JOB DESCRIPTION

 

This is not a black box testing position where we take requirements, turn them into test cases and then pass the tests. Unlike roles with similar names at other companies, Quality Engineers  aren't just manual testers. Everyone on the development team pitches in to do manual testing.

You will be an advocate for quality - continuously evaluating how and when testing is performed to figure out how it can be done earlier, better and faster.

You will invent new testing approaches, automate worthwhile quality checks, advocate for testability, and create tools that the team can use to improve quality.

You will understand the full scope of our product to a level beyond most of your colleagues.

 

SKILLS & REQUIREMENTS

 

• You evangelize exploratory testing, test automation.


• You love automating tests but understand the limitations of computers and the unique abilities of humans. You’ve worked with frameworks and tools like Cucumber, Protractor or webdriver.io.


• You use your knowledge of testing and testability to influence better software design, promote proper engineering practice, bug prevention strategies, testability, accessibility, security, and other advanced quality concepts.


• You appreciate working on an Agile team because it allows you to test in lockstep with the creation of the software.


• You’ve got a Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD in Computer Science or Engineering.


• You are constantly finding ways to perfect your craft, be a better teammate, and come up with cool stuff. You listen, and you know how to make your ideas be heard without turning people off.


• You are up for traveling periodically to hang out with your colleagues and get some face-to-face time.


• You know how to balance life & work, and you don’t want a job that forces you to choose between them.


• You want to work with a bunch of really smart people that love working together. You want to work for a startup with good investors and a bright future.
