About your team

At e180, one of our core values is learning (“We have a growth mindset.”). We cultivate human potential by enabling our people to learn from one another. We specialize in creating collaborative learning experiences, primarily for events and conferences, helping organizations transform their gatherings into powerful knowledge-sharing platforms.

The QA Analyst role lives within the Product team and is an important liaison with all the internal users of the platform, especially experience producers working onsite with our clients to deliver our services. Nonetheless, they mainly work with the development (‘Dev’) team which maintains and iterates on Braindate, including the client-supporting tool, and other emerging products.

Your team’s rituals and ways of working together

Each member of the team is autonomous, works remotely, and communicates with the team daily. Our projects are split between a Scrum approach and a Kanban approach to stay in sync with our development pace.

We are dedicated to creating quality code that is documented, tested, and reads like prose to any other developer. Quality code makes for scalable projects and happy developers who feel accountable for maintaining it. We use the RICE prioritization framework to determine what’s the next most important bug to fix or task to complete.

We conduct regular optimization audits and meet daily for peer-to-peer code review so that we are continually learning from the diverse talent on the team.

As the QA, we’re relying on you to be the guardian of quality and hold the developers and product team accountable for delivering stable and well-performing features.
