Description

Are you a mission driven technologist? At HomeAdvisor we invent the technologies and build the tools to nurture small businesses.

We support the independent skilled professionals while eliminating the fatigue and pain of home renovation for the homeowner. As #1 in our category, we are relentless in our pursuit to build state-of-the art technologies as well as a world class technology team.

We are seeking an eager and driven Software Test Engineer to join our dedicated and passionate software delivery teams in sunny Denver, CO! Come join and build a team committed to building, designing and implementing robust systems for catching software bugs automatically before they reach our 100M+ customers.

Every application you work on will directly impact the quality and performance of how our homeowners and service professionals connect and communicate. You will be a part of a software delivery team and will be responsible for writing automated test cases, building automated regression coverage, integrating automated tests into continuous integration environments and building negative exploratory testing for feature delivery.

As a Mobile Test Engineer on our team, you will:

• Bring a quality mindset to the collaborative definition and refinement of features
• Collaborate with product owners and developers to design or improve features for testability
• Design, build, and maintain effective test strategies based on business requirements
• Run automated tests with the delivery of new features
• Perform manual tests for stories that cannot be automated
• Always question why testing a feature or story cannot be automated.
• Define test cases for automated tests to ensure consistency and reliability, and accelerate product delivery
• Execute feature and regression test strategies and analyze and document results
• Collaborate with your team on assessing feature and defect risks and priorities

We'd love to work with you if:

• You establish monitoring and automated responses to KPI and metrics incidents.
• You are competent at the execution of test plans in automated test suites.
• You keep code, tasks, tests, test cases and documentation up to date with the intent of handing off or shelving based upon new priorities.
• You constructively criticize peers when taking the "easy way out", instead of developing things in the “correct way”.

• Experience with any programming languages (e.g. JavaScript, Python, Java, Groovy)
