QA Automation Engineer (Hybrid)

The Role

Collaboration and continual learning are core values for our engineering team. We celebrate wins together and we support each other to solve tough problems. Our modern tech stack is flexible so engineers’ good ideas can be realized.

We use AWS extensively for many services. We take a serverless approach to development when possible  and highly leverage containerized services like ECS, EKS and Lambda. We use RDS, DynamoDB and Redshift for our primary storage needs. We are using new technologies in our QA automation framework and the main programing language in our QA team is Python. QA and testing is increasingly automated and incorporated with CICD

QA Automation Engineers enable the Stori Tech Team to build the right thing and build the thing right. They improve quality by supporting the software lifecycle from planning to delivery. These engineers are core members of the Tech Team that apply their experience and knowledge of the product to create test plans and detailed test cases. QA Engineers work closely with product designers, product leads and software engineers to debug and improve quality and the user experience.
