Senior QA Engineer

What We Do

We help organizations adopt, govern and manage Microsoft 365 with beautiful, compelling and innovative software. Our Orchestry tool is a leading platform that manages over 500,000 Microsoft teams each month across multiple customers, geographies and verticals.

How Are We Different?

Orchestry isn't just a run-of-the-mill Microsoft partner that is creating a product on the side. We are 100% a product-led organization that values innovation and best practices from inside and outside of Microsoft to create great software. We have long-lasting relationships with partners and customers. We are fearless and innovative. We believe that there is too much poor, un-intuitive software built for Microsoft 365 administrators and users. Our goal is to change that.

Who We Are

We only hire and want to work with the best in the world. Our team is composed of Microsoft MVPs, founders of successful startups and those with a burning desire to make a difference. Headquartered in Canada we don't care who you are or where you live. If you want to build a great career and work with the best then get in touch.
