• Participate in design and engineering review, giving feedback on testability and impact with existing features and systems. 
• Create, update, and maintain test cases against both development and production systems.

• Partner with QA Management to improve test processes. 

What we’re looking for:

• 3-5 years of experience in Quality Assurance, showing a progression of responsibility.
• Strong analytical problem solving skills, able to identify when to engage manual, automation, and gray box approaches to test. 
• Experience in an Agile development environment.
• Understanding of integrated systems and being able to participate in discussions with development about feature changes or additions that have an impact on related and unrelated systems. 
• Comfortable being the early “voice of the player” in development discussions. 
• Ability to write test cases and seek information from developers when documentation is vague. 
• Understanding of QA processes and methodologies, and the ability to adapt or identify when a new approach is required. 
• Experience with QA activities across multiple development pipelines and releases. 

Bonus points: 

• Experience in the fitness or video gaming industry. 
• Passion for Cycling or Running. 
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related experience. 
• Interest in web technologies. 
• Understanding of HTML, CSS, and Javascript. 
• Knowledge of API testing tools such as Postman and SoapUi.
