DESCRIPTION
Software Tester
Experienced Software Tester / Test Engineer required by Belfast based software house with a reputation for training and development of staff. New positions in a growing Software Tester team.
Company
Distil Recruitment is working in partnership with one of Belfast’s most intriguing software houses in the recruitment for Software Tester jobs at various levels in their next stage of growth. The company now employs over 100 software professionals and has seen phenomenal growth over the last number of years in terms of new business and acquisition. This is an exciting period for their tech teams as there are a number of new projects coming up involving extensive product re-design as well as a large greenfield development project. The products have a global reach and the Software Tester team plays a pivotal role in the deployment process, working closely with development in an agile environment.
We are seeking to source at least two new hires within the Software Tester / QA Engineer Team and are keen to speak to anyone with experience as a Software Tester or QA Engineer.
Role
Due to continued growth and investment in the business there is an immediate requirement for people from experienced Software Tester / QA Engineer backgrounds. The company has a track record of promoting from within and their preference is to hire Software Testers with around 1-2 years’ experience and develop[ them internally. The role involves working as part of an established Software Testing team that works closely on a number of on-going projects and product releases alongside the Developers.
The roles are primarily focused on manual testing but the successful applicants will also have exposure to automated test tools on some projects. There is a real variety of responsibility attached to the positions. Some of the key areas of activity undertaken in this role will be:
- Creation and execution of test plans
- Bug tracking, re-testing and documentation
- Regression testing
- Work closely with developers and clients when required
- Develop an understanding of the customer user experience
Person
The company prides itself on having an open and inclusive working culture. The successful applicants will be encouraged to make a contribution to the QA processes and procedures, methodologies, tools etc. We need people who are serious about building and developing their career in Software Testing and who have the mind-set of always looking for vulnerabilities and ways to improve products and web applications.
We are looking for the following attributes:
- 1-2 years’ experience in a Software Test role
- Solid understanding of the software test process and the software product development cycle
- Excellent communicator with the ability to build rapport with Testers, Developers and end users
- Ability to translate business requirements into a functional test plan
- Keen attention to detail and a questioning and analytical mind
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who has gained some commercial experience in a Software Test role and who wants to build upon this in a progressive company with a commitment to staff development and career progression. The company is well respected and hugely successful but still offers a friendly and relaxed working environment that is a world away from the atmosphere of the large multinationals.
Apply
Salary is relevant to experience but very competitive. An enhanced bonus package and full flexible benefits package are available.
