Overview
Our Quality Assurance team of talented software engineers are designing and implementing frameworks for creating, running, and reporting the results of automated testing against our wide range of video related products and services. This is a challenging opportunity for the creative, problem-solving software engineer who already has or wants to gain a QA mindset.
This is NOT record-and-playback scripting but rather complex automation of backend processes and front end UI. This is about building a robust testing ecosphere across multiple products and then leveraging it to ensure excellent quality before we release to our customers. It also involves hands-on installation, configuration, and troubleshooting of hardware in our QA Laboratory.
You can expect to...
Join a close team which works together as part of a rigorous code-review and design-review process (we are QA so there is no one checking our work but ourselves).
Install, configure, and troubleshoot video and networking hardware.
Create smart and reliable automated testing, but also perform manual testing as necessary to become a subject matter expert, fulfilling testing requirements until a feature is automated.
Identify and design test cases for both front-end and back-end testing.
Interface with product developers (and/or their code) to learn about inner workings and/or report bugs.
Required:
Bachelor's degree or higher in a computer or engineering discipline.
