Your Mission: Enhance the team’s capacity to deliver assigned stories by end of sprint
- Cultivate Camaraderie: Ensure that Core Values are living and breathing throughout the project team and that these values are reflected within the QA assurance team and department.
- Increase Velocity: Perform automated testing and API testing for complex applications and scenarios; locate and document edge cases by understanding the depth and intricacies of a project; assess possible risks and propose modifications to the acceptance criteria.
- Expand Frameworks: Demonstrate proficiency at automation, API testing, or accessibility testing principles and solutions.
- Increase Velocity: Enhance the team's capacity by documenting plans to anticipated risks/blockers, advancing best practices, and mentoring peers and more junior team members.
- Guide Development: Serve as a technical SME in the sprint, ensuring successful delivery of the sprint commitment by prioritizing testing efforts, enhancing acceptance criteria, etc.
- Evaluate Skills: Conduct recruiting interviews and analyze candidates to ensure successful hiring/contracting.
- Demonstrate Expertise: Present robust testing plans, metrics, and other valuable insight and direction during sprint review meetings; propose solutions and improvements to clients that improve our ability to deliver value.
Your Day-to-Day:
- Key Activities: Ensuring the team understands acceptance criteria, tracking daily progress, limit team’s QA kickback, deliver stories as assigned, find opportunities to increase capacity and velocity.
- How a Current Praxenter Describes The Role: “I spend a lot of the sprint planning and delegating technical work for other devs, anticipating how to deliver as much value for the client via efficiency and tech debt prevention. This has the added benefit of allow assigned devs to grow technically while also reducing as many unknowns as possible in the cone of uncertainty. It’s my job to keep in sync with delivery leads on priorities, team allocation, risks, etc, as well as act as the technical interface for the client to help guide them without overloading them with technical jargon.”
Your Qualifications:
- Technical Proficiency: demonstrable proficiency with desired technologies and tools
- Hands-on SQL: Genuine fluency writing complex T-SQL from scratch, since ~95% of the work is writing queries to validate data. Includes daily fundamentals like duplicates, joins, primary vs. surrogate keys, query execution order, and reconciliation.
- ETL and data warehouse testing: Experience validating data source-to-target, including transformations, data completeness, and end-to-end flows against specs and mapping documents.
- QA methodology: Solid grasp of test cases, test plans, test strategy, positive/negative testing, performance and load testing, and data completeness testing. This role sits between a data analyst and a QA tester, so strong SQL without QA discipline isn't a fit, and neither is QA without complex SQL.
- BI and report testing (not building): Comfortable testing SSRS and Power BI output against your own SQL queries. Developers build the reports; you validate they're correct.
- Microsoft SQL Server environment: Hands-on across SQL Server, data warehouse, SSRS, and Power BI.
- Bonus points: Azure data sources, SSAS cubes, and version control. Deep Power BI/Fabric or modeling depth is a plus, not a substitute for daily SQL and QA fundamentals.
- Practical Experience: 5-8 years professional experience in relevant technology and projects, including ongoing adherence of best practices, leading and executing automated testing for web and mobile applications, and leveraging industry-standard tools to ensure optimal product quality across all stages of the software development lifecycle.
- Client Leadership: Experience presenting to client stakeholders and communicating technical and business value
- Outcome Orientation: Experience understanding and articulating the business outcomes that your development projects impact
- Mentorship Experience: Experience with coaching and mentoring, demonstrated through ad-hoc collaboration and structured code reviews.
- Relevant Education: may include intensive programs, Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a equivalent experience
- Values Alignment: We Care Deeply, Always Deliver, Never Settle, Do It Together, Own the Outcome, and approach every situation with a CAN DO mentality – learn more about our Core Values and be sure to let us know which aligns most with your experience!
