To facilitate this, you will be responsible for writing test cases in Python, selecting and managing appropriate testing software, reporting and documenting bugs in Jira, and managing the lifecycle of those bugs within a scrum environment. As a cybersecurity company, the security of our own toolsets is imperative. In addition to visual and behavioral tests, we expect experience in security testing; such as injection violations, CSRF / XSS attacks, and credential mismanagement. Given the volume of toolsets we work on, automated testing will also be crucial to ensuring QA does not become a bottleneck. We utilize Python Django REST Framework for much of our codebase, and an ability to write API unit tests directly in Django will be a strong plus. As an innovative company, we pride ourselves in developing in-house solutions, bespoke to our needs. This opens the door to greater flexibility and creativity, but also to greater responsibility and vulnerability. Our ideal candidate is someone who takes genuine pride in their work and appreciates being able to shape ideas to their vision. What You Will Do: * Perform visual, behavioral, and security QA analysis on web desktop, mobile, and native mobile applications * Utilize a mixture of custom test cases and readily available testing toolsets to facilitate all layers of testing from Unit to User Acceptance * Document findings as bug reports in Jira for development team to resolve * Validate and document issues reported by end users as needed * Manage the lifecycle of reported issues within a scrum environment * Work with development team and other department leads to resolve reported issues * Write test-cases in Python for both manual and automated testing * Complete and review documentation for projects or any operational effort * Provide system performance monitoring and troubleshooting, including database tuning in MySQL * Maintain current knowledge of relevant technology as assigned * Other activities as assigned ## Related Videos - [AIQSpecFlow: Improves and automates your agile process of specification and creation of testcases.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100084-aiqspecflow-improves-and-automates-your-agile-process-of-specification-and-creation-of-testcases) - [MySQL Protocol Features You Should Be Aware Of](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100267-mysql-protocol-features-you-should-be-aware-of) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Testing .NET applications a Tool box for every developer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/704-testing-net-applications-a-tool-box-for-every-developer) - [Continuous testing - run automated tests for every change!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/190-continuous-testing-run-automated-tests-for-every-change) - [Excellent Software Testing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/87-excellent-software-testing) ## Related Articles - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
