Job Description

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for an experienced software tester who is at home in an Agile environment, being embedded in a product development team, who has an inquisitive nature and desire to dig into the unknowns of the software.

You have a deep understanding of various testing approaches, especially tool-assisted exploratory testing. You are also comfortable with your skills and experience in testing continuously throughout the SDLC – testing the ideas for new features just as much as testing the designs, the code and the software itself, using a risk-based mind-set for structuring your testing and technical skills to test at all layers of the application. And you feel comfortable talking about these testing activities too.

Our applications are written in java/kotlin, react and react-native, and middleware node.js, so ideally, you’ll be able to read and understand some of these languages and potentially pair with programmers to provide an insight into different risks. You should be comfortable with being involved in and adding to conversations relating to consensus decision making, around the team’s ways of working, tooling, quality and team objectives. 


WHAT YOU WILL DO :

  • Embedded within one of the product development Agile teams, collaborating with the designers, developers, product owner and other team members, to help the team with building high quality products
  • Reporting to the Director of Quality Services
  • Conducting key testing activities: risk mapping/risk storming, test design, test setup, test execution (exploratory testing, using test charters), capturing testing notes, test reporting, quality reporting, etc
  • Testing continuously through the Software Development Life Cycle: testing ideas, artefacts, architecture designs, code design, written code, the operational software, production services, etc
  • Working in a regulation and compliance context – reporting the results of your testing, and your approaches to testing in line with the regulatory needs
  • Using modern testing techniques, e.g. risk-based testing, tool-assisted testing, session-based test management, etc
  • Aligning your testing with the holistic quality strategies and meeting the compliance needs within the business
  • Coaching and mentoring your teams to raise awareness, knowledge and skills across the team with testing and quality
  • Supporting the internal community spaces, by participating and potentially running some learning sessions
  • Showing your work and talking about testing and the value of testing – sharing your knowledge across the wider Engineering team
  • Blogging and sharing your testing successes on the Ada Health tech blog

    • WHAT YOU WILL BRING :

  • Hands-on experience in exploratory testing and recording testing notes 
  • Hands-on experience in creating and using Test Charters and Session Based Test Management
  • Strong knowledge and experience using testing heuristics and oracles
  • Knowledge of the vast array of different types of software product risks to investigate, along with experience in risk-based testing
  • A good understanding of context driven testing
  • Experience in working in an agile environment
  • Ability to work collaboratively with others within a product development team (programmers, designers, product owners, etc)
  • Ability to fluently talk about testing – what it is and its value, as well as the testing you’ve conducted and the quality you’ve assessed
  • Proficient in defect logging and defect triaging
  • Good communication, influence and interpersonal skills
  • Good spoken and written English language skills

    • WHAT’S AWAITING YOU AT ADA :

  • Join our global health mission to improve health of billions of people around the world
  • Work in an international environment (55+ nationalities) and with real doctors
  • Work with cross-functional & diverse teams of smart, purpose-driven peers
  • Work wherever you feel most comfortable – home, office, or a bit of both
  • Receive financial support to help set up your home office space 
  • Enjoy your country specific vacation days to unplug, rest and recharge
  • Maintain a healthy work-life balance with our flexible working hours and locations
  • Keep fit with discounted Urban Sports Club or Class Pass memberships
  • Meditate your stress away with free Headspace subscription
  • Learn German with our virtual German classes 
  • Meet and collaborate with colleagues via community days, virtual coffee chats, company parties, team celebrations

    • Other Great Industries
