This role plays an important part in our company's product development process.

Attention to detail is one of our core values! This is your chance to stand out :)

To love this role, here's the type of person you are:

• You're a self-starter who loves taking initiative and seeing things through from conception to completion.
• You're an excellent communicator, fluent in both verbal and written English, who makes sure nothing slips through the cracks. We believe communication is critical and there is no such thing as over-communicating.
• You take pride in the quality and craftsmanship of your work rather than just doing it to get it done - with attention to detail.
• You love mentoring your peers and helping them "level up" just as much as testing code.
• You are comfortable giving critical feedback to peers (respectfully and productively) and also don't take feedback given personally.
• You're happy working on tasks of all sizes.

Common responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

• Review requirements, specifications, and technical design documents to provide timely and meaningful feedback.

• Estimate, prioritize, plan and perform testing activities.
• Identify, record, document thoroughly, and track bugs.
• Develop and apply testing processes for new and existing products to meet client needs.
• Liaise with internal teams to identify system requirements, improve development procedures.
• Participate in feature discussions and provide feedback before the task is prepared for the developer to ensure there are no unanswered or unnoticed questions/concerns.

Requirements

• Proven work experience in web software quality assurance, 3+ years.
• Strong knowledge of QA methodologies, tools, and processes.
• Good knowledge of software development methodology and software lifecycle processes.
• Ability to keep complex ideas and features simple. (Simplicity is a core value!)
• Experience in writing clear, concise, and comprehensive test plans and test cases.
• Experience with Git and working with different branches.
• Testing 3rd-party integrations (payment and marketing providers).
• English at the upper intermediate level or higher.
• Previous freelance or remote work experience.
• Personal Computer with Internet Access
• Available for occasional video/ audio meetings outside of working hours to overlap with different timezones.
  
• Bonus points if you also have:
• Experience with WordPress.
• Experience with performance and/or security testing.
• Knowledge and practical experience with MySQL and database structure.
• ISTQB certificate.
• Experience in Test Automation.
