Job Description

Your Career

We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic technical leader to join our Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP) team as a QA Lead. Our DLP service is the industry's first cloud-delivered Enterprise DLP that consistently protects sensitive data across all networks, clouds and users. This fast-growing cloud service prevents data breaches by identifying sensitive data consistently throughout the entire enterprise. In this role, you will be reviewing the current state of QA/automation, coming up with an overall testing and automation strategy for the product,  analyzing and testing new features and bug fixes. You need to have a passion for improving the overall quality and productivity of the teams. All this is in a fast pace, agile-based process of development, testing, and release.

We expect office-based employees to be in the office four days per week, with one day working from where they choose. We believe being together facilitates casual conversations and those magic moments where we can work on issues and ideas informally. These moments build capability and deepen trusted relationships and allow our people to feel safe in taking risks and being disruptive. Like so many companies, we are working through the details and things could change …. but in general if a role is deemed office-based we want our teams to be together four days per week.

Your Impact

• Be the QA lead for the product team and guide the QA team (contractors as well as FTEs) to deliver robust/reliable automation for the product
• Collaborate closely with the product management, architects and devops to achieve quality releases
• Design and execute tests for new features or major redesign of existing features
• Lead execution QA cycles on a tight release schedule
• Learn about security solutions and technologies
• Debug issues in complex environments

Qualifications

Your Experience

• 10+ years of software testing experience
• Experience writing testing documents and knowledge of various testing methodologies
• Experience with both frontend and backend testing of cloud-based services
• Proficiency with Python and familiarity with Java, Javascript and golang
• Experience with Agile development process and embrace Agile methodologies
• Self-learner and ability to learn new technologies and methodologies in a relatively short time
• Cloud Experience (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure)
• Strong believer of automation test
• Can-do attitude on problem-solving, quality and ability to execute
• Experience with pytest would be a strong plus

If you are looking for an exciting opportunity to kickstart your career in software testing, we encourage you to apply for this role. We offer a supportive and collaborative work environment, as well as opportunities for career growth and development.
