Build quality software with people who actually care about it
Rivora is a small QA and engineering team working with SaaS companies in the US, UK, and EU. We care about doing the work right, not just billing for it. If that sounds like your kind of place, take a look at our open positions below.
Open positions
QA Engineer
Manual testing focused role. You will be the person who actually tries to break the product before our clients ship it to production.
QA Automation Engineer
Build and maintain Playwright test suites for our clients. You will work on real production codebases and own the automation layer end to end.
Why work at Rivora
Real work on real products
You will work on production codebases used by real users at real companies. No fake training projects, no shadow work that goes nowhere.
Senior people, no junior offloading
We do not hire juniors to bill them as seniors. Everyone we hire is expected to do senior-level work, with support from the team when needed.
Remote-first, EU-friendly hours
Work from wherever you want. We do most of our work between 9am and 6pm Central European Time. No 3am US calls.
Honest communication
We say what we mean, even when it is uncomfortable. No corporate fluff, no pretending things are fine when they are not.
What we value
- 1
Quality over speed, every time
We would rather ship one feature properly than three features that break in production. If a client pushes us to ship something we know is not ready, we push back.
- 2
Ownership, not assignments
When you join a project, it is your project. You are not waiting for someone to tell you what to do next. You are the person clients depend on.
- 3
Always learning, never showing off
We want people who read, experiment, and share what they learn. We do not care about credentials or fancy job titles. We care about whether you can do the work.
Our hiring process
We respect your time. Our process is short, transparent, and honest. From application to offer is usually 2 to 3 weeks.
Application
Send us your CV and a short message. We read every application within 5 business days.
Intro call
30-minute video call to learn about you and answer your questions about us.
Practical task
A small paid take-home task that mirrors real work. Usually takes 2 to 4 hours.
Final call & offer
We review the task together, discuss compensation, and make an offer. No fake gating.
What we offer
Common questions
Do you accept candidates outside Europe?+
Yes, but we have a strong preference for Europe-based candidates because we work mostly during EU business hours and need timezone overlap with US and UK clients. If you are based outside Europe but can work EU hours reliably, we are open to talking.
Are these contractor or employee positions?+
Both are possible. We work with people as full-time employees where local employment law allows, and as contractors otherwise. We will figure out the right setup based on where you are based.
I do not have all the required skills. Should I still apply?+
Yes, if you have most of them and you are genuinely interested in the role. We care more about how you think than which tools you have used. Tell us what is missing and why you think you can pick it up.
What is the take-home task like?+
It is a small, focused task that takes 2 to 4 hours. We pay you for your time at a fair rate. It mirrors the actual work you would do here. No fake puzzles or whiteboard interviews.
Do you sponsor visas or relocation?+
Not currently. We are a small team and visa sponsorship is too complex for us right now. We can work with you remotely from wherever you are based.
When do positions actually start?+
We are hiring on a rolling basis. Once we find the right person, we move fast. You could be working with us within 4 to 6 weeks of your first application.
Do not see a role that fits?
If you are a strong QA or engineering person and want to work with us, send us an email anyway. We add roles when we find the right people, not the other way around.
