💰 $21M Venture Round on 2022-10

Description

• As a quality champion, you will hold your engineering team(s) accountable for meeting the right release quality bar in the following ways: • Weighing in early in the dev cycle (during the design process), to identify rabbit-holes and potential problems in areas like performance, security, usability, and unintended cascading breakage in adjacent areas — before code is written • Developing test plans, quality-related procedures (like bug bashes, defect triage, etc.), and documentation that support developers as they build new features • Writing automated tests at multiple layers of the pyramid (unit, integration, e2e) with the goal of always shifting defect detection as far left as possible • Coordinating with other teams to communicate how your teams’ work will impact their work — before it is merged • Conducting exploratory testing and root cause analysis as needed, and mentoring others in this skill • Exercising excellent judgement to identify and negotiate quality trade-offs that will inevitably arise in a software development environment that’s highly responsive to customer demand • Working with your fellow engineers to develop first class quality metrics that align with overall quality strategy, with a focus on monitoring and observability

Requirements

• Knowledge of industry-standard quality engineering practices, along with solid opinions on when it’s OK to break the rules / dispense with conventional wisdom • 3+ years of experience writing test automation at the unit and integration layer of the pyramid for a React-based or React-like web application using any of the following: • Mocha • Jest • Cypress • Playwright • Creatively implementing shift left methodologies that demonstratively led to higher code quality • Proven ability to mentor engineers in best practices around quality assurance practices in general and/or test automation specifically • Nice to haves — experience maintaining CI/CD pipelines that make use of: • Github Actions (or similar) declarative pipelines • Contract testing • Visual regression testing, either homegrown or 3rd party • API endpoint testing • Load and/or performance testing • Log analysis with a tool like: Datadog, Kibana, or Prometheus • Docker, Kubernetes • Most importantly, you are a true Onebriefer: • You are obsessed with creating value for real users • You are ambitious, scrappy, and a creative problem-solver • You learn quickly, work iteratively, and naturally seek collaboration • You approach your work with integrity, intellectual honesty, and a low ego • You communicate frankly, clearly, and succinctly • You thrive as a self-starter, embracing autonomy and ambiguity • You are a U.S. citizen
