JOB DESCRIPTION:
As a Software Test Engineer, you will utilize your experience and technical expertise to make your mark in our software development’s life cycle. Relish the chance to create an impact in this key role where you will liaise with talented engineers and business experts. Your understanding of end to end testing life cycle will see you liaise seamlessly with a broad cross-section of colleagues, product owners and stakeholders, and contribute to process implementation improvements for advice delivery.
You will work closely with Software Engineers, DevOps, and Product Managers within existing product teams to deliver high-quality software releases.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES:
Expand our existing test automation framework and test coverage.
Develop new tests and tools for our core products, backend APIs and services, and CI/CD pipelines.
Collaborate with product and development teams to understand how new features should be tested and to contribute to automated tests for these new features.
Collaborate with engineers to define and implement mechanisms to inject testing earlier into the software development process.
Identify, Share, and nurture the adoption of best practices in code health, testing, testability, and maintainability in collaboration with the wider Quality Engineering department. You should champion clean code and the concept of the test pyramid.
Analyzing complex software systems and collaborating with others to improve the overall design, testability, and quality.
Striving for the fastest feedback possible. Test parallelization should be a top priority. You see distributed systems as a core challenge of good test automation infrastructure.
