Job description

Описание

Resident Advisor has been a home for electronic music culture since 2001. Event discovery, ticketing, news and long-form editorial, artist profiles, original films, and a weekly mix series two decades deep. Around 7 million people use the web platform every month, with a wider audience across our apps and other channels. Underneath the platform sits a network of contributors and city managers across dozens of cities, which is how we stay connected to the scenes we cover rather than reporting on them from a distance. RA is 25 years old, independent, B.Corp certified and intent on being indispensable to the artists, promoters and audiences who make this culture.

Задачи

• Keep the web end-to-end test suite healthy: fix flaky tests, add coverage for new features, and make sure a failing suite gets fixed quickly
• Grow automated testing for our iOS and Android apps and RA Scan with the app developers, so mobile tests run on every change
• Test high-risk releases yourself, such as payments and checkout, including edge cases and what happens when things fail
• Review the test plans teams write, and help them improve
• Use AI tools to write and maintain tests, help developers do the same, and check what the tools produce
• Brief our external testing partner and review the results they send back
• Report bugs clearly, and follow them through with developers and product managers
• Track a few simple measures, such as bugs that reach production and how reliable the automated tests are

Требования

• Several years in QA or test engineering, typically four or more, testing web and mobile products
• Hands-on test automation: you've built and maintained automated tests that run in CI, for web (for example Playwright, Cypress or Selenium) and ideally mobile. We use XCUITest on iOS and Espresso with Kotlin on Android
• Enough coding to write and fix tests alongside developers, in a language such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Kotlin or Swift
• You can test APIs and check data with SQL
• Good judgement about risk: what to test deeply, what lightly, and what not at all
• You've used AI tools in your testing work, and know where they help and where they don't
• Clear writing: bug reports and test plans other people can act on
• Будет плюсом: CircleCI or a similar CI tool; Working with an external testing partner; Payments, checkout or ticketing systems; Testing apps used at live events, with poor networks; Test management tools such as Qase or TestRail

Условия

• Generous annual leave policies aimed at promoting work-life balance
• Matched pension, or 401k for US staff
• Comprehensive staff wellbeing initiatives, featuring regular activities and workplace programmes to support mental and physical health. This includes discounted ClassPass memberships and custom-fitted earplugs
• Company-led social events, team lunches, and discounts on merch
• Paid annual volunteering allowance, encouraging contributions to community projects and charities you care about
• A transparent internal company culture committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion (see: https://ra.co/about/diversity)
• Active involvement in community projects within the electronic music community (see: https://ra.co/about/community)
• The annual salary range for this role is €60,000 to €72,000.
