QA Engineer

Overview

As a QA Engineer on the Software team, you will analyze, test, and diagnose both code and documentation for Fair Com’s database software solutions (Fair Com DB, RTG, Edge, & MQ). Your primary responsibility is to ensure the quality of Fair Com's JSON APIs and web-based applications. You will use Jira tickets to manage your work, create test plans, write automated tests in Python and PyTest, and use Git Hub to manage code.

You will use AI to augment all aspects of your QA abilities. Each test updates or creates a new PyTest program that the engineering team runs in the CI/CD pipeline.

• Write regression tests for each new feature or bug fix assigned to your Jira Queue.
• Self-manage throughout each sprint, balancing testing thoroughness with clearing the Jira task queue.
