Quality Assurance Engineer - Automated

QA Automated Engineer I

SafeNet Consulting is searching for a Quality Assurance Engineer with a strong automated testing background.

This position will start remote and move to onsite in Milwaukee once stay-at-home is over.

**We will only consider direct hire, no third-party candidates will be considered for this client.**

As a technical, hands-on Test Engineer, your job is to participate in the manual and automation testing of various web-based projects that integrate over various systems, including: cloud-based and on-prem proprietary applications, Microsoft Outlook, mobile applications, DocuSign, and complex API and service-based integrations.

QA Engineer will be under the guidance of a Test Engineering Manager for a team with an already-established, mature testing process. Your role will be that of a “full-stack” Test Engineer - someone who has a strong appreciation and skill in manual/exploratory testing with the exceptional capability of writing automated and performance tests (time and training is allotted after hiring to learn our automation framework and language of choice – node.js).

What this role needs:

• Deep Quality Assurance experience and a passion for delivering high quality software.

• Proven examples of building automation frameworks and scripts.

• Working proficiency of at least one programming language.

• Experience using Selenium (or similar open source testing tools).

• Can move quickly and independently. Everyone here is incredibly kind and extremely willing to share knowledge and a helping hand, but you have to be willing to take ownership of the outlined goals and make things happen.

• 4+ years of experience is required.

• Needs to be comfortable with both manual and automation testing.

• We work in a Mac environment, so having Mac experience is a plus but having the ability to adapt quickly will suffice.

Desirable skills for this role:

• Understanding of Node.js, NPM Scripting, Selenium and Webdriver.io to work on our end-to-end, API and performance testing framework.

• Understanding of Git version control including branch strategy. Familiarity with GitLab, GitLab CI, Docker and Jenkins for CI/CD is preferred but not required.

• Familiarity with static code analysis, including JavaScript coding standards and linting of code. SonarQube, Checkmarks, or other static code analysis tooling experience is preferred but not required.

• Ability and confidence to peer-review code for quality, cleanliness, and general best practices.

• Understanding of client/server applications and microservice architecture, and the ability to test highly-complex integrated systems and data.

• Experience with using Fiddler or Wireshark, Postman, Browser DevTools, CLIs. Any similar experience is acceptable for manual testing and analysis needing to be performed in the role.

• Desire to work closely with an agile development team, but also collaborate regularly with other test engineers across projects to mature testing practices.
