QA Engineer

Kamma is removing one of the messiest, riskiest parts of the UK housing market: property licensing. Regulations change constantly, fines are huge, and even senior public figures get caught out. We make compliance clear, accurate and effortless — turning a painful cost centre into a genuine commercial advantage. Our platform has been rebuilt from the ground up: fast, flexible, and built to launch new products quickly as regulations shift. Enforcement is rising, rent repayment orders are doubling, and demand from the industry is accelerating. We already partner with major brands like Foxtons, JLL, Knight Frank, Chestertons and more — and new integrations are opening powerful routes for distribution and scale. We’re an AI‑native team. We automate everything we can, train every team member on modern AI tooling, and focus humans where they add the most value.
