Tymeshift is recruiting a QA Engineer 

The workforce management solution built for the modern age is growing the Engineering team in Portugal!

About:  Gone are the days of call centers and the old-school software that ran them. Today, customers expect to communicate on their terms through the channels they love, like email, live chat, and social. Companies use modern platforms like Zendesk to make this possible. There's only one problem — workforce management tools haven't evolved alongside customer service tools. This leaves customers stuck working in spreadsheets or apps that feel like they were made for Windows 98. Enter, Tymeshift.
