A Bit About You

You’re excited about ensuring software quality and reliability. You take pride in breaking things during testing so that customers don’t encounter those issues. You can write and execute detailed test plans, perform thorough regression testing, and contribute to automation to make testing faster and more reliable.

You’re who we’re looking for if:

• You love learning and sharing your knowledge.
• You’re detail-oriented and love solving problems.
• You enjoy writing and executing test plans to uncover hidden issues.
• You have excellent written communication skills.
• You’re independent and productive but thrive in a team environment.

Bonus points if you:

• Have experience with QA tools or frameworks.
• Have automated tests using tools like Selenium, Playwright, or Cypress.
• Have experience testing APIs, multimedia, or web video.
• Have a strong background in UX or accessibility testing.

  • What is your favorite testing tool or framework and why?
  • What’s the most challenging bug you’ve found in a project, and how did you track it down?
  • Where would you work from, and why is it a good environment? (It’s okay to say you’d come to the office!)
