Quality Control Software Tester - Remote in Essex

Are you a technically minded Warehouse 'Super-User' or 'Go-To' Floor person? Would you like to become a remote working Quality Control (QC) Expert? If you are a regular user of WMS software and would like to start breaking it, fixing it, and building it, then this is the role and opportunity for you!

Our leading software client doesn't build code for the sake of it. They build outcomes for high-volume shippers moving 100+ orders a day. To do that, they need someone who knows what a 'perfect shipping day' actually looks like. They deliver industry-leading Warehouse Management Systems, powering thousands of e-commerce, 3PL, and logistics operations worldwide. Their flagship products provide advanced inventory, fulfilment, and warehouse automation capabilities.

We are not looking for a corporate software tester. We are looking for the Warehouse Supervisor, Operations Lead, or 'Go-To' Floor Person who is tired of fighting clunky systems and ready to build a better one. Real world, hands-on, warehousing experience having ideally worked in an e-commerce business using a WMS system will fit right in. If you have worked for a 3PL, or in the client setup space, even better.

They are actively expanding their Quality Assurance department, bringing together a dedicated testing team with a natural leader, who can drive automated testing, strengthen release reliability, and ensure our WMS platforms are robust, scalable, and ready for real-world warehouse environments.

The Floor Legend: You are the person everyone asks for help when the WMS acts up, the labels won't print, or a new e-commerce client needs to be onboarded.

E-commerce DNA: You've lived the pick-pack-ship grind. You know that in high-volume e-commerce, a 'small glitch' at 3pm is a disaster.

Sharp Tech-Literate: You are not a coder, but you are 'techy.' You have probably used YouTube or AI to solve problems before. You are curious, fast, and bored of just packing boxes.

3PL Experience (Nice to have): If you have handled client setups or multi-tenant warehousing, you'll fit right in.

The Role: Your job is to be the final gatekeeper. Before a feature reaches their customers, it has to pass you.

Real-World Testing: You will put new features through the ringer. If a workflow is slow, confusing, or 'doesn't work like a warehouse actually works,' you send it back to the Developers.

Master the Tools: They will train you on the technical side. Using modern AI and testing platforms, we will show you how to turn your warehouse knowledge into professional software QC.

Outcome Obsessed: Their customers pay for a service, not code. You will ensure the 'service' is bulletproof.

Why is this role for you?

• Trade the High-Vis for High-Tech: Move into a career in software without losing the expertise you have spent years building.
• Work with a Sharp Team: Join a crew that values shipping efficiency over 'coding for the sake of it.'
• Build the Future: Help create the WMS you always wished you had when you were on the floor. If you've got the warehouse brains, they have got the tools.

What they Offer:

• Remote Working Opportunity to work on market-leading WMS platforms used globally.
• The chance to influence how real users experience our products.
• A role that values judgement, common sense, and user empathy.
• Exposure to multiple products across different stages of development.
• A collaborative, remote working environment that really pulls together.
