When was the last time you were planning a business trip and really tried to save your company money? If your company allowed you to stay in a fancy hotel, would you ever volunteer to stay at an Airbnb or at a friend's house? How about flying coach instead of business class? The vast majority of employees optimize for comfort and convenience, spending at the high end of their company policy limits, because, well, why not? So how can a company get its employees to care about expenses without implementing draconian policies, creating friction and frustrating employees? How can a company motivate its employees to save?

The answer is Rocketrip. We're a NYC-based startup that rewards business travelers for cost-sensitive behavior. It's a win-win: companies save, while employees cash in with real rewards.

The Role:

We are looking for a QA leader who play a crucial part in everything we do to improve quality,

speed to delivery and ship high-quality products in a consistent manner. You'll be working

directly with engineers and product managers within an Agile development process to assess

risk and help define the required process to build quality in for everything that we ship.

We strongly believe that the path to high-quality software is through an engineering focused

process that is supported by quality assurance. As a team we have worked hard not to

cultivate a "toss it over the wall" mentality of sharing work between engineering and QA. What

we do believe in is a collaborative approach to defining the necessary steps to build quality

into the engineering and release process.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate and mentor engineers to ship high-quality software.
  • Perform manual and automated testing activities as required within sprint release cycle.
  • Assess risk with engineering deliverables and define testing strategies to mitigate.
  • Own the quality stack and toolset.
  • Define and implement release best practices.
  • Hold the entire team accountable for what touches both our internal users along with our customers.

Requirements

  • Minimum of 3 years of relevant experience in software QA.
  • You understand what Agile, Lean and Continuous delivery are all about.
  • You are a critical thinker and frequently spot risks and problems no one else in the team thought about.
  • You are a great facilitator that can organize people to solve problems.
  • You have experience in implementing an automated testing strategy.
  • Startup Experience is a plus.

Founded in 2013 and headquartered in New York City, Rocketrip is aiming to revolutionize business travel by introducing the motivation to save.

Our team is focused on utilizing technology, design and data to align employee and company interests.

Rocketrip is backed by a renowned set of investors and advisors, including Google Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, Canaan Partners, Genacast Ventures, and Y Combinator.
