What’s in it for you?
This role is within our Digital team, which is using a number of digital technologies to provide best tools and solutions so that Volvo Cars can provide proactive and effortless customer care for Volvo users.  We want to provide our global customers with a leading and effortless customer care experience and be there when they need us, across the channels our consumers prefer. That’s our mission.

You will be responsible for testing the products before they are launched, ensuring that we deliver highest quality of products to both our customers, partners, and internal users.

You and Your Skills
We are looking for experienced QA Engineers who have previously worked in agile product teams, collaborating with each team member (developer, business analyst, UX) to create automated test suite not only for functional tests but other kinds of tests as well (backend tests, API tests to name a few). While we are trying to automate as much as possible, we understand manual testing is required as well.

You probably have a degree in Computer Science/Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. You have a passion for quality and appreciate that QA is much more than testing.

Responsibilities

 You will examine the functional and non-functional requirements, end-to-end processes to create test cases and suites (ideally automated) for different kinds of          testing – functional, system, API etc.
 You will be testing the features and products during different stages to ensure the quality of the product before its launched to the customers
 You will take part in different kinds of testing – SIT (System Integration Tests), UAT (User Acceptance Tests), API testing
 You will help and provide inputs to develop test strategies and practices
 You will collaborate with the devops team and engineers to both understand the CI/CD pipeline and incorporate testing during various stages of the pipeline

Here’s what we are looking for:
- You have prior experience as a Quality Engineer and worked on agile product teams
- You have a solid understanding of QA methodologies, life cycle and processes
- You are comfortable with different types and techniques in functional testing including exploratory, boundary value analysis and equivalence partitioning

Programming

- Experience working on low-code platforms like Salesforce is a plus
- Ability to effectively articulate technical challenges and solutions, deal well with ambiguous/undefined problems; ability to think abstractly.
