We’re proud to have been recently named as one of the “Best Places to Work” in the large business category by the Washington Business Journal.   

Your Mission:

Your Mission: Your mission, as an early member of our Development Team, is to ensure the quality of our software products help take our business to the next level.  They include a web app for fleet managers, a progressive web app (PWA) for drivers, and various APIs and tools to surface and process data. The current workload is roughly 60% automated vs 40% manual testing. 

You’ll report to our Technical Engineering Lead, Micah Mutrux, and collaborate with our Product and Data teams. 

Outcomes You'll Deliver:

• Continue to expand automated testing for new features  

• Complete the setup for our automated API tests using Pact  

• Conduct testing procedures for our various applications and products  

• Verify bugs reported by other stakeholders 

• Collaborate with our Product team and other Engineers to ensure optimal testability in our design and building processes  

• Develop a test case management library to inform processes and efficiency  

• Brainstorm and execute innovative ways to provide high-quality software  

Who You Are:

• You have at least 2-3 years of experience in manual and automated testing and QA of a complex web application  

• You are skilled in documenting and logging bugs in a tool like Jira. You pride yourself on writing good repro instructions. You’re good at figuring out if two bugs likely have the same root cause 

• In a pinch you can look at source code and more or less tell what it’s supposed to be doing 

• You can use JavaScript to compare two long lists of numbers to see if they’re the same 

• You are familiar with git, and you know never to force push to main 

• You are familiar with playwright or other testing frameworks  

• You're a go-getter, who is willing to try new things, read documentation, break stuff, and figure out how to fix it
