Test Automation Engineer QA - Catalogic Software

What's the job?

The position of a Test Automation Engineer (QA)

is open in DPX (Enterprise Data Protection) team that is working on implementing support for features that were so far only available in legacy Java GUI, implementing new functionalities around virtual infrastructure, physical infrastructure, and early Ransomware Detection features. You will be a part of a team that is working in a startup-like atmosphere from the US and Poland. We want you to help with making sure that our Angular frontend and modern backend built using micro services architecture, Spring Framework and Docker are working as they should. You will be writing and executing some manual tests (at first), that will (once they are accepted/reviewed) be converted to automated test scripts in Playwright

DPX Web Management Console is based on the latest Angular framework and many components are based on Google’s Material library, we’ve built our own fancy reporting and charting modules (and we’re going to open-source them!) … and no jQuery!

DPX Backend is built using Spring, packaged into docker containers, communication is happening mostly over REST. We rely on automated CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins that run our tests and build docker images that can be deployed to our test env (or your local dev environment if you want). Oh! We always do proper code reviews in our GitHub flow in Git.

What you will do:

First of all, work in a friendly, elastic, and supportive environment, where having great fun and doing a great job is becoming the same thing

Analyse functionality and prepare test cases for it, that will be a foundation of initial manual tests and will be turned to automated tests

Help analyse new feature (or existing features modernisation) requests and plan ahead QA activities

Of course, you will have to run tests (hopefully mostly automated, but sometimes manual testing for edge-cases is required)

Help preparing technical and user documentation;

Communicate with other teams and help to integrate others' code into a common solution;

Identify and address the root cause of the issues, drive the problem from its definition to successful completion;

Drive innovation by designing new features;

Identify improvements in existing architecture and code to continuously refactor and evolve the products;

Work in a fast-moving and forward-thinking development environment that is constantly researching and implementing the latest technologies;

Research and implement the open source frameworks and architectures;

Work closely with fellow developers and end users to rapidly produce critical features.

It’s great if you have:

Solid knowledge of Python, with hands-on experience writing automated tests using Pytest and Playwright

Understanding of QA methodology: test design techniques, writing clear test cases and bug report
