Job description

About Us

We’re helping a diverse mix of customers—from mom-and-pop operations to companies with thousands of trucks —improve how they communicate with their drivers by tackling information overload, reducing phone calls, and eliminating obsolete technologies.

We have offices located in downtown Greenville and downtown Clemson.

We began life as a bootstrapped software startup, and have always been focused on building products our customers love. Today, we're part of the Knight-Swift family of companies, (Knight-Swift is a Fortune 500 company) which has allowed us to keep our focus on building world‑class software products for the transportation industry.

Eleos is hiring several new teammates to test our mobile and web software products at our Clemson office. The individual we want to hire will make few assumptions, take little for granted, and “measure twice and cut once”. If testing and trying to break what our awesome developers create sounds interesting to you, then please keep reading. If you are bored reading this already, then you’re probably not a good fit.

You will join a fun crew in Clemson, who works hard and enjoys a fierce ping‑pong game in the office. You will be expected to be tough on our products and critical of system issues, but incredibly pleasant with your teammates. Assuring the quality of our products is very important to us as a fast‑growing company.

If you don't already know how to test code or follow test plans, that's perfectly okay. For this position, we are excited to help you learn by providing you on‑the‑job training!

You might be a good fit for this role and our company if you say, “that’s me!” to each of the following:

• I cannot ignore mistakes. I understand that not everyone defines "mistake" the same way... but still, I cannot ignore a mistake
• There is right and there is wrong
• I think work can be "wrong" without thinking that the person who did that work is "wrong."
• People ask me to proofread because they know I will catch everything that might even be considered to be an error

If you have actually done any of the following, even for a school project, please tell us:

• Software or system testing
• Software development of any kind
• Writing documentation of any kind

In Summary

This Software Tester is responsible for testing our mobile and web applications by executing test cases and clearly documenting the results of testing. This position works collaboratively with other testers and developers.

Primary Duties and Responsibilities
