In your job as a QA Engineer, your primary focus will be ensuring our products (software, systems, UI, and UX) work and perform as expected and needed, as well as it meets our quality, product, and performance standards and best practices.

Here is a list describing the tasks involved in this position (do you happen to like making lists? So do we!):

• Acquire and maintain an excellent technical understanding of our products including WP Rocket, Imagify, and RocketCDN
• Validate the quality, performance, impact, and outcome of fixes, features, optimizations, and enhancements
• Design test plans (how we validate code)
• Design testing scenarios and test cases (under what environments/stacks and normal and abnormal conditions)
• Design testing data (the data that runs in the automated testing suites)
• Collaborate with the software engineers to develop automated tests
• Monitor automated tests and perform manual tests
• Analyze test results and report discrepancies to the engineering teams
• Collaborate with the software engineers on corrective actions

Our QA team is growing and our efforts to empower quality as well! While QA used to mostly focus on manual end-to-end tests, we are pushing for more automation and we recently introduced our first automated end-to-end tests with a dedicated tool (based on Playwright, Cucumber and BackstopJS). The QA team actively works with our software engineers to add more features and cover more tests with this tool. We are looking for someone eager to take part in this evolution and reinforce our QA team.
