Job description

Overview

You're someone who LOVES playing with apps. When you smash "Update" in the App Store, you feel like a kid on Christmas morning. You love pushing apps to their limit, and have a preternatural ability for finding in-app shortcuts, power-user features, easter eggs, edge cases, and best of all… bugs.

As Transit's in-house bug crusher, you'll be playing around with our Android, iOS and Web apps, helping replicate arcane bugs, deciphering why they happen, and stomping them into oblivion before they hit production. Also, after.

Responsibilities

• Participate in design, development, maintenance and improvement of automated test suites
• Set up and participate in weekly manual testing of core app features, as well as twice-monthly manual testing of full / extended app and web features
• Maintain awareness of new features as they are developed in order to quickly turnaround new or updated tests
• Keep current on issues found both by other employees and reported by our users to find patterns or weak spots in testing coverage
• Clearly document issues and bugs and follow them to completion
• Become a subject matter expert on the functions of the app
• You like to break things
• Experience with test UI automation
• You have some coding experience

Qualifications

• Healthy curiosity and creativity for experimenting with app features to find bugs or edge cases
• Ability to execute functional test cases quickly and carefully in both manual and automated capacities
• Ability to write detailed and well-structured manual test cases with clearly defined outcomes, working both from written documentation as well as from demos or screen recordings
• Strong written and spoken communication skills in English and French
• Empathy and willingness to put yourself in the shoes of different types of users
• Proven ability to work independently as well as collaborate with different teams in a hybrid office environment
• Enthusiasm for performing tests that can sometimes be dry or repetitive, and an interest in picking out and tracking minute changes or differences
• Positive and open-minded attitude regarding the use of LLMs with a drive to continue learning and improving
• Passionate about quality and dedicated to putting out the best possible product for our end users
• You live in Montreal or are open to relocating
• Knowledge of Kotlin and / or Swift (nice to have)
• Experience working with and debugging Espresso / Compose in Android Studio and / or XCUITest in Xcode
• Other UI automation experience (Appium, Selenium, Katalon, Playwright or other)
• Experience testing app accessibility
• Passionate about cities, urbanism, public transit, design, technology, or all the above

Compensation and Benefits

• 60 000 - $70 000 CAD per year, based on experience
• Comprehensive medical and dental coverage
• Four-day work week at full-time salary
• Apple laptop and equipment
• 1,600 annual mobility allowance
• A training and development budget
• Generous maternal / paternal / parental leave policy

Work Environment and Location

Spend your days surrounded by first-rate teammates and the best view of Montreal and / or [insert exotic Zoom background]. When you’re in the office, you’ll be in urbanist heaven, surrounded by Mile End’s urban gardens, bike paths, BIXI docks, bus stops, a metro station, and numerous amenities. Communal lunch-and-learn with free food in the office each week.

Equal Opportunity and Inclusion

Public transit is used by overwhelmingly more women and people of colour than other modes of transportation. We try to make sure the diversity of our users is reflected in the team that serves them. Because when we include people of all races, genders, sexual orientations, ages, and identities — we end up building a better app for everyone who uses Transit.

We encourage candidates of all ages, genders, origins and orientations to apply. If you’d like to specify which pronouns you use, feel free to include that in your application email. If your lived experience has given you a unique perspective on all things transportation, mobility, accessibility, urbanism? Let us know, and we’ll make sure your application gets the attention it merits.

How to apply

Send your resume to [e-mail] along a quick summary of who you are and why you’re interested in the role. Include the words: “I test, therefore I break” in the subject line. We look forward to meeting you!

PS: When you apply, let us know how you heard about the position! Whispers, grapevines, middle-of-the-night Google searches? We’re dying to know.

PPS: Unfortunately, we don\'t accept in-person applications or singing telegrams. Make your application sing instead!
