Senior automation QA engineer

Are you ready to build great mobile and web-based applications and lead global teams with some of the brightest thought leaders, designers and technologists?

As a Sr. QA Automation Engineer, you are capable of working on a variety of development projects regardless of type and level of complexity. Whether you are on a project with no test framework or one with thousands of test cases already in place, you can provide complete and effective test strategies for the team. You are like a hunter, looking for ways to stress and test a system. By using your unique perspective, you break the code to forge a better product.

Great QA Engineers pinpoint gaps in test coverage and develop plans to fill those gaps. You are able to take what is available and build upon it to help improve the team's testing effort. You have an understanding of the importance and complexity of test automation and can build efficient solutions, decreasing overall maintenance costs. You know which of the many different types of testing to apply during different phases of the lifecycle of an application. In addition to providing feedback on current test processes, you are capable of performing any necessary testing - manual or otherwise. Your ultimate goal is always instilling confidence in the stability of an application for both your team and your customers. Whether you’re consulting across multiple projects and teams or rolling up your sleeves to dig into just one, your flexibility makes all the difference.

If you have at least 4-8 years of experience working in QA, designing and implementing automation frameworks, we have a place for you.

We’re looking for candidates with experience in the following areas:

Designing test plans and processes for new products
Mobile, mobile web and desktop web-based applications

Jenkins, Bamboo, CircleCI or comparable continuous integration systems
Javascript, Ruby, Python or other comparable languages
Cross-browser and cross-platform testing

Familiarity with database systems, both SQL and NoSQL (For example, MySQL and MongoDB)
Prior experience with setting up and installing VMs
Grasp of the command line and scripting languages (like Bash and Powershell)
Firm understanding of application development
Knowledge of third-party testing tools like Siesta
