Job Purpose and Overview

We are passionate about tools.

Using Atlassian products as a core platform, we deliver Great Tools to software companies and IT teams that want to innovate, build products better, and change the status quo. We take pride in our work. Our apps are used in some of the largest Atlassian deployments in the world.

  • Collaborate with developers, product managers, and other stakeholders to prioritize and resolve identified issues.
  • Collect data relevant to problem investigation
  • Troubleshoot customers problems
  • Engage in technical discussions and problem-solving initiatives
  • Work independently and as part of our teams

You’re A Good Fit If:

  • Passionate about quality and eager to learn
  • Demonstrated understanding of software development life cycle (SDLC) and testing methodologies
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with keen attention to detail.
  • Self-driven, self-managed, and efficient.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, able to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
  • Desire to learn automation techniques
  • Fluent in English

What We Would Like to See

  • 2+ years proven experience as a Manual Tester or similar role in software testing
  • Experience with AWS services is a plus
  • Experience with Jira is a plus
  • Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies is a plus

What We Offer:

  • Every Appfire employee is eligible for company equity
  • 25 paid days off, regardless of years of experience (30 days after 5 years with the company)
  • Private healthcare
  • Sofia public transport card
  • Multisport card
  • Development opportunities via our Appfire University

Come join us at our new office building! GORA is a new office building located in the heart of the city, within walking distance from Paradise Mall and Vitosha Metro station. LEED-certified GORA offers sustainable and comfortable spaces for the business development of its tenants

About Appfire

A people-first approach to business

Since its inception, Appfire has been a remote-first company. With 800+ employees (who we call fireflies) across 27 countries, we foster an environment where everyone is respected. We invest in team members by ensuring they grow professionally and personally.

Making an impact

At Appfire, corporate social responsibility is driven by team members, family, friends, customers, and partners through Appfire Town. This program brings people together to generate a strong social impact in our local and global communities.

Our CEO believes being philanthropic is integral to operating our business and is not merely the result of our success. In 2015, Appfire joined the Pledge 1% network of organizations committed to philanthropy. Appfire has since grown our Pledge 1% program to include all four pledge types — product, profit, equity, and employee time. We were among the first to do this, and we’re proud that Pledge 1% is part of our evolution.

Our business

Appfire has been profitable since its inception, with best-in-class free cash flow margins relative to the broader SaaS universe. The company's mission to equip and connect every team so they can plan and deliver their best work has proven successful, producing consistent year-over-year (YoY) growth – with Appfire growing from $10M ARR in 2019 to $200M ARR in 2023.

What’s our secret sauce?

  1. We follow teams. We do our research and build software that solves real-life collaboration challenges while being easy to implement and a joy to use. We’re proud to support over 20,000 customers and growing, including 55% of the Fortune 500. From the entertainment delivered by Netflix to the devices crafted by Samsung, and Dell Technologies and the financial transactions handled by Visa, Edward Jones, and US Bank, Appfire’s technology is indispensable. Our products also play a pivotal role in streamlining operations and fostering innovation at companies like Tesla and significant institutions such as NASA, Boeing, and many more.
  2. We enhance. We don’t compete. Our software is designed to give developers, knowledge workers, and teams the ability to extend and get greater value from the platforms they’ve invested in and enjoy. So far, our solutions extend and enhance the capabilities offered by Atlassian, Microsoft, monday.com, and Salesforce.
  3. We build bridges and invest in our partners. Appfire's success is underscored by the fact that the company has no direct sales team and instead leverages its channel program as its primary path to market. Today, Appfire has a dedicated Channel team supporting 700+ channel partners.
  4. We make security and privacy a priority, but we also keep it simple for our customers. We’ve achieved International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001 and ISO 27017 and System and Organization Controls (SOC) SOC 2, Type I and SOC 2, Type II certifications. In 2022, we launched our award-winning Appfire Trust Center, offering our customers, partners, and prospects the latest security, privacy, and compliance information, including pre-completed questionnaires (CAIQ, SIG, and VSA) with an accelerated NDA process and just one EULA to cover it all.

Market recognition

Appfire has been consistently recognized for company growth, culture, corporate social responsibility, and product excellence and has been included among the Deloitte Technology Fast 500, Inc.
