JUNIOR Quality Assurance Tester
This position is for entry-level/junior level candidates.
Who is Crown Data Systems?
Crown is a leader in the air freight shipping industry. We provide state of the art software to first/last mile shipping agents. We've been developing software for shipping companies for 20 years. Our company values work/life balance, modern engineering/development practices & technology, Agile development, deployment, and sales, and creating quality products for our customers. Our remote Agile team is collaborative, learning focused, and merit based. We want to find other like-minded engineers who are focused on best practices with modern technology.
The Position
Crown Data Systems is looking to add a 6 month contract to hire, remote, position for an ENTRY LEVEL to JUNIOR QA Test Engineer to our cross-functional Agile team. We're looking for candidates who are authorized to work in the US with native level English in the Eastern or Central time zones. Candidates must have recent experience in either testing, development, or engineering work. Individuals must have experience automating tests with testing frameworks. Candidates with Selenium experience are highly desirable for this position. You should have at least some relevant systems experience as QA environments are maintained by testers in our process. Salary is negotiable and dependent on experience and fit. We offer a 401K with match, health/dental benefits, 15 days of paid PTO, and employer provided hardware for performing your job. You'll be joining a development team with programmers, testers, and a product owner and will be an active member of the Agile team.
The Team
We are a diverse and inclusive team that want to solve the difficult (and fun) technical problems at this business. We work almost as if we are together in one room by using video calls to help each other out, discuss architecture options, and pair program. If a developer is having trouble with a user story, the team works together to unblock and help execute it.
You will help the team understand, plan, execute, test, and deploy user stories from our product backlog. The team is mainly focused on executing user stories and not supporting production, though some production support does creep in. Consistently, the applications & features we work on are high impact for end users and directly contribute to the company's overall goals.
We've embraced a DevOps culture where the development team creates infrastructure as code, tests in-team with manual, unit, and automated integration tests, and is responsible for our own deployments. We use Google Meet and Slack to connect us using text, audio, and video. Kanban is our development methodology.
Due to the remote nature of this position, work time is dedicated to learning and growing. We learn together as a team by doing coding challenges and readings. The team has a big say in what sort of learning we do next and helps pick challenges and books to read. The ideal candidate will want to learn how to perform automated testing in order to eventually move away from manual testing and start engineering test solutions.
Our Technology
We are mostly focused on our newer products and tech stack, but we do need to support the older applications from time to time. Our modern tech stack uses C# to build backend services that integrate our legacy and current software products. We use Angular for all of our customer-facing UIs. Almost all of our automation is done using PowerShell. Our legacy tech stack uses C# and VB with desktop, web, and backend services. We use a wide array of Azure services to accomplish our business goals using both PaaS and IaaS.
Job Responsibilities
- Work with development team members and stakeholders to understand application requirements and create test cases that match those requirements.
- Participate in the Agile team meetings as an active participant.
- Create and execute manual test cases for legacy products.
- Work with engineers to maintain the QA test environments.
- Understand the functionality in Crown applications and ensure that new features adhere to existing standards and is compatible with existing feature sets.
- Validate development changes against business requirements.
Skills
- Must have native-level U.S. English proficiency.
- Attention to detail is paramount.
- Must be willing to learn to code in C#.
- Team player who’s able to work in a collaborative development group.
- Dedication towards continual improvement.
- Demonstrates ability to learn new technologies.
- Azure experience is a plus.
