QA Engineer

Background

Videoplaza, an Ooyala company, empowers broadcasters and video publishers to build profitable and sustainable businesses in the internet-delivered TV world.

Videoplaza was acquired by Ooyala in October 2014. Ooyala, a subsidiary of Telstra Corporation Limited, delivers personalized video experiences across all screens and is a leader in online video management, publishing, analytics and monetization. Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Ooyala has offices in New York City, London, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo and Guadalajara, Mexico.

The Role

Videoplaza works with large media clients globally and scaling our platform to handle tens of thousands of req/s with zero downtime, providing real time reports and forecasts based on billions of log rows and building a simple and intuitive UI requires that we invest heavily in QA activities and processes to ensure a quality of the highest standard. In light of this, we are currently looking to extend the QA team with a skilled QA Engineer.

As a QA Engineer at Videoplaza you will be part of a scrum team with focus on feature development. You will primarily be responsible for making sure that team deliverables are fully covered by QA activities and that it passes all criteria for releasing. The role is broad and includes activities that span the full lifecycle of features from specification to production. Apart from defining and executing tests, the day to day activities will include contributing to automated test infrastructure by writing tests and improving the test framework, monitoring incoming bug reports and grooming the bug backlog, reviewing code, managing releases and performing risk based test analyses. You will work with engineers in cross-functional development teams across the organisation as well as together with the other QA engineers.

Responsibilities

- Coordinate and manage QA work in the team

- Define and implement manual and automated test cases

- Keep test cases and test environments in shape

- Develop, follow up and monitor continuous integration pipelines

- Contribute to and work with continuous delivery improvements

- Execute tests

Who we're looking for

Most importantly, you are a skilled QA engineer with a focus on and strong interest in agile testing methodologies. We code mostly in Java, Scala, Python and use frameworks such as Git, Python/Nose, ScalaTest, Maven and Jenkins. Solid programming skills are expected and experience of one or more of these is no doubt a bonus, however the kind of person we are looking for is someone who quickly and easily picks up new languages and frameworks.

Furthermore we insist that you have a passion for what you do and a hunger for learning new things. We constantly evaluate and try to better ourselves. We expect you to do the same and - just as important - help others improve as well.

All meetings and written communications at Videoplaza are in English. Swedish is not a requirement.

You need to be a natural fit with the Videoplaza team:

- Entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial

- Self-starting, driven

- Energetic, passionate

- Desire to learn and grow within the role
