To achieve our mission, and serve our users, we need a QA engineer who can support our software testing efforts and help our users navigate the web safely. You'll be joining a small, collaborative team and you'll have the opportunity to impact the strategic direction of our products, which include our ad blockers, VPN, and future products.
You’ll be working primarily on our AdBlock and Adblock Plus browser extensions, collaborating closely with other cross-functional teams that include engineers, product designers, product managers, and other QA engineers. When not busy testing new features and releases, writing automated tests or creating and managing test cases, you will use your previous experience to propose suggestions for improving your team’s processes. You’re an excellent communicator and, just like your future colleagues, you value collaboration, embrace new challenges and care deeply about the team’s needs.
While you will be joining a team with an already established QA process, the idea is for you to eventually take over leading and owning all-things-QA in the team, while continuing to make the process even better.
We are a globally distributed team that spans many time zones. In this role you’ll be supporting a team based primarily in Europe; however, you’ll be expected to collaborate with colleagues in North America. This means some late-evening (7 pm CET) or early-morning (7AM PST) meetings a few times per week.
What You'll Do:
- Review functional and design specifications before they go into implementation to point out possible problems
- Write and maintain test cases
- Test new features and releases- doing both exploratory and scripted testing
- Contribute to our automation and CI pipeline
- Maintain and contribute to our documentation
- Figure out ways how to improve our test strategy
- Own and lead all QA processes in the team
- Advocate for quality in all steps of the product development cycle.
You Have:
- At least 3 years of experience working as a QA engineer in software development
- Experience owning QA processes in a team
- Solid understanding of QA processes, approaches, methodologies and software development lifecycle
- Basic knowledge of Selenium or other automation frameworks
- Basic knowledge of CI/CD pipelines
- Basic knowledge of JavaScript
- Knowledge of source code management tools like Git
- Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills; you enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams
- Experience working remotely
Bonus Points For:
- Knowledge of scripting languages
- Experience testing browser extensions
- Experience collaborating remotely using asynchronous communication methods in a distributed team
- Experience testing mobile apps and/or native Windows and macOS apps
- Experience with automated testing for mobile apps, in-app payments, account management systems
- Familiarity with Selenium Webdriver or webdriverIO
- Experience working in a start-up and/or in a cross-functional team
