About the role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Quality Engineer to help our product & engineering teams release changes of higher quality, with more confidence.

You’ll be working very closely with stream-aligned, cross-functional teams to ensure that they are considering test strategy during technical design, and aligning upon effective acceptance criteria. You’ll work with the teams to add automated end-to-end test coverage for new features within sprints, so that by the time we release a change, it’s already incorporated into our test suite. From time to time, you’ll support the teams with manual testing where appropriate, and you’ll use this experience to inform new changes to our test suite and strategy.

We need your input and ownership within our QE working group, where you’ll work cross-functionally to decide how we improve our testing strategy, and how we distribute execution of this strategy across our entire team.

Reporting to our QE Manager, you’ll be working with another quality engineer on this growing team. You’ll take ownership, work independently, and receive the necessary support to excel in this role.

Due to the location of other team members, applications will only be considered from the following countries;

  • India
  • Egypt
  • South Africa
  • Sri Lanka
  • Pakistan

    • Working with the team to enhance our automation framework.
    • Adding tests to our E2E test suite to continuously improve test coverage.
    • Assisting other engineers in running and contributing to the test suite.
  • You will contribute to functional manual tests where necessary.
  • You will be part of a cross functional Agile team, with focus on enabling them to release features with fewer bugs.
  • You will play an active part in improving our testing practices and SDLC as a member of our QE working group.
  • You will be coaching fellow team members across engineering disciplines to improve their ability to contribute to improving test coverage.

  • You are able to independently solve difficult technical and presentational problems & provide solutions or work around. You ask for help when needed but try to solve things yourself.
  • You don’t let important details slip through the cracks and slow or jeopardize a release.
