Attention to detail is one of our core values! This is your chance to stand out :)
To love this role, here’s the type of person you are:

• You take pride in the quality and craftsmanship of your work rather than just doing it to get it done - with attention to detail.
• You are comfortable giving critical feedback to peers (respectfully and productively) and also don't take feedback given personally.
• You're happy working on tasks of all sizes.
• You're an excellent communicator, fluent in both verbal and written English, who makes sure nothing slips through the cracks. We believe communication is critical and there is no such thing as over-communicating.

• Identify, record, document thoroughly, and track bugs.

• Create detailed, comprehensive, and well-structured testing documentation from the beginning.
• Estimate, prioritize, plan and perform testing activities.
• Participate in feature discussions and provide feedback before the task is prepared for the developer to ensure there are no unanswered or unnoticed questions/concerns.
• Review requirements, specifications, and technical design documents to provide timely and meaningful feedback.

Requirements

• Testing 3rd-party integrations (payment and marketing providers).
• Proven work experience in web-software quality assurance, 3+ years.
• Experience in writing clear, concise, and comprehensive test plans and test cases.
• Previous freelance or remote work experience.
• Availability to participate in audio/video meetings between the hours 9 am - 5 pm EST.
• Strong knowledge of QA methodologies, tools, and processes.
• English at the upper intermediate level or higher.
• Ability to keep complex ideas and features simple. (Simplicity is a core value!)
• Personal Computer with Internet Access
• Experience with Git and working with different branches.
• Good knowledge of software development methodology and software lifecycle processes.

Bonus points if you also have:

• Knowledge and practical experience with MySQL and database structure.
• Experience with performance and/or security testing.
• Experience with WordPress.
• Experience in Test Automation.
• ISTQB certificate.
