optimising for clicks, stripping away the trust, joy, and connection that once made shopping meaningful.

We’ve recently raised an $18M Series A from the world’s best investors to build the next era of commerce. Now, we’re hiring elite builders to make it happen.

Your Mission 🫵

At Tilt, QA isn’t about ticking boxes; it’s about thinking like our users, understanding the intent behind every feature, spotting what truly matters, and working with Product Owners, designers, and developers to fix it fast.

As our first dedicated QA hire, you’ll shape how quality works across Tilt: designing scalable testing processes, defining what “ready for QA” means, and building habits and tools that help teams deliver with confidence. You’ll move fluidly between hands-on testing and quality strategy, always focused on impact, clarity, and speed.

You’ll start with hands-on testing of our web platform, then expand coverage across mobile, identifying where automation brings the most value and helping us evolve toward a sustainable, data-driven QA practice.

Please note:

• We do not offer visa sponsorship for this role, and only candidates with full right to work will be considered.
• You’ll operate on UK time zone hours to stay closely aligned with the team, regardless of your location.
