At Agrigistics, we're revolutionising how essential industries like agriculture and construction manage their people. Our platform is the end-to-end solution for a waged workforce, replacing outdated methods with smart technology that streamlines everything from time tracking to payroll.

We give businesses the real-time visibility they need to act fast, work smarter, and control costs in high-pressure industries. Joining us means you’re building technology that keeps operations running smoothly, payrolls accurate, and people paid on time—making a real difference where it matters most.

Agrigistics is on a mission to become the go-to solution for managing a waged workforce across Southern Africa. With over 200 businesses already relying on our technology, our small but mighty team is making a huge impact—and we're just getting started.

We believe in total transparency and collaboration. From company financials to strategic decisions, we share everything. Your voice won't just be heard; it will actively shape our future.

And we have fun doing it. We balance our hard work with weekly knowledge sessions, monthly "happy-half-days" for recharging, and regular team celebrations. We’re building a company that’s changing an industry and enjoying every step of the journey.

You’ll define what quality means at Agrigistics. As our first dedicated Software Quality Engineer, you’ll shape the systems, practices, and culture that keep our high-stakes payroll and financial platform rock-solid.

• You’ll blend strong engineering with modern AI tools : designing and owning a complete automated testing strategy—starting with a robust end-to-end (E2E) suite—and using AI to accelerate test creation, generate realistic data, and spot edge cases before they reach production.

• You’ll embed quality from the start : joining sprint planning and design reviews, combining human insight with AI-driven analysis to identify risks early, challenge assumptions, and ensure features truly solve the user’s problem without hidden pitfalls.

• You’ll raise the bar for releases : refining our CI/CD pipelines with automated quality gates (including AI-assisted checks) so we can ship faster and safer.

• You’ll stay close to the product : running exploratory and acceptance testing, uncovering issues scripts can’t catch, and working side-by-side with developers to fix them.

We’re after a meticulous, product-focused engineer who thrives at the intersection of quality engineering and smart automation . You might call yourself a Pragmatic Skeptic or a Constructive Perfectionist —curious, systematic, and relentless about protecting the user.

You’ll thrive here if you have:

• Proven technical testing expertise : 3+ years in a software quality role, with strong JavaScript/TypeScript skills and experience building E2E frameworks (Cypress, Playwright, etc.), plus API testing know-how and performance/security testing awareness.

• A track record of AI-assisted testing : You’ve actively integrated AI into your workflow—generating test cases, crafting data, simulating edge scenarios, or diagnosing issues faster.

• CI/CD innovation : Experience improving pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) and setting up automated, AI-enhanced quality gates.

• A true product mindset : You look beyond “does it work?” to “does it work for the user, in the real world, without risk?”

• Ownership in ambiguity : You build what’s missing, adapt processes to fit the moment, and thrive in a fast-moving startup environment.

Join us to set the standard for software quality in an industry that can’t afford mistakes—and help us build a platform our clients trust with their most critical operations.

If you're a creative problem-solver ready to apply your skills to real-world challenges, your place is with us. This is your chance to build, innovate, and see your work make a tangible impact on essential industries.
