We’re on the search for a motivated and experienced Manual QA Engineer ready to join our QA team in building and supporting our Plytix PIM. Our QA team is based in Malaga, but if you do your best work from the comfort of your own home or even from a different city, no problem—the location doesn’t matter, you do!
What is Plytix?
This is where you’d typically see a long paragraph of boring text that no one reads, peppered with corporate buzzwords that don’t mean anything. But Plytix is no typical company, so we’ll spare you that. Instead, watch this video, and if you like what you see, keep scrolling.
What´s the opportunity?
This is your chance to play a part in building a leading multichannel platform, while working with diverse talent and innovative technology. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute to the growth of an ever-expanding scale-up with your ideas and testing experience.
What will you be doing?
A day in the life of a Plytix Quality Assurance Engineer is an exciting one. You’ll be collaborating on compelling challenges, like taking an active role in Test Case design and execution. Your days will be filled with making sure that the platform is scalable and robust. You’ll need to ensure code is implemented, following the latest design patterns and best practices, to accomplish functional and non-functional benchmarks. You’ll have scrum ceremonies to stay on the same page as your fellow developers and QA, from retrospective meetings to sprint planning. All in all, you’ll be a busy bee. But don’t worry, there’ll always be time to crack open a beer and have fun!
After 1 month:
You’ll have a good understanding of our favorite tools and processes. You’ll be involved in QA activities while learning about the testing process throughout the development life cycle. You’ll begin executing validation and regression tests and will be able to design test cases in a proper format.
After 3 months:
At this point you’re becoming a true Plytix QA, guiding the testing strategy. You're planning the manual testing strategy with your colleagues while also working more independently. You are confident enough to take part in peer reviews together with developers. You still have some supervision, but at this point, you are comfortable with what you are doing. You are participating in sprints and beginning to integrate well into the team workflow.
6 months in:
You’re an important team player. You work as well (and as fast) as any other team member! You’re collaborating with other departments to find the best possible solutions so that our system is the best on the market. You’re designing and prioritizing functional and non-functional tests for their later execution. By now you are confident in your role, reviewing and approving other quality engineers (always following our standards, of course!).
Who will you be working with?
You'll be working closely with our other Quality Engineers to deliver software with high-quality standards. You'll be collaborating with developers, product specialists (they’ll help you define functional and non-functional requirement releases), and the tech team.
