Livefront
Analyst
Livefront, we help companies design and build world-class digital products that command attention and inspire joy. We’ve helped household names like Target, Samsung, General Mills, and Optum create experiences that have reached millions of people, and startups like HomeSpotter and Credly build entirely new businesses that challenge their industries’ status quo.
We’re looking for an outstanding QA Analyst to join our team.
Who you are
You’re a curious, proactive quality engineer with a fluent command of what people expect from digital products that look, feel, flow, and function flawlessly. You thrive equally across manual and automated testing techniques, but high attention to detail is your constant. You have a nose for bugs and pride yourself on your uncanny ability to discover, isolate, and resolve them. You have strong software judgment and are comfortable assessing impact and making recommendations to collaborators and stakeholders based on test results, acceptance criteria, and identified risks. You have deep empathy for users and a passion for making their experiences as smooth and seamless as possible. Above all, you’re a self-starter who thrives with autonomy and can work effectively with little oversight.
What you will be doing
Collaborate closely with developers, designers, and product managers to understand product requirements and acceptance criteria.
Create detailed test plans and test cases covering web and mobile platforms, blending manual and automated testing approaches – exercising judgement to select the right testing strategy for a given scenario or interaction.
Regularly execute manual and automated test plans covering functionality, usability, performance, and compatibility – while documenting and reporting on findings.
Author clear, concise, and actionable bug reports with detailed steps and impact assessments to stakeholders based on test findings.
Support an ongoing product release process by conducting regression testing to ensure software stability and prevent the introduction of new defects from product iterations.
Stay up-to-date with the latest testing tools, techniques, and best practices, and serve as a thought partner and influencer to incorporate them into the QA practice at Livefront
Advocate for user-centric design and functionality by ensuring the end-user experience is thoroughly tested and meets high-quality standards.
Perform accessibility testing according to WCAG and internal Livefront accessibility guidelines, ensuring applications perform well across a wide range of users and adhere to accessibility standards.
