QA Engineer (Manual)

Foremost, were looking for people who are excited about what were doing -- you dont need to know anything about IoT, but should be excited to learn. Were building in an entirely new space, so youll be able to use creativity to help us solve problems and delight our customers.

The QA Engineer role plays an important part in our company’s product development process, and in ensuring that the code is devoid of any bugs. As the name goes, you should be fussed about getting a quality product out in the market, and more importantly be able to test a code by trying to break it in unconventional ways. Being a QA Engineer, you will work closely with the Product Team and the Engineering Team, and you’ll have the chance to make a difference to the code quality. So your work has a direct impact on the company, the product, and the user as a whole. You will see yourself progress and grade up to successive positions sooner than you would expect. If you’re passionate about testing and quality, are constantly thinking of ‘What can go wrong with this?’, and have an amazing knack for catching hold of bugs in the code, we’d love to meet you.

Requirements

None of these are requirements, but do describe the kinds of people that we think would be most effective at Syook right now.

• Must be flexible, independent and a self-starter who can work with little supervision.
• Love thinking broadly about problems and thinking creatively about how to solve them efficiently.
• Happy to try things out to validate new features, and move on if they no longer solve a problem.
• Excited for a front-row seat into a fast growing, early stage company. Things will change a lot!
• Enjoy thinking through trade-offs, with both mindfulness of short-term needs and our long-term direction.
• Happy writing documentation so that others can ramp up super easily and youre never a single-source-of-failure. Were a bit too small to have silos.
• You are driven and care about doing a good job and improving your craft.
• You have a growth mindset, can keep up with the latest technology changes and trends and suggest enhancements based on these
• Most importantly, you’re the kind of person who is friendly, approachable, ready to help others and personally driven to put your best foot forward.
