Connector Development QA Engineer

We are seeking a talented individual to perform a key role in our team, and looking to recruit an experienced QA Engineer into our connector development.

With at least 2 years of relevant QA experience under your belt, you will be ready for your next move. The QA role encompasses building out test scripts and testing our connector development work mainly manual tests and tools.

We are looking for an individual who can contribute to creating and improving our testing strategies. 

You will be involved in maintaining the quality of Cyclr’s library of “Connectors” which provide instructions to our system on how to interact with external RESTful APIs. Connectors describe the calls Cyclr must make, the data returned, and how to authenticate with 3rd party APIs.  

About Cyclr

Cyclr develops a powerful SaaS integration toolkit for SaaS companies. With Cyclr clients can quickly create, manage and deliver an amplified suite of integrations from within their own application.

We’re a young but growing business

Cyclr is growing fast. It will be exciting, things will evolve quickly, and you will get experience working on diverse projects. You will be joining our business at a formative stage and will have an opportunity to influence our development direction and growth and you will be helping to establish the foundations of a very large company.

You’re a team player

Our team work across multiple locations. As a result, we live in Slack and video chat to plan, organise, report, test, and generally ensure the smooth progress of projects.

• Prior integration experience

Working at Cyclr

We set out to be a flexible and adaptable employer. We believe that the best teams perform off the back of their own application and initiative and not because they are all made to fit in the same box. The most important thing to us is that you perform your role, deliver against expectation and that you are happy. We expect you to be responsible at work and to this end, we offer a high degree of responsibility when it comes to some of the more standard terms of employment.
