PolicyMe is looking to add a Senior Quality Assurance Analyst to join our small but mighty QA team, to support the releases of our future product innovations. You'll gain expertise testing new products in the InsurTech space and building out a QA program that ensures the robustness of our front-end customer experience and back-end systems.
What you'll be doing:
- Build comprehensive testing plans with the QA team and design test cases for assessing each feature's readiness for deployment
- Manage all aspects of the test plan to enable an on-time launch, including independently executing all test cases, documenting progress for traceability purposes and communicating testing statuses to key stakeholders (engineering, product, customer success etc.)
- Work with QA, product and engineering teams to identify possible new tools or internal features that can improve QA testing quality and speed
- Guide developers to improve automated testing, ensuring new features are added to our automated regression testing suite
- Work with product managers to identify which bugs must be resolved before deployment and which are not critical path
- Develop and execute a structured process for triaging bugs identified across the organization
- Detail out bugs to support resolution with the engineering team, including bug replication and root cause analysis
What we are looking for:
- Quality assurance experience: You preferably have 5-7 years of experience conducting quality assurance testing for web-based platforms, with about 2 years of experience involving automation testing.
- Comfort doing a lot of manual testing: You are going to have to test a lot of new features! You understand that this can be very exciting, but also requires you to do repetitive tests from time to time to ensure deployment is ready. You are familiar with developing and executing manual test cases across devices and browsers.
- Attention to detail: You are a safe pair of hands and can thoroughly think through all niche scenarios to test based on how our customers use our product.
- Comfort with technical topics: While you don't need to know how to code, you will need to be comfortable becoming familiar with technical topics. You are someone who doesn't shy away from complexity and can build a deep understanding of our systems.
- Fast learner: You are able to ramp up quickly on new topics and ask clarifying questions to deepen your understanding of a given product feature.
- Strong communication: You are able to articulate key test status updates, test findings and QA program updates to a diverse audience, from walking through bug details with developers to summarizing testing progress to function leads.
- Drive Initiatives: You are able to always look for new and better solutions to existing challenges.
