Job description

The Kodiak program has an opening for an Automated tester who will work as part of a small test team supporting multiple software applications in varying stages of deployment (from emerging technologies to legacy systems). This position requires knowledge of modern automated testing methodologies and technologies. The person in this role will be responsible for manual testing when the coding of an automated solution is impractical or not desirable. As the technology stack expands and grows, our team of testers may be required to work with the application developers to support performance/load testing to fully evaluate the application capabilities.

  • Experience with SQL queries for data validation (Oracle, Postgres, MySQL)
  • Expert in Selenium WebDriver
  • Emphasis of experience must be in the area of writing automated code (Java) as opposed to simply click and record
  • Must be able to evaluate developer assignments, independently understand requirements, and engineer tests to evaluate best path scenario as well as probe for possible failure conditions
  • Must know to use an IDE to code (ex - IntelliJ, Eclipse, NetBeans)
  • Experience with interacting in a Linux environment (ex - Bash scripting, vi)
  • Expertise in writing test plans, cases, procedures, scripts, and scenarios
  • Demonstrated history with manual and automated test processes
  • Ability to work well in a constantly evolving work environment
  • Ensure the QA and testing approach references all known vulnerabilities and best practices
  • Conduct and report testing using a repeatable process based on industry best practices
  • Maintain and update the test environment
  • Must have development skills, as automated testing is a lot of writing code.
  • Solid hands-on experience testing experience with testing tools such as JMeter and /or Selenium.
