Wanted: Professional Bug Hunter and Software Tormentor!
Are you the type of person who finds joy in breaking things? Do you have an uncanny ability to find bugs (the software kind, not the other variety - although that is a fantastic skill as well)? If so, we have the perfect job for you!
We're seeking a Test Analyst to join our team of merry mischief-makers for a 12 month contract. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to mercilessly prod, poke and pummel our software until it begs for mercy.
Key Responsibilities:
Devise diabolical test scenarios that would make even the most seasoned programmer wake up in a cold sweat.
Navigate through our software like a bull in a china shop, leaving a trail of bug reports in your wake.
Translate developer speak into human language for our non-technical stakeholders.
Maintain a poker face while developers insist "but it works on my machine!"
