About the position

We are looking for our first QA engineer who are comfortable developing, implementing testing processes and methodologies and tools to identify and address any issues or defects in the features and products we want to release. They are responsible for coordinating and conducting tests to ensure the software runs smoothly and meets client needs.

The ideal candidate will have proven experience as a QA tester or similar role, an understanding of project management and QA methodology, and excellent communication skills.

We primarily write in Ruby and deploy to AWS, so understanding how to conduct testing and QA in these environments will be vital. Familiarity with Ruby is not a requirement for this role, as the company is happy to invest time and resources for you to learn.

Responsibilities

  • Assist in establishing a scalable QA process and methodology that integrates seamlessly with the development process and aims to minimize the occurrence of issues, bugs, or usability problems that could adversely affect our users
  • Work closely with development teams, product managers and other stakeholders to understand technical requirements and provide input on design considerations
  • Work with teams to develop a test plan appropriate for the scope and scale of the project.
  • Test case design and execution
  • Identify, document and prioritize defects and issues
  • Collaborate with the development team providing detail information on the circumstances of the defect and potential solutions

Requirements

  • Proven experience as a QA tester or similar role
  • Experience in project management and QA methodology
  • Ability to document and troubleshoot errors
  • Hands on experience with automated testing tools like Selenium or Cypress and RSpec
  • Experience working in agile/scrum development process
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Excellent communication skills

Compensation

8 to 12 million JPY annually.

Includes (rough estimate of) profit share. Based on experience and skill level.

Hiring Process

  1. 1

    Initial Screening

    Your application will be reviewed by our engineers. Rather than just your work history, we’re looking for something that demonstrates a passion for programming. This could be a personal project or open source contributions for instance. We want to work with people who love their trade, and work to improve their skills.

  2. 2

    Two interviews

    We’ll ask you to present to us something that you’ve built and can speak passionately about. Our engineers will then ask you open ended questions about what you’ve built. We’ve found this approach allows you to highlight your strengths to us, and demonstrate how you’d fit into the team.

  3. 3

    Offer

    After you pass two rounds of interviews, we’ll typically make an offer.
