Quality Assurance Analysts, Toronto and Calgary
About Us
Isn't it about time you joined a company that really values your contribution? A company that is synonymous with innovation in the technical world? A company that is passionate about collaboration? Welcome to ThoughtWorks. We're currently hiring Senior Quality Assurance Analysts and Quality Managers.
We've been at the forefront of software testing innovation for a long time and are the creators of Selenium, a portable software testing framework for web applications. We've made contributions to the Open Source community via projects like this one, as well as Frankenstein and SharpRobo. We do things differently here, getting our testers working closely with our developers and business analysts, right from the requirements gathering stage. As a member of the team you'll be around to ask the awkward questions and try the scenarios that analysts or developers don't dream up.
Add to this our focus on Agile delivery and you'll start to see why working here is refreshingly different.
We hire only the most passionate, talented people. This passion may manifest itself in a number of ways. You might be a vocal blogger, open-source committer or conference-attender. You might have a server farm in your garden shed. You might think that perfection is a suite of automated tests. You might want to find new ways to deliver business value to your clients. You might just want to find out what working with like-minded people feels like, and see if that ignites your passion for IT again.
We are a consultancy, so we can't always promise that our customer sites are as relaxed as our own office space, with the natural light, snacks, Guitar Hero and all the caffeinated beverages you can manage. But we try to make customer work fun and are working with some of the biggest names in the Canadian market. Being a consultancy means there's always the possibility of some travel. We do everything we can to make life here as easy as possible and always take people's personal situations into account. We think it's a small price to pay for the chance to work with us.
We're looking for testers with broad experience. An interest in the latest technologies goes a long way here and we're looking for people who are passionate about the world of technology.
You'll bring some of the following skills:
- A hands-on tester who is comfortable across a whole range of functional testing including UAT, acceptance and system testing with automation tools like Fit, Fitnesse, Silk or Winrunner
- Experience of setting test strategy, choosing automated testing tools, maintaining a test environment and creating testing standards
- Enjoyment of working closely with developers, analysts and clients in a highly collaborative environment
- Experience of, or interest in, working with Open Source testing tools like Selenium and Watir
- An interest in testing within an Agile environment and encouraging organisations to work in a more agile fashion
- An interest in exploratory testing, not just working to test plans
- A background in software development.
