Quality Assurance Engineer

About the Team:

We’re an international team from multiple countries in Asia. Locus Blue moves quickly, rapidly prototype ideas, and gives a lot of ownership to its engineers. We also have a flat structure where anyone can suggest new ideas and comment on the direction of the company. All engineers work remotely and enjoy a flexible working environment.

About the Role:

We are looking for a Quality Assurance (QA) engineer to develop and execute exploratory and automated tests to ensure product quality. QA engineer responsibilities include designing and implementing tests, debugging, and defining corrective actions. You will also review system requirements and track quality assurance metrics.

The QA technician role plays an important part in our company’s product development process. Our ideal candidate will be responsible for conducting tests before pushing updates to ensure software runs smoothly and meets our users’ demand. If you hold an engineering background and enjoy providing end-to-end solutions to software quality problems, we’d like to meet you. Ultimately, you should monitor all stages of software development to identify and resolve system malfunctions to meet quality standards.

You will also work with developers, data scientists and scrum masters. Our team is a cross-functional, global team composed of entrepreneurs, aerospace engineers, and GIS engineers to deliver the best possible experience for our customers.

We’re looking for candidates located in Asia with the option of working full remotely and visiting to Japan when it’s necessary. It will be especially required after COVID19 becomes stable.
