About STATSports:

What if the product you helped to build next week was worn by an elite athlete the week after?

At STATSports, that could be your reality.

Since 2007, we’ve grown from a small Irish start-up into the global leader in GPS performance tracking, trusted by the world’s biggest clubs, leagues, and athletes. Our technology sits at the intersection of hardware, software, and sport, helping teams optimise performance, reduce injury risk, and unlock insights that were previously impossible.

But just as importantly, our products support the next generation of athletes, from academies to grassroots, giving them access to the same performance tools as the pros.

Innovation has always driven us forward, and it’s our people who make that happen.

The software QA Engineer will work closely with the product, development & UI/UX teams to understand the new features and to provide input into the testing performed. The successful candidate will also need to have a technical mindset and enjoy working in a fast team environment.

If you’re passionate about quality, enjoy collaborating with engineers, and like being close to the product, this role will suit you.

Define and produce QA reports for defects and test execution reports

Participate in scrum activities and actively support product owners and assigned product teams.

What we’re looking for:

You’ll likely enjoy this role if you:

At least 2 years of experience working in a QA software testing role with hands-on experience in supporting test execution in mobile, web and desktop applications
Experience working on multiple projects simultaneously
Knowledge of creating automated test cases using Selenium
Previous experience using JIRA as a defect tracking system
Proven ability to adhere to QA processes including creating and maintaining test cases and suites using TestRail
Proficient with testing RESTful API’s using Postman
Ability to collaborate with various teams

Nice to have (but not essential):

What’s in it for you:

A key role in delivering high-quality software used in elite sport
The opportunity to influence quality practices and test strategy across products
Exposure to a broad technology stack across web, mobile, and desktop platforms
Collaboration with experienced engineers, product owners, and stakeholders
A team culture that values learning, ownership, and shared success
The chance to see your work support athletes and teams at the very top of their game

If you’re passionate about quality and want your work to have a real-world impact in sport, we’d love to hear from you.
