WHAT YOU WILL DO

• You will be working as part of a team of experienced software development professionals in a team that has a healthy ‘continuous improvement’ mindset, and you are expected to be part of that culture.
• You will be working closely with Product Managers, developers, and other QA engineers to define and execute test cases (both for automated and manual execution), verify new product features during story development, and create regression test cases where needed. Our engineering workflows put emphasis on “building in” quality and you will be involved with all phases of development, from design to implementation to delivery.
• You will recommend test priorities, assess quality risks, report on test progress and raise issues as required. Depending on experience, skill and desire, you will be able to shape and influence your role and duties within the team.
