Testers are 1st class citizens of the product development process, not an afterthought. Our testers are part of the creative process all the way from inception to shipping.

Requirements

• What kind of things will you be doing on a project?
• Participating in sketching sessions
• Writing automation tests in XCTest and XCUITest
• Pairing with developers when needed to fix bugs
• Participating in and eventually leading BDD and Example Mapping sessions
• Exploratory and manual testing
• Pairing with UI and UX designers to ensure the product meets our client expectations

• Exploring the product from a user perspective
• Maintaining tools and building systems related to the project

Who Are We Looking for?

• We consider a natural curiosity for how systems work, an eye for detail, and a methodical approach as the fundamental baseline for testers.
• We strongly believe in cross discipline collaboration and have found that BDD is the best (but not the only) process for getting the whole team to sit down and talk before implementing new stories or features. Testers champion the BDD process and use it as a base for whatever automation might be necessary.
• We are looking for testers comfortable reading and writing in Swift and Java. 3+ years experience testing with current UI automation and exploratory testing tools.
• Any extra knowledge about CI / CD servers, platform specific development tools, device farms, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
