The Position

You: Apptio is seeking an SQE II to join our Quality Assurance team, where intellectual firepower, resourcefulness and creativity are highly encouraged. As part of our team, you will work directly with development to guide and implement the continuous testing strategy for our IT Planning products. This is an exciting opportunity to join a small-team environment with big-team capabilities and goals.

Us: We’re a small, dedicated team of QA professionals who oversee the suite of automated tests written by the development team and create cross-team tests ourselves. We work directly with developers to ensure all test goals are met, and are partnered with our development, user experience, and product management teams in driving us towards a high quality bar.

What we want you to do:

  • Be the expert in your assigned functional area – know exactly how everything works in order to know what might break and what needs to be covered by automated testing.
  • Continuously review the automated test coverage written by developers for your assigned functional area and recommend improvements.
  • Review automated tests written by developers for proposed check-ins; advise improvements; object when coverage is insufficient.
  • Mentor developers on test coverage; build up the team’s skills in this area.
  • Study “escaped” bugs for patterns and root causes; perform tests yourself to find what the automated test suite is missing; use this information to improve your test suite improvement recommendations.
  • Together with other SQEs, conceive and create integration, scenario and cross-functional tests.
  • Together with other SQEs, identify common sources of defects or coverage gaps across teams and propose remedies.
  • Help the team establish and maintain a high standard for continuous quality with near-zero manual testing.

Qualifications:

  • Demonstrated knack for quickly understanding complicated software at an extremely thorough level of detail.
  • Experience with QA principles and concepts as applied to commercial software development.
  • Competence with Selenium or comparable scripting tools.
  • Clear, critical thinker able to find patterns and draw robust conclusions.
  • Gracious communicator; enjoy helping the team improve.
  • Curiosity and self-motivation – someone who doesn’t get “stuck” very often and has a passion for how things work/how to break them.
