We are looking for a dedicated and detail-oriented Quality Assurance Engineer to primarily focus on manual testing while building foundational experience in test automation. You will be embedded within an QA Engineering team working as-a-service for Product and Delivery teams, playing a critical role in certifying the quality of our fan-facing products—from streaming platforms and mobile applications to real-time data visualization tools.

The ideal candidate has a strong passion for finding defects, a deep understanding of the user experience, and a keen desire to grow their automation skills.

Key Responsibilities

• Manual Test Execution: Design, write, and execute detailed, comprehensive, and well-structured manual test cases and test plans based on product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Defect Management: Identify, document, and track software defects and inconsistencies using an issue tracking system (JIRA experience is preferred), including clear steps to reproduce and supporting evidence.
• Comprehensive Testing: Perform various types of manual testing, including Functional, Regression, System, Ad-Hoc, Exploratory, Cross-Browser/Cross-Platform, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
• Platform Specialization: Focus extensively on testing web and native mobile applications (iOS/Android) and OTT streaming experiences on various devices (Smart TVs, set-top boxes, consoles).
• Requirement Analysis: Collaborate closely with Product Owners, Business Analysts, and Developers to fully understand product requirements and ensure test coverage aligns with business goals.
• Process Improvement: Participate in continuous improvement of QA processes and best practices within the team.

Automation and Technical Contribution

• Automation Basics: Assist in the development, maintenance, and execution of basic automated test scripts for key functionality or regression suites under the guidance of Senior QA/Automation Engineers.
• Scripting: Gain hands-on exposure to basic programming/scripting concepts (e.g., Java, JavaScript, or a relevant testing language) for developing simple automated checks.
• API Testing: Perform manual and, with time, basic automated testing of RESTful APIs using tools like Postman to validate data and integration points crucial for Deltatre’s data and streaming products.
• Tool Exposure: Learn and apply industry-standard automation tools and frameworks such as Selenium, Cypress, or Appium (the latter being highly relevant for mobile/OTT testing).

• Proven Experience: Minimum of 2+ years of professional experience in Quality Assurance, with a strong emphasis on manual software testing.
• QA Fundamentals: Strong knowledge of QA methodologies, tools, and processes within an Agile/Scrum environment.
• Test Documentation: Expertise in creating clear, concise, and thorough test plans and test cases.
• Defect Tracking: Hands-on experience with bug tracking and project management tools, such as JIRA and Confluence.
• Cross-Platform Testing: Experience in testing applications across different operating systems (Web, iOS, Android) and browsers.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• driven to push the boundaries and lead change and performance
• communicative to leave no-one in the dark and to work with your team successfully
• reliable so we know that we can call on you to meet deadlines
• passionate about the latest technologies and standards
• proactive to suggest improvements, identify and fix potential issues

Our people are key to our success and we pride ourselves on offering a dynamic, creative, innovative and supportive environment. Having the right combination of a 'can-do' approach, strong work ethic, integrity, friendliness and attention to detail is crucial.
