Job Purpose

Traditionally, the rigid QA process has relied on manual testing. However, we cannot cope with rapid changes in the market if we were to stick with the old way of testing, where critical issues are only found at the quality assurance stage. On the other hand, prioritizing speed at the expense of quality will make product delivery unsustainable in the long run. 


So far, our development engineers have maintained quality by using Autify or other tools when adding features or when issues occur. However, as the service has grown, we have reached a phase where we must elevate the quality of our software test automation platform to the next level.


 To achieve faster release cycles and high quality, we are looking for a Quality Assurance professional who will constantly scrutinize what an ideal QA looks like and establish Autify's position as an industry leader.


Responsibilities

  • Design, promote and improve QA processes to maintain high quality without slowing down development. This includes proposing and formulating bug prevention systems.
  • Run manual tests and automate tests.
  • Review service specifications, UI/UX, etc.


Required Qualifications

  • At least 3 years of QA experience in agile processes.
  • Experience working with development engineers to improve QA processes.
e.g.) In addition to finding bugs in the testing phase, you have taken initiatives to prevent issues earlier in the development process (such as by adding automated tests in CI and reviewing specifications by the QA staff).
e.g.) You have worked with development engineers to improve the QA process to release features more frequently.
e.g.) You have attended service specifications and UI/UX review meetings and provided suggestions for improving the software quality.
  • Experience in test automation using Selenium, etc.
  • English skills (business level or better)


Desirable Skills & Experience

  • Experience in setting up QA processes in our products.
  • Experience in designing tests for an entire product, including automated tests.
  • Experience in project management.
  • Holds ISTQB/JSTQB certification(s).
  • Holds a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) qualification.


Desired Personality Traits

  • A passion for improving the entire development process and the overall quality of the product, not just around QA.
  • The ability to communicate proactively with product managers, development engineers, customer success departments, and other relevant departments to solve issues.


Selection Process

2. HR interview

Autify, Inc. is a start-up company founded in San Francisco by a team of engineers who were the first Japanese team to graduate from the top US accelerator Alchemist Accelerator. With the mission to increase creativity with the power of tech, we develop and provide Autify, an AI-based software test automation platform.

Markets are changing rapidly, and there is a demand for quick software releases. Agile development has become mainstream; on a global scale, 92% of developer teams adopt agile development, 71% of which aim to release at least once a week. With such a rapid cycle, manual verification is too time-consuming, and there is an urgent need for automation. Our services can solve these critical challenges and make our clients a competitive advantage in software development.

Over 300 companies have begun using their service since its official release in October 2019, and that number is continuing to grow.

QA’s global budget is said to reach over $1 trillion. We are rapidly expanding our service reach internationally to win this vast global market.
