Summary of Position
As the quality assurance engineer, you will play a critical role in ensuring the quality and reliability of our software products. You will work closely with our development team and program managers to design, implement, and execute test plans and automation to identify and address defects before they reach our customers.
Creative West develops four software products that service the arts and nurture economic stability in the creative economy (ZAPPlication.org, CallForEntry.org, GOSmart.org, and PublicArtArchive.org). In addition, we develop adjudication software to support ZAPPlication and new products that require quality assurance testing. We have varying levels of technical debt, separation of concern, and API coverage that strain our development process. While our current quality assurance processes are thorough, they are manual and require heavy resourcing and coordination across internal and external teams.
This position will be our first dedicated quality assurance role. We seek a QA engineer who can use their experience to refine our existing processes, alleviate bottlenecks, reduce overhead, and develop an automated testing framework. If you hold an engineering background and enjoy providing end-to-end solutions to software quality problems, we’d like to meet you.
