What we are looking for

You will be an evangelist for quality assurance internally and with clients, keeping up to date with QA best practice and innovation. You will have a natural curiosity, explorative nature, pragmatic approach, and an urge to ‘break-things’. These qualities will lead you to resolve issues and, combined with strong technical knowledge and logic, help define the root cause.

We are looking for someone who has a mixture of manual and automated test experience and is happy to-do both within the role. You will need to have strong communication skills, both written and verbal, and be able to work well within a team.

Required skills & experience:

• Proficient in English, written and verbal.
• 4 years ‘hands on’ QA industry experience.
• Experience testing complex, enterprise level CMS builds, bespoke web applications, APIs and Native apps as well as more simple quick turn-around projects.
• High level understanding of systems architecture in order to triage and diagnose issues.
• Ability to read and understand errors messages, stack traces and logs.
• An understanding of BDD, and how to use it as a framework.
• Willingness to explore and understand complex systems, find bugs and not necessarily follow a script/plan.
• Test case management tools such as XRay.
• Ability to write test scripts and create test data.
• Demonstrable knowledge of automated testing using existing services, libraries and frameworks.
• Ability to test APIs using tools like Postman.
• Experience of working in a fast, agile environment.
• Exposure to agile and waterfall delivery methods.
• Experience working within JIRA and Confluence.
• A desire to be part of the Tangent family and grow with us.
