Slack

Quality Engineer

Slack is looking for experienced and skilled Quality Engineers to join our team. We are looking for test professionals who enjoy continuously exploring and challenging the unknown unknowns that present themselves throughout the project lifecycle. This includes creating test strategies, evaluating epics and stories for risks and dependencies, creating and executing tests, defining regression strategies, identifying and investigating bugs, and creating comprehensive historical records of testing activities.

Product development at Slack is split into 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 teams, focusing on just one or two projects at a time to ensure that we have a solid and well-executed test strategy before launching new features to the public.

  • Experience in working with any of the following automation frameworks and/or knowledge of JavaScript is a plus: RSpec, Watir, Cypress.io or Nightwatch.js.
  • Experience using mobile development tools is a plus, but not required: Xcode, Android Studio, Charles Proxy, etc. 

What you will be doing:

  • Work with a variety of cross-functional teams and stakeholders — Engineering, Design, Product, Customer Experience — to design, own, and execute evolving test strategies for new features and functionality.
  • Develop and maintain a robust library of test approaches for both new and existing features.
