Job Description
|
Fisher Interactive Network is a new division within Fisher Communications, and we need your help in changing the face of web news and information delivery!
This position is a founding member of FIN’s web development team. We’re using open-source technology to improve our sites’ sophistication and relevancy, and create new kinds of news and content delivery. We’ll need you to institute enlightened QA and code release practices.
The responsibilities will be to lead the QA effort, and own the release procedures used for build propagation. We’re seeking someone with experience in QA, but not necessarily in release management, because the latter can be more
easily picked up. We’re looking for experience in open source testing frameworks for web applications, and in Python, because it anchors our technology stack.
SPECIFIC DUTIES:
(Included but not limited to)
• Responsibility for all Quality Assurance, and our test strategy’s overall integrity. This includes developing and overseeing our software test plans and validation procedures
• Drive automated testing within the team. This includes selecting and managing automated test framework(s)
• Be the primary liaison to the Operations Manager, and jointly manage the QA-Production boundary
• Create and maintain functional tests; mostly automated, but also some manual testing. Review the test results for code coverage and regressions, and recommend corrective action
• Diagnose and debug problems found in our code
• Eventually, provide technical guidance to, and manage, a QA team
• Work with other functional teams to develop our build release and acceptance criteria. Create and oversee all the build and deployment scripts
QUALIFICATIONS:
• At least five years experience in software QA, and a strong appreciation and understanding of effective QA processes
• Experience with open-source environments and tools, especially automated testing frameworks and
technologies
• At least three years experience with Linux and OS X
• At least three years Python experience.
• A healthy engagement with the industry and your trade. E.g., staying current with evolving and emerging technologies
• A healthy respect for agile development processes, continuous integration, QA, and release procedures
• An ability to work independently, while contributing to the overall team
• Experience with web application performance tools and tuning is a strong plus
• Excellent communication skills, and a strong “can do” team player
• BS Degree or equivalent
