You have over 2 years of experience automating tests in both web and mobile applications, and at least 2 years of experience creating pipelines in a CI/CD tool with both web and mobile apps. You have good knowledge of JavaScript, over 1 year of experience testing React or React Native, and 1+ years of working with applications in AWS. Experience testing Detox or Cypress, Bitbucket CI/CD experience, as well as Typescript and Serverless experience, will all be considered a plus. For this role, it is also important to be familiar with Agile software development methodologies.

You have worked with teams before on large and demonstrable projects, and are an expert at all kinds of automated testing, including Functional, End to End, Regression, Integration, Compatibility, etc. You have hands-on experience with TestRail or a similar test management tool.

As a QA engineer, you must have strong verbal and written communication skills, as well as an analytical way of thinking. Effective collaboration with the engineering team is essential.

You relish testing high-quality code from the comfort of your own home. Your engineering projects will focus on testing web applications and instilling confidence in their stability. You'll have the opportunity to contribute to shipping customer-facing code daily.

You love learning. Engineering is an ever-evolving world. You enjoy playing with new tech and exploring areas that you might not have experience with yet. You are a self-driven, self-learner willing to share knowledge and participate actively in your community.

Having overlap with your team is critical when working in a global remote team. Modus requires all team members to overlap with EST morning hours daily. In addition, reliable high-speed internet is a must.

In addition, reliable high-speed internet is a must. Having an iOS device is required for this role. Additionally, you would need your own Mac/iOS device for building and testing the environment for this project.

  • Review developer unit and E2E tests in code reviews
  • Experience writing and maintaining test cases
