Quality Assurance Engineer at Flocabulary (New York, NY)

Flocabulary is a rapidly growing edtech company that uses music to drive student achievement and foster a love of learning. Students in more than 20,000 schools use our rap songs and interactive learning tools to master academic content. Our product and work reflect our strong belief that a motivated student is a successful student.

As Flocabs first Quality Assurance Engineer, you will lead the charge on building a plan for how we test new features for our webapp before we ship them. Youll identify what tests we need to write, and youll write many of them, working closely with other engineers and product managers. The Quality Assurance Engineer will report to our Director of Engineering.

Who You Are:

You believe that testing should speed up feature development, not slow it down. You have experience with a broad set of testing tools and you know when best to use which ones. You have worked in fast-moving environments, and can pivot quickly as requirements change. You dont mind manually testing features, but youd rather make reliable automatic tests. You assume untested code is broken code. You have experience writing and testing Python and Javascript code. You want to work closely with a strong team that is making a difference in the world.

Responsibilities:

• Review requirements, specifications and technical design documents to provide timely and meaningful feedback for other engineers
• Create detailed, comprehensive test plans and test cases
• Estimate, prioritize, plan and coordinate testing activities
• Develop and execute automation scripts using open source tools
• Identify and document bugs
• Perform thorough regression testing when bugs are resolved
• Collaborate with internal teams (e.g. developers and product managers) to identify system requirements
• Investigate the causes of non-conforming software and train users to implement solutions
• Track quality assurance metrics, like defect densities and open defect counts
• Stay up-to-date with new testing tools and test strategies
