Job description

Location: Sarasota, FL / Remote / Hybrid

About the Role

Truth Social is looking for a Lead QA Analyst to be the last set of human eyes on every new feature before it reaches our users. This role is about hands-on, manual exploration of the app — clicking through new flows, poking at edge cases, and thinking like a real user (and like someone trying to break things) before a feature moves from engineering to product sign-off and launch.

You won't be writing automation scripts or building test frameworks. You'll be leading a small team of testers through structured (and unstructured) manual test passes, documenting what you find, and giving product and engineering teams a clear, confident “this is ready” or “this isn't.”

What You'll Do

  • Own the testing process for new features and updates before they're approved for release
  • Design test plans and test cases based on product specs and user stories, then execute them by hand across devices
  • Lead a small team of QA testers, assigning test coverage and reviewing their findings
  • Perform exploratory testing to catch issues automated tests and spec documents miss — broken flows, confusing UX, inconsistent behavior
  • Test across iOS, Android, and web to confirm consistent look, feel, and functionality
  • Document bugs clearly (steps to reproduce, screenshots/recordings, severity) and track them through to resolution
  • Partner closely with Product Managers to understand intended behavior and sign off on feature readiness
  • Communicate testing status and outstanding risks to product and leadership ahead of each release
  • Maintain a repository of test cases and checklists for recurring feature types (posting, messaging, notifications, moderation flows, etc.)
  • Flag usability, content, and edge-case concerns that could affect the end-user experience, especially around sensitive areas like content moderation and privacy settings
  • Coordinate final pre-launch “bug bashes” with cross-functional participants ahead of major releases

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of QA/testing experience, with at least 1-2 years leading or mentoring other testers
  • Strong hands-on experience with manual, exploratory testing
  • Comfortable testing across iOS, Android, and web platforms
  • A sharp eye for detail and a knack for finding the edge cases others miss
  • Experience writing clear test plans, test cases, and bug reports that engineers and PMs can act on
  • Strong communication skills — comfortable being the person who tells a team “this isn't ready yet”
  • Experience working closely with Product teams (rather than purely within engineering)
  • Familiarity with bug tracking tools (e.g., Jira, Linear, TestRail)
  • Understanding of social media platform dynamics: feeds, posting, direct messaging, notifications, content moderation

Nice to Have

  • Experience testing content moderation or trust & safety features
  • Background in UX or usability testing
  • Familiarity with basic automation tools, even if not the primary focus of the role
  • Experience in a fast-paced startup or high-growth environment
  • Experience testing REST APIs using Postman or similar tools.

Why Join Us

  • Be the final human check on features used by a passionate, engaged user base
  • High-visibility role with direct input into what does and doesn't ship
  • Collaborative, fast-moving culture that values sharp judgment and attention to detail
  • Competitive salary and benefits package

Truth Social is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
