Summary

We are seeking experienced software testers to conduct a structured, end-to-end quality assurance review of an AI-powered platform for voice, audio transcription, voice cloning, content animation and multilingual media creation. The platform supports English and selected Nigerian languages, including Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo and Nigerian Pidgin. Testing will cover usability, functionality, output quality, performance, error handling and the overall user experience across desktop and mobile environments. This is a short-term, fixed-scope engagement ahead of a major product release. Selected testers will work with a detailed test tracker containing predefined scenarios, expected outcomes and reporting requirements. We are hiring testers under two distinct tracks. Applicants should apply only for the track that best matches their experience.
