Senior QA Engineer
Job Purpose and Background in summary
In 2023 CDP underwent a complete digital transformation, seeing us transition the annual disclosure cycle from a paper-based, human-intensive and vendor-dependent stack, to a completely in-house developed, modernised and scalable product that will revolutionise the customer-experience for both external and internal users. As part of this transformation we also built completely new teams, spanning across Design, Product, and Engineering.
The newly built platform is made up of three unique domains;
- Disclosure: how CDP builds and programs questionnaires, and respondents provide their data
- Scoring: how CDP scores and assesses respondents' data
- Data: how CDP can provide datasets and products to customers
We are hiring a Senior QA Engineer to work closely with Lead QA Engineer, whilst sitting within one of squads and assisting in the mentoring and development of another QA Engineer within the same squad. In addition to conducting your own testing, you will also improve our automation test coverage, and drive consistency of testing practices across squads through documentation and training.
