Software Quality Assurance Engineer

Description:

Megaport is looking for an energetic, independent, self-managing Software QA Engineer to create and run manual and automated testing on the in-house developed software systems. There are many active software projects ongoing, so this is a great opportunity to get involved at the requirements gathering stage to ensure high quality delivery from the very start.

We are looking for someone who leaps out of bed and says “give me your API, and I shall break it, so you can make it better”; someone who doesn’t stop at making sure the UI is functional, but also that it is usable, performant, and accessible. The right person will champion automation, not just “automate all the things”, but considerate and thoughtful automation.

What You’ll Be Doing

• The primary focus of this role is to work as a member of the development team to maintain and improve the quality of the systems being deployed.
• Understand requirements, specifications, and how Megaport products work in general as the basis for formulating effective automated and manual tests.
• Create and maintain comprehensive and effective test plans and test cases.
• Design, implement and maintain automated test suites.
• Stay up to date with new testing tools and test strategies.
   

What We Are Looking For

• Extensive experience testing web applications and APIs.
• 5+ year’s experience in software quality assurance.
• Extensive experience with applying QA within agile (lower case a) delivery.
• A fast learner with self-drive, initiative and inquisitiveness that can pick up a task or project and drive it relentlessly to completion.
• Comprehensive experience with testing tools / frameworks like Postman, Cucumber, Playwright or Katalon.
• Productive in one or two scripting languages and/or testing frameworks.
• Demonstrated technical capability (such as reading code, exploring a relational database).
• Experience with Java, JIRA, Confluence, Git, Continuous integration tools.
• An agile mindset with the ability to work in a transparent and collaborative manner.
• Knowledge of Telco and networking industry products and processes will be well regarded.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
