QA Engineer

Full-Time, Remote / Salary, Exempt / Includes Benefits, PTO, Flexible Schedule, Equity

Steno is growing! We’re looking for a QA Engineer to join our winning team, which is revolutionizing the court reporting industry every single day. We’re a diverse team from all over the country (and beyond) and we’re crazy about redefining the boundaries of an outdated industry.

If you are enthusiastic about joining an engineering culture that has a spirit of continuous improvement in all aspects of building products - come join us!

Who are you?

We’re looking for a self-starter who is effective in managing their time in remote working environments. If you love solving problems and collaborating with others to solve those problems then this role is for you!

This is a fast-paced environment, but an amazing opportunity for someone who wants to join a growing tech team at a mid-stage start-up and have a direct impact on building and enhancing our products!

On a regular basis, you’ll be:

  • Perform manual testing for software functionality

  • Using a variety of tools to discover and root cause issues, including database queries with SQL, browser dev tools, and web request tools (e.g. Postman)

  • Using our test case management tool to create test plans, log test runs, and track bugs

  • Helping to maintain automated tests across our full product suite

  • Investigating product quality in order to make improvements to achieve better customer satisfaction

  • Helping to identify quality assurance process bottlenecks, at times suggesting (and implementing) actions for improvement

You’re gonna crush it if:

  • You have 3+ years of QA experience

  • You’ve got experience with a variety of different testing techniques - both manual and automated - and when to apply those different techniques

  • You've become familiar with the downsides of both under-engineering and over-engineering, and developed an appreciation for working pragmatically

  • You have at least some experience with git and a high-level programming language, such as JavaScript, Python, etc., for the purposes of writing automated tests. (we use TypeScript with Node.js, Selenium/webdriver)

  • You realize the real project work happens when the last 20% is being completed - the handling of edge cases, errors, and interesting scenarios is where the real magic happens

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Salary range: $110k-$140k

  • Generous company-sponsored health benefits for both employees and dependents

  • Comprehensive vision & dental plans for both employee and dependents

  • Wellness and mental health benefits that can be shared between you and your family

  • Flexible Paid Time Off to allow you to find the balance you need between work and life

  • Options of company equity, because we know our success isn't anything without our team

  • A home office setup to help your feel comfortable and capable in our remote environment

Our Eng team includes people from all levels of seniority and with a variety of backgrounds, from Fortune 500 to startups to FinTech to bootcamps. Our QA team is small but mighty and needs you!
