Get Started
Woven between all of the stages of the development process is the work of a Quality Analyst: the technologist who sees building solutions like a kaleidoscope of possibilities for things to break. By collaborating with each team member—Developer, Business Analyst, Designer, etc.—you will ensure quality is thoughtfully examined in both processes and technology. QAs also aspire to be more than testers: they're team motivators and strive to encourage all teammates to weave quality into their mindsets and code.
Job responsibilities
- You will proactively seek out ways to avoid common software-testing problems such as test case duplication, flaky tests and maintainability
- You will pair with devs to read and assess code and provide feedback about tests
- You will seamlessly partner with clients, Business Analysts, and Project Managers to create and prioritize test plans while establishing yourself as a trusted voice with testing methods, strategies, and tools
- You will provide input for and evangelize system testability
- Advocate QA expertise to the broader tech community outside of Thoughtworks, speaking at conferences and acting as a mentor for more junior-level QAs
- Strive for quality to be built and aspire to shift quality to the left
- Apply theoretical knowledge to practice and willingly offer improvements on code, tests, testability and suggest tools and frameworks to use
- You will examine end-to-end processes in addition to backend testing, ensuring quality is embedded throughout
- You will produce and implement test strategies during the software development process
- Drive the creation of a reliable automated testing suite with strong reporting capabilities that ensures simple, effective analysis of failures for your team to use
- Cultivate high-functioning teams and enable transitions where necessary
- Extend your passion for quality assurance practices to enabling the client, helping coach a client's team to adopt a testing mindset
Job qualifications
Technical skills
- You have worked as part of a wider development team, pairing with Devs and ideally Business Analysts, Infrastructure Engineers and Designers

- You are comfortable with different types and techniques in functional testing including exploratory, boundary value analysis and equivalence partitioning
- You have exposure to and experience in using defect tracking and management tools

Professional skills
- You're resilient in ambiguous situations and can approach and tackle problems from multiple perspectives
