GreenTech Senior QA Engineer
Location: Remote within the UK
Salary: Up to 65K + equity & benefits, inc wellbeing allowance, pension & more.
Food waste accounts for roughly 8% of all global emissions. Between one-third and half of all food grown never enters a mouth, some rots in fields, some in warehouses, and lots goes furry at home or is sent to landfill.
Leading more sustainable lives isnt hard but changing behaviours can be.
How would you like to make it easy for folks to adapt those troublesome behaviours, with incredible social and environmental benefits?
Were working with a company tackling waste; food waste, furniture, books, equipment, clothing, you get the idea take resources that some people need, where others have plenty and create a space where both sides win.
Theyre already a global success with their web and mobile app live in ~140 countries.
Theyve always been remote and do a lot to ensure their teams are not just succeeding in work but are genuinely happy, rather than overstretched.
Youll be working with a technical team of around 25, growing to around 40 in the coming 12-18 months, where every single person on the team contributes their own ideas, has a shared goal for the platform and most importantly, wants to increase impact.
As a Senior QA Engineer you wont be having bugs, fixes or problems thrown at you. Rather youll be supporting the dev team to improve the quality of their testing, looking at how to automate out human error, contributing toward test strategy for growing to 10 million+ users in 12 months time, with ambitious aims through the rest of this Decade of Action.
Their tech stack includes a lot of Javascript, or Flow to be specific, ReactJS and React Native, Ruby on Rails, AWS with things like EC2, Lambdas, ECS, CICD with Circle CI, Terraform, Docker and more.
Priorities for this role are Javascript automation testing with Cypress, although experience working with React Native, iOS or Android mobile apps will stand out and good experience with exploratory testing is important.
So, youll do the heavy lifting when it comes to the more technical elements of QA, but youll also have a DevOps engineer to lean on and the 3 existing QA Engineers to understand how theyve gotten to where they are and thats certainly not a bad place.
But Im sure you can appreciate when a mobile and web app goes from having 6 million users, to aiming for 10, 20, 30 million users in the near future across global regions and varied infrastructure capabilities, there are some challenges.
So, if youve worked on web and mobile software with large volumes of users, lots of data being shared across systems and a scaling mindset, this one could be a good fit.
Now, the company aim to find people who are genuinely passionate about making our world a better place, theyll want to hear about why and what that means to you, and how youve engaged with the climate crisis or other social issues, but they also appreciate that many issues are systemic and while we have our part to play, that doesnt always mean buying an EV or solar panels.
