- Work directly with the software engineering team to move development stories through the various statuses in JIRA to help close them out in a timely manner.
- You will also work with the Product Manager when you need to get clarification on requirements and the Engineering Manager when you need help prioritizing QA tasks.
- You will become intimately familiar with the software development life cycle and the agile processes and methodologies prevalent in the industry.
Job Requirements:
- Working on a degree in a relevant STEM major like computer science
- Ability to work 20 hours a week during the school year and full-time during the summer of 2025
- Ability to take direction from Senior QA Engineers
- Ability to communicate clearly with the Software Engineering and Product management teams
