Junior Tester - 15Gifts Ltd

We are looking for a Junior Tester to provide QA and contribute to our testing processes. You will need a hands-on approach working closely with our design, development, data science and partner experience teams to help define, plan and execute test cases across multiple projects and product versions.

Your role will include cross-browser/device testing, the specification of acceptance criteria and test cases during project planning, and ownership of tickets throughout the sprint process. Ideally, you will have experience of automated testing which you can use to help develop our testing framework and use to implement testing of our systems.

• Pin-point attention to detail
• Ability to find problems and root causes. You want to break stuff and help fix it
• A hunger to ask questions - for your own knowledge, and to challenge assumptions
• Experience of a range of web browsers, operating systems and devices
• Understanding of web-based technologies and testing web applications
• A desire to constantly improve your knowledge and experience
• Confidence to provide constructive criticism and positive feedback

Responsibilities:

• Plan, execute and perform testing across both product development and BAU work streams
• Provide early input on upcoming tasks from the relevant expert and end-user perspective
• Assist the development team in the identification of test cases
• Design and prioritise tests to create the best coverage and business value
• Track and monitor live system performance to provide early warning of potential issues

Bonus Points For:

• ISTQB or equivalent
• Proficiency in writing test scripts using Selenium or other automation
• Experience of working with Agile project management methods such as Scrum
• Basic understanding of distributed source control systems, specifically Git

Fundamentally we want someone who is smart and can get stuff done, it may sound clichéd but we would much prefer to hire someone who is talented and allow them to train and gain experience, than to hire someone with all the points checked off but who has the wrong attitude.

If you are willing (and more importantly, wanting) to learn and get on with being a part of a growing team, and are excited about helping us to maintain and improve the quality of the excellent work we do then we want to hear from you.

What We’re Offering:

• The opportunity to work with our experienced team on products used by thousands of people every day
• The chance to join a company at an incredibly exciting time of growth
• Working with some of the largest companies in the UK and beyond
• Training and development budget
• Apple MacBook
• 33 days holiday (inc bank holidays), plus birthdays off
• Beer, fruit, and regular social events
• Various office dogs
