We are seeking a Quality Assurance Engineer in Vienna who is eager to go beyond merely executing test cases. We want someone who is passionate about influencing our development process, understanding not only how software works but also what we should be building and why. If you have a knack for exploring systems, questioning assumptions, and identifying gaps early in the project lifecycle, we want to hear from you.
The Challenge
As a member of a cross-functional team, you will experience a collaborative environment where feedback flows freely among product owners, designers, engineers, and testers. Your primary responsibility will not be to simply find faults, but to help us discern what is truly valuable to build, how to construct it correctly, and how to validate its effectiveness. You will work closely with developers and product managers to:
- Define clear, testable requirements
- Identify potential risks early in the development process
- Ensure that our deliverables effectively address the problems we intend to solve
- Provide constructive feedback during design and development phases
- Enhance product quality and team understanding through insightful feedback
- Shape the team's testing strategies, from exploratory testing to automated checks
- Investigate and report defects with precision and empathy
- Assist developers in verifying data integrity and feature consistency
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of team processes and testing methodologies
- While you will still write and execute tests, your most impactful contributions will occur even before code is written, rather than just post-deployment.
About You
We expect you to possess enough experience in software testing or quality assurance to understand that the role extends beyond merely identifying bugs. You should be comfortable communicating across various roles and possess a curiosity about the connections between systems and users.
We would love to hear from you if you:
- Can discuss requirements comfortably
- Think critically about design and usability
- Clearly and constructively express feedback
- Aspire to grow as both a tester and a collaborator
- Can balance attention to detail with a broader perspective
- Enjoy learning new tools and techniques as needed.
