Senior Manual Tester

About the role

Join the SETI (Software Engineering for Test Infrastructure) team as a quality gatekeeper. In this role, you won't just be running tests; you will be the foundational support for our automation efforts.

Responsibilities

• Automation Enablement: Act as the primary consultant for automation engineers, providing them with detailed manual test cases, expected results, and edge-case logic required to build reliable scripts.
• Test Writing: Author high-quality, structured test documentation that serves as the "source of truth" for both manual audits and automated script development.
• Strategic Test Organization: Audit and organize the existing test suite to eliminate redundancy, improve coverage, and ensure the most critical paths are prioritized for the SETI team.
• Complex Troubleshooting: Partner with automation engineers to investigate "flaky" tests or failures, using your manual expertise to determine if an issue is a software bug, a hardware limitation, or a script error.
• Cross-Functional Advocacy: Serve as the bridge between development and automation, ensuring that new features are manually vetted and fully documented before they are handed off for automated integration.

Requirements

• Experience: 5–10 years of professional QA experience is ideal. We are looking for a "career tester" who prides themselves on methodical discovery and organizational excellence.
• Expert Test Design: Mastery of writing clear, reproducible, and highly organized test plans that can be easily interpreted by technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Analytical Mindset: The ability to look at a complex system (SDKs, Cloud, Hardware) and identify where manual intervention is required to support or validate automation efforts.
• Tooling Proficiency: Deep experience with Jira for advanced defect tracking and reporting, and familiarity with Test Management Tools for suite organization.
• Education: Bachelor's Degree or an equivalent combination of professional experience and military service.

Qualifications

• Automation Support Skills: Experience working alongside automation teams using adb, Android Studio, or Linux/Unix to pull logs and verify environment stability.
• Hardware Familiarity: Experience testing physical devices or Point-of-Sale (POS) systems where hardware/software interaction is critical.
• Data Validation: Proficiency in SQL/MySQL and API testing (REST).
