Dealstack

QA/Test Engineer

Manual QA Engineer, Dealstack

Remote role

The Opportunity

Dealstack is on a mission to power private equity. We’re replacing outdated, manual workflows in dealmaking with structured, purpose-built SaaS tools. Founded by industry veterans, our products sit at the intersection of fintech, legaltech, and SaaS—transforming how private equity operates from the inside out.

Following strong traction and expansion of our multi-product roadmap, we are hiring a Manual QA Engineer to help ensure our product is stable, intuitive, and production-ready at all times. This is a hands-on, high-impact role within a small, independent product team that values quality over velocity, and collaboration over ego.

Who You Are

2+ years of experience in manual QA testing for web-based SaaS platforms
Comfortable testing complex workflows and edge cases, not just UI
Strong attention to detail with a methodical, user-first approach to testing
Curious, pragmatic, and comfortable in a fast-moving, changeable environment
Clear communicator with good written and verbal English
Interested in fintech and private equity is a bonus—but not a requirement
Willingness to Learn the Industry

Private equity is complex and full of nuance—and that’s exactly what makes our work rewarding. You don’t need a background in finance to succeed here, but you do need a genuine interest in learning how the industry works.

Our most effective QA engineers understand the real-world workflows behind the features they test. You'll be expected to engage with internal documentation, ask thoughtful questions, and build a working knowledge of private equity deal structures over time.

Responsibilities:

Own manual testing for new and existing features across our React/TypeScript frontend and Node.js/Nest.js backend
Review product specifications and Figma designs to write clear, structured test plans and exploratory checklists
Identify and document reproducible bugs in a structured, developer-friendly way
Manually test workflows and edge cases that are hard to automate—especially across

API and frontend interactions

Collaborate closely with developers to understand architecture and expected behaviour
Run exploratory testing sessions and regression sweeps before key releases
Work with the team to continuously improve our QA process and overall product quality

Tech You’ll Work With

While your focus is manual QA, you’ll interact with the following stack:

React.js (with TypeScript)
Node.js / NestJS
PostgreSQL
REST, GraphQL, tRPC APIs
WebSocket-based interactions
Figma (for interface reviews)
Tools like Jira, Playwright (for automated tests), and GitHub

Nice to Have

Experience with or interest in test automation tools (e.g. Playwright, Jest)
Exposure to CI/CD tools and deployment workflows
Comfort testing API endpoints directly (e.g. via Postman or Insomnia)
Understanding of data flows and backend systems (e.g. Redis, PostgreSQL)
Previous work in early-stage, product-focused tech companies
