About the position

To achieve faster release cycles and high quality, we are looking for a Quality Assurance professional who will constantly scrutinize what an ideal QA looks like and establish Autify’s position as an industry leader.

Responsibilities

  • Design, promote, and improve QA processes, testability, and productivity to maintain high quality without slowing down development. This includes proposing and formulating bug prevention systems.
  • Track test gaps, quality, and productivity metrics. Work with other engineering teams to improve gaps in this data.
  • Run and develop manual tests and automate tests.
  • Review product specifications, UI/UX, etc.
  • Plan the team’s quarterly OKRs, define the team’s road map, and manage the team’s priorities.
  • Understand and fill the product gaps through internal product usage and driving initiatives with the support of engineering and business teams.

Requirements

  • At least 3 years of QA experience in agile software development processes.
  • Some experience managing a team of SDETs, QA Engineers or other reports in Quality Engineering.
  • Experience working with development engineers to improve QA processes.
    • e.g.) In addition to finding bugs in the testing phase, you have taken initiatives to prevent issues earlier in the development process (such as by adding automated tests in CI and reviewing specifications by the QA staff). 
    • e.g.) You have worked with development engineers to improve the QA process to release features more frequently.
    • e.g.) You have demonstrated support for our solution direction by leveraging your understanding of the entire development cycle, software release pain points, and quality challenges, effectively translating this knowledge to benefit our customers.
    • e.g.) You have attended service specifications and UI/UX review meetings and provided suggestions for improving the software quality.
  • Experience working in teams leveraging continuous Integration systems(e.g. CircleCI, Github actions, or Jenkins).
  • Experience in setting up QA processes for entire products with E2E automation tools (Autify, Playwright, Selenium, or Appium).
  • Experience in designing tests for an entire product, including automated tests.
  • Collaborative team spirit with effective communication skills
