What you'll do
* Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to define good testing practices and techniques and contribute to the development of a product-minded culture.

Your Background
* First and foremost, a great attitude. We’re pioneering on new frontiers. You’ve got the right attitude towards a sense of urgency, risk and uncertainty about the future that comes with working at an early-stage scale-up. You’ll be self-managing, self-motivated. This is an opportunity to be involved in an exciting journey and be a core foundational member of engineering at OutThink.
* Proven academic or other excellence. You have a strong educational foundation and can demonstrate a track record of exceptional performance - whether that be academics, sport, professional, or another domain of interest. Ideally, you have a degree in Computer Science, Engineering or other numerate or semi-numerate discipline.
* Relevant QA automation technical skills and experience. 3+ years’ experience as a QA Automation Engineer working in an agile team working on a digital (preferably SaaS) product. Strong experience in automated testing, using tools such as Selenium, or equivalent. Hands-on experience with building automated test frameworks. Strong experience in manual testing, test organization, test execution and reporting. Experience writing test plans, crafting test cases and debugging. Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and release approval processes. A decent understanding of BDD/TDD principles and unit/end-to-end testing.
* Collaborative working style. We value getting things done over rigid processes so you will work well with others, knowing when to get consensus and when to push for closure with decisiveness. You’re an effective team player with excellent interpersonal and communication skills. You’re able to work collaboratively in diverse and cross-functional teams. You’ll also have proficiency in the English language, both written and verbal, sufficient for success in a remote and largely asynchronous work environment.
* Experience and a deep interest in new technology and innovation.
* Ability to learn new processes and concepts fast with a demonstrated sense of curiosity.
* Intrinsic drive and motivation to build a ‘world first’ and share our start-up vision.
