Mailshake is seeking a highly motivated QA Automation Engineer to help us ensure a high-level of quality for our simple yet powerful sales engagement software for sales professionals. You’ll work closely with the QA Engineering Manager to develop and maintain several automated test suites, as well as maintain and monitor daily test runs in a pipeline and report defects as necessary.
About the Position
The QA Automation Engineer is responsible for the automated testing of our product. You’ll use your Javascript skills to create and maintain several automated test repositories with minimal guidance, and partner with our QA Engineering Manager on the automation strategy and process.
Your daily work primarily involves writing automated tests in Cypress and Postman and determining the priority for automating test cases. As needed, you will also jump into manual testing, identifying and documenting test cases, and writing up bug cards in Jira for production issues. You’ll work closely with our Development and Product teams and other Mailshake staff to triage bugs for severity and priority, as needed.
This is a remote-only position and thus requires the ability to get work done with minimal supervision, but you should also be able to communicate effectively with other members of the team on an as-needed basis. You should have a steady pace of writing automated test scripts, and in-depth experience with performing manual tests and verifying that features and bugs have satisfied acceptance criteria.
