JOB DETAILS:
About the role
The Quality Engineer is a Product Team member in the Care Teams Focused Working Group. The Care Teams Focused Working Group develops essential components of the Community Health Toolkit (CHT), a leading open-source, global good for digital health and advanced community health systems. You will work with software developers, product owners, product designers, and other users of the CHT directly – this includes automating the testing of applications, collaborating early in the process with software developers, and ensuring we're working on the most impactful things. You will work with a distributed team based around the world, and you will report to an Engineering Manager.

Regardless of the style of testing, one important aspect of work on the team is using the CHT in a technical sense. We build a toolkit and as a QA engineer you will use the tools to assemble, configure, and test applications. Some of the more technical day-to-day activities involve working on the command line, modifying data, and starting up services with Docker.

The work is more technically challenging than may typically be found in a QA role, and if you’re looking for that, please apply!

Product Team’s Core Competencies
As a team, we have adopted a set of “core competencies” for how we show up for each other at work to be great teammates for each other.
• Reliable - Sets and communicates clear expectations about when something needs to/will be done and does it without prompting.
• Team Player - Acts in the team's best interest and actively looks for ways to help their colleagues. Makes time to support teammates to be successful.
• Growth Mindset - Always seeking to improve. Open-minded, teachable, and coachable.
• Proactive - Sees things that need doing and takes action to keep things moving and make the team successful.
• Effective Communicator - Communicates regularly, openly, and effectively using the appropriate channels.

Key Responsibilities
• We want to ship quickly and with high quality. Automation is a big part of our testing strategy, whether that is to help validate a new feature, test a bug fix, or other improvements. We use WDIO for our automated test suite
• Use your initiative to perform any exploratory testing, fuzzing, or other means of exploratory quality assurance you think is required to maintain a high-quality product
• Learn and operate the CHT to quickly set up and execute complex test scenarios
• Design, develop, and execute test plans, test cases, and test scripts to verify infrastructure components, such as networking, servers, storage, and databases, meet our quality standards
• Participate in code and design reviews to provide feedback on the quality and testability of the code
• Conduct research and experimentation to explore new testing techniques, tools, and technologies that can enhance the quality of our infrastructure and applications
• Write technical information, explain processes, clarify interactions when requested, and ensure proper documentation

• Quality Assistance
While there are plenty of times you may help test something independently, we are moving to a system of “quality assistance” where the role of a QA engineer is to focus on automation and building quality-enhancing tools. Manual testing stays with the software developer and author of the code, and the QA engineer’s involvement is to assist in that by advising on important test cases to perform and reviewing parts of the code for quality risks.

Skills Knowledge and Expertise
Required Skills and Qualifications
• 3 years of experience with software development testing, with concrete results
• Strong programming skills in JavaScript or other programming languages
• Experience with test automation frameworks such as WDIO
• Knowledge of software development processes
• Ability to work in a remote and culturally diverse team
We will be reviewing applications on a continuous basis, and encourage interested candidates to apply as early as possible.
