What's the role?

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, CRMs (Microsoft Dynamics), DocuSign, and complex API and service-based integrations.

You 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).

Your general milestones for the first year are the following:

• Within two weeks, understand the tools and processes for capturing and pulling work from a backlog, and demonstrate the ability to document and execute new and existing test scenarios.
• Within one month, understand the basics of node.js and our automation framework (written in node.js) to the point in which you can contribute basic automation tests.
• Within two months, be able to discuss high-level functionality and infrastructure of applications an services that integrate with CRMs. You should understand all basic user flows and how the technology behind it works.
• To learn node.js to working proficiency within 2 months.
• Within three months, be able to build out entire features leveraging our current automation test infrastructure (written in node.js) with minimal assistance.
• Within six months, learn basics of Scala and how it's used in our performance testing framework (leveraging Gatling).
• Within twelve months, be able to effectively build performance tests leveraging gatling with minimal assistance.
