Quality Assurance Engineer
About us
Did you know that 2/3 of every thing that you buy is brought to you by a Truck? Yet, over 80% of the trucking fleets survive on razor thin margins. They cannot expand or grow because of chronic driver shortages.
We are industry veterans who have seen these problems from the sidelines and wanted to do our part in fixing it. And we did by launching our company.
We know that trucking is not a glamorous industry. Rather than build yet another social app, we are bent upon bringing the Silicon Valley ingenuity into the old world of trucking and logistics.
We believe we are just getting started with an innovative product offering in this field. If you are interested in being part of “The Third Wave” as author Steve Case calls it in his book, you should join our small but highly motivated team.
Description
We are looking for a Quality Assurance (QA) engineer to develop and execute exploratory and automated tests to ensure product quality.
QA engineer responsibilities include designing and implementing tests, debugging and defining corrective actions. You will also review system requirements and track quality assurance metrics (e.g. defect densities and open defect counts.)
The QA engineer role plays an important part in our company’s product development process. Our ideal candidate will be responsible for conducting tests before product launches to ensure software runs smoothly and meets customer needs, while being cost-effective.
If you hold an engineering background and enjoy providing end-to-end solutions to software quality problems, we’d like to meet you.
Ultimately, you should monitor all stages of software development to identify and resolve system malfunctions to meet quality standards.
In specific, job duties include:
- Review requirements, specifications and technical design documents to provide timely and meaningful feedback
- Create detailed, comprehensive and well-structured test plans and test cases based on the BDD and TDD test methodology
- Estimate, prioritize, plan and coordinate testing activities
- Design, develop and execute automation scripts using open source tools like Jasmine
- Identify, record, document thoroughly and track bugs in Jira
- Perform thorough regression testing when bugs are resolved
- Develop and apply testing processes for new and existing products to meet customer needs
- Liaise with internal teams to identify system requirements
- Monitor debugging process results
- Investigate the causes of non-conforming software and train users to implement solutions
- Track quality assurance metrics, like defect densities and open defect counts
- Stay up-to-date with new testing tools and test strategies

- Knowledge of JavaScript is a must

- Experience in writing clear, concise and comprehensive test plans and test cases
