Audio/Video Calls Quality Engineer

Slack is looking for experienced and skilled Manual Quality Engineers to join our Calls  team. This is an excellent position for people who enjoy working on the full cycle of manual testing — crafting a strategy, writing a plan, building and executing tests, finding regressions, logging and verifying bugs, and building comprehensive historical records of testing activities are all part of being successful in this position.

Product development at Slack is split into small teams of engineers, designers, and product managers working together on features. As a Quality Engineer at Slack, you would become a full-time member of one of these small teams, focusing on just one or two projects at a time so that we have a solid and well-executed test strategy before launching new features to the public.
