Cutover has built the world's first enterprise-wide work orchestration and observability platform that enables seamless human and machine collaboration. In 2021, we announced a $35 million Series B financing round led by Eldridge (alongside existing investors Index Ventures, Sussex Place Ventures, and Contour Ventures) and we're thrilled to be embarking on our next exciting chapters of growth.

We're scaling our Technology organisation in a big way in 2022 and we're super keen to bring some more QA talent into the team. We'd love to find an enthusiastic QA Engineer who is excited to help build a best-in-class product that our customers can't live without.
