THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Quality Assurance Engineer to work with our development team, who will help manage the team's responsibility towards quality in our codebase before it is delivered to our production environment for our clients to use.

• Work closely with the full team in order to refine all tickets with acceptance criteria and test criteria

• Move responsibility of testing away from a QA bottleneck to encourage a whole team ownership of the release of features to production

• Work in an agile environment delivering to production daily

• Continuously improving, from your own self learning to company wide processes

• Collaborate with the team and the QA Practice to improve processes and make sure the highest quality of code reaches production
