Summary:

Are you a Staff software engineer who is passionate about quality & enthusiastic about building a world-class software solution? If yes, look no further!! We have the best opportunity for you to demonstrate your testing skills and innovate, while delivering world class software based in Chennai.

What this role is: 

As Staff Software Engineer in Test, you will spearhead the testing effort as a member of a cross functional team including Product Management, Development, UX, and Documentation. Responsibilities include understanding the architecture and design decisions, defining, and implementing new tests, evaluating the end user experience, and asserting the overall quality of the feature. Since analytics reports on all aspects of the Genesys Cloud product, you will get to work with many teams across the product and learn how they work and perform. Your new tests will all be automated because we test a huge swath of product and manually testing that is not feasible.

It is not mindlessly executing manual tests or submitting automated test jobs. It is about understanding what is to be tested and executing tests and ensuring that they are accurately reporting the product is working properly. The role is testing the Analytics UI, but since that UI is reporting on performance across the product, you are the final check that everything is working end to end. You will get to collaborate with multiple teams distributed across the globe to debug complex problems.

What you’ll bring to the table:

We are looking for someone who is a automation tester, technically strong, and a skilled communicator. You’ll coordinate with fellow engineers and talented peers to identify risks and design tests to highlight them. You will contribute code to a shared automated testing project that includes tests executed daily and in multiple deployment pipelines. You will recommend and prototype new tools and techniques to help us optimize and evolve our processes. You will apply your skills to guide junior team members and provide input and feedback to peers. You will also need to work independently and identify the tasks you need to perform but realize what you don’t know and not be afraid to ask questions before heading off track.

Job Responsibilities:

• Partner with other engineers in the research and development organization to prioritize development and testing efforts.
• Participate in charter meetings and collaborate with Product Managers and Developers to understand new feature intent, scope, and roadmap.
• Identify opportunities for collaborating with other teams to avoid redundant test configuration or execution.
• Review design and architecture and evaluate risks and the scope of testing required. 
• Develop a test plan and strategy with delivery team to ensure appropriate test coverage.
• Estimate the testing effort and time required to deliver new features.
• Design and implement new automated tests for the Analytics UI.
• Coordinate exploratory testing and participate in Bug hunts to gather feedback on user experience.
• Maintain automated test jobs in our Cucumber based framework by triaging failed automation test executions in our Jenkins pipelines and report defects and make fixes/updates to test code.
• Identify automated tests that can be eliminated, combined, or improved to increase test efficiency.
• Participate in Design and Code Reviews to provide feedback to other engineers and improve our testing framework.

Key Requirements: 

• 7+ years of experience in professional software testing
• Knowledge of Amazon Web Services (AWS) such as EC2, S3 and Lambda
• Object oriented programming with Java or similar
• Jenkins or equivalent CI/CD tools
• Designing test plans for cloud software
• UI Testing tools such as Selenium
