About Allego Allego is a rapidly growing SaaS technology company headquartered in Boston MA. With a Tech Hub based in Newcastle Upon Tyne UK, offices in Colombia, plus a remote team of workers located around the world, we are a truly global organization supporting customers across regions and industries. With a modern approach to learning and sales enablement for today's distributed teams, our technology ensures that sales teams have the skills and latest knowledge to make the most of every selling situation. Allego is the only revenue enablement platform to be named a Leader in both the Forrester Wave and the inaugural Gartner Magic Quadrant for Revenue Enablement Platforms. Not only are we growing quickly, but we've also been recognized as a top place to work by The Boston Business Journal, The Boston Globe, and Inc. Magazine. Allego promotes an open and vibrant culture, filled with personality. We have strong operating principles which not only support execution excellence and customer focus in everything we do, but also encourage and support you to love your mistakes, learn, grow and always go the extra mile. About The Role We are seeking a Junior Quality Assurance Engineer to join our growing Development team, offering the chance to work in a collaborative, small team environment, as well as the opportunity to work with colleagues across the Atlantic and around the world. You will be responsible for testing new features, product enhancements and fixes relating to the Allego platform and all associated products. Our ambitious roadmap is leveraging some of the latest technologies in order to create exciting new features. As part of an Agile team, from sprint kickoff through to reporting bugs (and everything in between) you will be fully engaged in the development process and be able to make a real difference to the ongoing success of the team. About you You're curious and proactive - when something looks off, you dig in rather than wait to be told. You pick up new tools and processes quickly, with minimal hand-holding from your mentor, and know when to ask a well-targeted question versus leveraging available resources to work through it yourself first. You take ownership: unclear tickets or escaped bugs get followed up on, not left behind. You manage your own workload, treat documentation gaps as things to fix, and see every ticket as a chance to sharpen your craft. Knowledge And Experience 1+ years Quality Assurance experience preferably in a SaaS environment. Ability to create and manage all testware (test cases, cycles, data). Familiarity with Agile frameworks (SCRUM, Kanban). Excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Ability to work collaboratively with technical and non-technical teams. Experience of Jira / Test Management Systems / Google Workspace. Experience with manual testing web and mobile applications preferred. Knowledge of security best practices for a SaaS platform preferred. Knowledge of CRM systems (Salesforce / MS Dynamics) is beneficial. Automation experience or understanding of tools such as Jenkins / WebdriverIO / BrowserStack is beneficial but not essential. Motivation and confidence to suggest improvements to strengthen test effectiveness. ISTQB foundation level is desirable but not essential - we can help with that! Education Bachelor's degree in computer science, related field, or related experience required.

About Allego Allego is a rapidly growing SaaS technology company headquartered in Boston MA. With a Tech Hub based in Newcastle Upon Tyne UK, offices in Colombia, plus a remote team of workers located around the world, we are a truly global organization supporting customers across regions and industries. With a modern approach to learning and sales enablement for today's distributed teams, our technology ensures that sales teams have the skills and latest knowledge to make the most of every selling situation. Allego is the only revenue enablement platform to be named a Leader in both the Forrester Wave and the inaugural Gartner Magic Quadrant for Revenue Enablement Platforms. Not only are we growing quickly, but we've also been recognized as a top place to work by The Boston Business Journal, The Boston Globe, and Inc. Magazine. Allego promotes an open and vibrant culture, filled with personality. We have strong operating principles which not only support execution excellence and customer focus in everything we do, but also encourage and support you to love your mistakes, learn, grow and always go the extra mile. About The Role We are seeking a Junior Quality Assurance Engineer to join our growing Development team, offering the chance to work in a collaborative, small team environment, as well as the opportunity to work with colleagues across the Atlantic and around the world. You will be responsible for testing new features, product enhancements and fixes relating to the Allego platform and all associated products. Our ambitious roadmap is leveraging some of the latest technologies in order to create exciting new features. As part of an Agile team, from sprint kickoff through to reporting bugs (and everything in between) you will be fully engaged in the development process and be able to make a real difference to the ongoing success of the team. About you You're curious and proactive - when something looks off, you dig in rather than wait to be told. You pick up new tools and processes quickly, with minimal hand-holding from your mentor, and know when to ask a well-targeted question versus leveraging available resources to work through it yourself first. You take ownership: unclear tickets or escaped bugs get followed up on, not left behind. You manage your own workload, treat documentation gaps as things to fix, and see every ticket as a chance to sharpen your craft. Knowledge And Experience 1+ years Quality Assurance experience preferably in a SaaS environment. Ability to create and manage all testware (test cases, cycles, data). Familiarity with Agile frameworks (SCRUM, Kanban). Excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Ability to work collaboratively with technical and non-technical teams. Experience of Jira / Test Management Systems / Google Workspace. Experience with manual testing web and mobile applications preferred. Knowledge of security best practices for a SaaS platform preferred. Knowledge of CRM systems (Salesforce / MS Dynamics) is beneficial. Automation experience or understanding of tools such as Jenkins / WebdriverIO / BrowserStack is beneficial but not essential.
