What you'll be doing:
You will be embedded within a cross-functional, Agile Engineering team and be present during all Agile activities, including sprint planning. You will be working closely with the Product Manager and Engineers during 3-amigo sessions to refine the user stories, write test scenarios, provide estimates, and ensure that the acceptance criteria are well defined.
As a Quality Engineer, you will be the quality expert within the team and will coach and champion a Shift-left, test-first mindset during design and story breakdown, as well as weighing in on testing strategies and providing guidance and coaching within your agile team and the wider engineering community.
You will perform hands-on exploratory testing and support your team across the full software development lifecycle from requirements to release. Currently, our Engineers use WebdriverIO to automate tests, Postman to test APIs, and Jest for unit and integration testing.
What we need from you:
Experience in representing quality in an Agile environment is crucial. You should be able to describe your input to Agile ceremonies and the entire SDLC in past roles as well as how you have helped to shape a test-first mentality.
Experience working with requirements from a member of a Product team, and collaboratively documented acceptance criteria and test scenarios.
Familiarity of exploratory testing new features and changes in products. You must be able to describe an interesting and unexpected issue that you have discovered through exploratory testing.
You need to be conversant on differing levels of technical expertise, such as nontechnical discussions with Product Design or technical conversations with fellow Engineers and be able to push back respectfully where you feel it is necessary.
Experience updating or evangelising a test strategy, as well as being able to give examples of methods or tooling that you helped to implement to improve efficiency and quality.
We value Quality Engineers who share our growth mindset and are eager to learn! We'd love for you to describe the steps you recently took to proactively learn a new skill or tool.
