About This Job:

Agile Quality Assurance Engineer

Are you ready to tackle big challenges and help push our QA process forward? We’re looking for leaders that will develop creative solutions, and help run the process. At Intent Media, tasks are rarely delegated. Our QA engineers lead the process, and everyone here has the opportunity to come up with new ideas, to shape the future of our company. Are you a driven QA engineer with black box or GUI test case experience? Want to be part of a vibrant, fast-moving and incredibly driven team that knows how to have fun? Join us!

About Our Product

We’re shaking up the e-commerce industry with a big idea: enabling e-commerce publishers to monetize the 97% of visitors who aren’t buying on their sites. Our technology analyzes hundreds of millions of data points to determine consumer intent. This allows us to deliver incredibly relevant content that maximizes revenue for our customers.

About our Agile Engineering & QA Process

We believe in short iterations, daily releases, and working in small teams to solve hard problems. We build things iteratively while constantly communicating our progress. Our QA engineers report to the VP of engineering and our QA process is integrated into our engineering builds. As soon as our engineers have scoped out their development plans for their new story, they sit down with one of our QAs to plan out the tests they’ll run while they’re writing the code. You’ll be responsible for overseeing and administering both manual and automation tests. Everyone on the team is responsible for quality, and they look to the QA team for guidance.

Love your job

Our employees enjoy coming to work, and we let them know they're valued. Our vibrant team accomplishes a lot every day, and our management insists upon work/life balance so that we never become stale. We infuse fun and learning time into our days and our vacation policy includes a minimum, but no maximum. Walk into our office and you'll likely find some of us working quietly on challenging projects, someone playing with one of the dogs in the office, and maybe one of our teams out of the office for an off-site work session. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we take our work very seriously. We believe that in order for our employees to produce at their top level, they need to have intimate access to strategic decisions. Our flat structure and open communication allow for innovation from all levels – ideas flow freely.

About You

  1. You’re not a jerk. Our respectful, collaborative, open and honest staff and management seek similarly-minded good people to join us.
  2. You have experience driving the QA process, determining needs and developing strategy. You are a strong leader and can clearly communicate your testing strategies.
  3. Because we are on a daily release schedule, you must have a keen ability to regularly identify high-risk parts of the application and ensure they’re bulletproof.
  4. You have a drive to be the best you can be, and an interest in learning new technology.
  5. You are competent in:
    • Black box or GUI testing
    • Simple SQL queries and insert/update statements
    • Behavior-driven development in a Ruby or Java environment
    • Cucumber
  6. Bonus points if you have experience with some of the following:
    • WebDriver
    • Ruby on Rails and RSpec
    • Hadoop Map Reduce
    • Amazon Web Services

Interested? We don’t need a fancy cover letter. Just let us know why this opportunity caught your eye and why you think you’re a fit. You can attach your resume, a link to your LinkedIn profile, and/or a link to your Github profile, whichever is easiest.
