QAEs quickly gain domain knowledge and work with developers in a test-driven development environment. This means that our QAEs co-exist and collaborate regularly with developers to create tests at many different levels of visibility and coverage. Having a broad skill set is important, but the desire to expand that skill set, through new technologies and experiences, is even more essential. QAEs are assertive and extremely motivated individuals who have excellent analytical and communication skills and are continually taking on new professional and technical challenges.

  • Steer the team towards collaborative, cohesive testing that results in the highest quality software.
  • Foster an environment where automated integration, load tests, performance testing, and UI tests are comprehensive to ensure the quality of a large-scale system.
  • Execute manual testing to ensure production readiness and create automated UI and integration tests.
  • Design tests that clearly convey the business rules and code they are checking (i.e., manual User Story tests or Automated E2E Tests) so that both business users and developers can understand their intentions.
  • Have the leading voice in whether or not a feature or release candidate is in a solid enough state to go to production.
  • Play the role of the "voice of the user," providing testing and usability feedback to developers and business users early in the iteration to guide development.
