Quality Engineer
The Opportunity:
As a Quality Engineer you'll champion quality for our platform and products to provide the best possible ticket purchasing experience for our millions of users. By acquiring an intimate understanding of our products and how our customers use them, you'll partner cross functionally to apply maximum coverage for our applications.
Our quality engineers are highly collaborative, working closely with engineers, designers, and product owners to develop effective tests and document requirements. Working in an agile team using Java, Cucumber, Selenium and Spring (along with many other testing frameworks), you'll develop and own automated testing suites, explore edge cases and drive quality for the organization. You will research and implement modern testing tools and techniques to ensure maximum coverage and constantly improve the ways we test our products.
Our quality engineers are embedded within delivery teams and use BDD to prevent defects before they are found. They execute different types of tests (including exploratory tests), assist in driving resolution and develop automated tests with an eye towards continuously assessing and improving test coverage. They also perform root cause analysis for production incidents, identify trends and weak points, and suggest corrective actions.
Our platform is highly scalable and supports millions of requests any given day. Our applications are mobile responsive and deployed on demand using CI/CD pipelines. If you're passionate about quality, test automation, and contributing to a product that brings fans to their favorite events, this is for you.
To be successful, you'll need
- Demonstrated knowledge of software quality principles for customer facing products
- Ability to estimate testing effort - analyzing, testing, and evaluating business requirements.
- Understanding of Object-Oriented languages such as Java, C#, Ruby, or Python
- Knowledge of automation frameworks such as Selenium, Cucumber, or REST-assured is preferred

- Excellent communication and prioritization skills with proven ability to multi-task
