We are looking for a Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer to monitor, inspect, and implement measures to improve Bamboo’s products and processes, ensuring they meet established quality standards.

As a QA Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and executing testing strategies, identifying and resolving quality issues, and ensuring seamless integration within our testing framework. You will collaborate with engineering and product technical leads to develop a deep understanding of system architecture, define acceptance tests, and automate them to enhance efficiency. Additionally, you will track key quality assurance metrics, such as defect densities and open defect counts, to drive continuous improvement.

You will lead efforts to ensure tests run smoothly and efficiently, directing broken tests to the responsible engineers for prompt resolution. Working alongside a team of QA analysts, you will optimize testing processes and contribute to improving the overall quality of engineering at Bamboo.

Ultimately, your role will be critical in ensuring that our software runs smoothly, meets client needs, and adheres to cost-effective quality standards. If you have an engineering background and a passion for delivering high-quality software, we’d love to hear from you

What you will be doing:

• You will conceptualise appropriate acceptance tests and automate them within our integration testing framework.
  
• Perform manual & automated testing to ensure they are running smoothly and quickly. Also ensure that broken tests are rapidly directed to the responsible engineers for correction.
  
• Create test plans, test scripts, defect logs, and test summary reports for each project/feature.
  
• Using 1:1s to provide coaching and mentorship to guide a team of QA Analysts and testers, come up with structures to help prioritise work, increase their impact, and make sure nobody feels burnt out.
  
• Maintain documentation of risk analysis, test cases, progress, and results
  
• Develop standards and procedures to determine product quality and release readiness
  
• Discover bugs within software and proactively identify infrastructural issues
  
• Drive innovation and streamline overall testing processes
  
• Identify, isolate, and track bugs throughout testing

• Proactively work with other team members as needed to resolve issues and meet project goals
  
• Identify new ideas, tools, and process improvements to help the team meet objectives
  
• Use customer understanding and knowledge of the relevant technologies to measure the quality of a better product/service
