Quality Assurance Specialist

The Quality Assurance Specialist position works within our Engineering department and is vital to the success of our company. You will be responsible for finding and reporting bugs and glitches and should have a keen eye for detail. You must have excellent communication skills. Ultimately, you will ensure that our products, applications and systems work correctly.

Here’s a look at some of the tasks and processes you’ll be responsible for:

• Review and analyze system specifications
• Execute test scripts and review results
• Report and document technical issues
• Collaborate with team to develop effective strategies and test plans
• Execute test cases (manual or automated) and analyze results
• Evaluate product code according to specifications
• Create logs to document testing phases and defects
• Report bugs and errors to development teams
• Monitor debugging process results
• Assist team to troubleshoot errors and issues

We believe in hiring people that are a good fit for us culturally.

A good fit is actually more important to us than the skill set since we will teach you everything you need to know.

You need to have immaculate attention to detail. We need to hear you asking questions whenever a test or debugging process doesn’t quite look or feel right, as you’ll be ensuring the debugging process is successful. Excellent written & spoken English comprehension is a must.

Be a good communicator. It sounds very cliché, but you’ll be brainstorming with team members in other departments, troubleshooting and investigating issues reported by staff and customers and performing tests on multiple devices/operating systems. A large part of this role requires the ability to effectively communicate and provide explanations both to customers and team members. 

A self-starter. We need to see some evidence that you’re passionate about quality assurance! You won’t have eyes looking over your shoulder on a day to day basis, you’ll be working in almost full autonomy. We’ll need to trust you to deliver the goods. In a nutshell: you must be highly motivated, goal-driven and reliable.

The following skills/experience would be a bonus:

• Proven experience as a Quality Assurance Tester or similar role
• Experience in project management and QA methodology
• Ability to document and troubleshoot errors
• Analytical mind and problem-solving aptitude
• Strong organizational skills
• Quick-learner, dependable, with strong attention to detail
• Ability to multitask and meet deadlines
• Proficient with Google Suite, Slack, Skype and Zoom

Our company culture is built on the idea of travel, remote work, and living life on your terms.

We’re not looking to put you in a cubicle and waste your time in traffic. You’ll be working hard, playing hard, and learning all about our company and what we stand for during this time.

Apart from meeting us in person every now and then, you’re free to work and live anywhere you’d like and join the new class of digital nomads – we’re homeless but have a passport, credit card, and a laptop.

You’ll become friends with people who will be able to give you massive insights into how digital businesses work, how they scale, and, of course, how to invest in them or sell them.

This isn’t a gap year experience. This is not a temporary contract.

If you’re applying just because you want something to fund your travels before you start seeking out a “serious” job, then you probably shouldn’t apply.

We’re looking for career-minded people who share our vision and see where we’re going. We want you to be part of that vision and help us get there over the long haul.

And while we play hard and sometimes really do work next to the pool all day, we work even harder. Sometimes you will be putting in a 10-12 hour day as business demands arise. You’ll be working weird hours to match other team members time zones, and you’ll sometimes have to face some critical feedback. 

You will be expected to perform to our expectations and really help us grow our business to the next level. We’re counting on you.

If you can see yourself growing into a profitable and meaningful career with us and love what we do, we want you to be part of our team.

When you first start off you will work closely in training with our Quality Assurance Supervisor who heads up our Quality Assurance team. During this period, your role will be probationary and your training and performance will be evaluated. 

We’re going to start you off slow. You’ll first learn about our company and what each department does; then you will be given some low-level tasks to ease you into the position. Over time, your skills will grow and you’ll be making a lot of decisions on your own. However, you will always have our support and knowledge to lean on. We aren’t going to throw you to the wolves — you’ll be part of a high-functioning team that is here to help wherever we can.

Our QA Supervisor and Lead QA Specialist will be reviewing every application. If we think you’re a good fit, we will reach out to you to do a video call interview. After the first interviews are done, our final candidates will be brought back for a final second interview before we make our decision.

We have a no side project policy: we do not allow any ownership, association, or affiliations with online businesses or websites. If you are the owner of an online business, then you will be expected to either sell the business before you join us or sunset it upon accepting a job offer from us. If you are not comfortable with this, please do not apply.

A background check is required.
