Marketing Content Writer/Editor

About Us

This is a chance to be part of a small exciting fully-remote team. We are profitable, entirely bootstrapped (no VCs to keep happy), and with huge potential for growth.

Testpad is a SaaS tool for managing test plans. It's for dev and test teams who are in a mess with spreadsheets, have hunted for a better solution, and before Testpad, gave up as everything else on the market is heavyweight traditional test case management.
