About the job

Crossover is the world's #1 source of full-time remote jobs. Our clients offer top-tier pay for top-tier talent. We're recruiting this role for our client, Virtasant. Have you got what it takes?

Are you an expert at detecting differences between things you observe versus what you expect them to be? Do you love technology and learning new things? Are you really good at using writing to explain what you've seen?

If so, you'll love our approach to software quality testing. Our testers are guided through test scripts that are clear and specific and enable them to focus on deciding when an application is meeting or failing our high quality standards.

Unlike most QA Testers that test the same application every day, our testers never get bored and are always challenged, using their skills to test over 100 products that our customer owns.

What You Will Be Doing

• Execute test cases with high precision and detail, diligently checking each step and documenting differences
• Follow a process that includes testing in two-hour "Deep Work Blocks"
• Learn new software products regularly

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Executing all of your tests on the same product - we want all our QA testers to explore our portfolio of over 100 products, and we spit our testing between our team members so that they can run in parallel.
• Coding - using Gherkin, you will be able to automate QA tests without any coding experience.
• Editing unit or integration tests - these are done by our software engineers.

Software Quality Assurance Engineer Key Responsibilities
