🚀 We’re on a mission to make real estate transactions smarter, faster, and friction-free.

🏢 Real estate is the world’s largest asset class, yet the legal processes and tools behind it remain slow, manual, and underinvested. Lawyers must review dense documents line by line and piece together information across silos, all while clients demand faster, more transparent due diligence.

🤖 That's where we come in. Orbital Copilot is the AI assistant built exclusively for commercial real estate law. Developed with former practicing real estate lawyers, it accelerates complex due diligence by up to 70% while delivering legal-grade precision.

💰 We’ve just raised a $60m Series B to accelerate our UK/US expansion.

🤝 We're trusted by leading firms like Goodwin and BCLP to remove the busywork so legal teams can focus on what they do best: applying sharp legal judgment, delivering standout client service, and getting deals over the line faster.

💡 Working at Orbital means joining a team that's reimagining how real estate transactions get done - moving fast, working collaboratively, and giving people the ownership to make a real impact from day one.

Role Overview 🔎

We're looking for a QA Engineer (Contract) to join our Product Engineering team and take ownership of quality on a new product currently in active development. You'll be hands-on from day one, executing manual testing, building out automation coverage, and providing clear defect reporting that directly shapes engineering priorities.

You'll get a chance to: 👩‍💻👨‍💻

• Execute functional, regression, and exploratory testing across a greenfield product

• Design and maintain test cases and plans based on product requirements and engineering specs

• Build and maintain an automated test suite using tools like Playwright, Cypress, or similar

• Integrate automated tests into the pipeline for continuous quality feedback

• Log, triage, and track defects with clear reproduction steps, severity ratings, and supporting evidence

• Produce concise QA status reports for the Head of Product Engineering and the wider team

• Contribute to sprint ceremonies and influence acceptance criteria from a quality perspective

You should apply if: ✍️

• You have proven experience in both manual and automated QA testing on software products in active development

• You're comfortable writing and maintaining automated test scripts (Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or equivalent)

• You write clear, structured defect reports and test cases that engineers can act on immediately

• You have experience with defect tracking tools (Jira, Linear, or similar) and understand CI/CD pipelines

• You can work autonomously in a fast-moving environment with minimal hand-holding

It would also be nice if you have:

• Experience with API testing (Postman or similar)

• Familiarity with developer tools and log reading for debugging context

• Experience on an early-stage or greenfield product

🔒 Security is everyone’s responsibility at Orbital. We ask all team members to follow our security policies, complete regular awareness training, and handle sensitive data with care in line with ISO 27001 standards. Spot something unusual? Reporting risks or incidents quickly helps us maintain the strong culture of security and compliance we all depend on.

💡 At Orbital, we’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We especially welcome applications from people who are traditionally underrepresented in tech. Even if you don’t meet every single requirement, or if the right role isn’t listed yet, we’d still love to hear from you.

💰 This hiring range is a reasonable estimate of the base pay range for this position at the time of posting. Pay is based on several factors, which may include job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and business requirements.
