• Design and manage comprehensive test plans for each feature release 

• Work to identify root causes of issues and partner with engineering team members to resolve

• Act as the technical test resource to project teams, ensuring reported defects and feature requests have the information required to address and resolve them

• Document and manage the process for reporting production defects

• Act as liaison between engineering and other departments to determine next steps and communicate defect status

• Work effectively within a team environment, regularly solicit and act on feedback, focus on root causes, and continually strive to improve

• Collaborate naturally with peers and functions outside of engineering, and with peers who are both remote and co-located in the UK, US and EU

What we are looking for:

• Functional/regression testing design and execution experience using multiple techniques such as test automation, exploratory testing, testing in production, and others.

• Experience with testing strategies and automation of Mobile products (Android and iOS)

• Working knowledge of Swift and Kotlin or other development experience

• Experience with mobile automation tools such as Espresso, XCUITests, or Appium

• Experience with testing internal and external APIs and working with Service-Oriented applications

• Ability to debug and troubleshoot problems, not simply identify them

• Demonstrated knowledge of software engineering in testing within agile processes; how QE can help software teams deliver greater business value

• Mobile Automated and performance testing experience

• Experience testing on multiple devices, browsers, apps and platforms

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal

• Experience with agile development processes such as Lean/Scrum/Kanban/XP

• Familiarity with flow-based development processes and releasing apps into the App/Play Store

• Solid professional experience in a similar role
