What You’Ll Do

Day to Day: Read tickets, specs, and test documentation thoroughly before beginning work; ask clarifying questions as needed and capture all test cases in the team's test management system following established conventions. Write test cases from acceptance criteria with thorough coverage of positive, negative, and edge cases, and get them peer-reviewed and signed off by a QA team member before execution. Identify the scope and impact of new features to plan and execute relevant regression tests, finding or generating test data that exercises all applicable scenarios.

Reliably and efficiently execute test cases under team supervision, focusing on the right cases and completing them in a timely manner. Log defects to QA standards, including reproducible steps, expected vs. actual results, and supporting evidence; proactively perform second reviews to catch issues before they progress.

Document feature testing thoroughly — test plans, test results, and findings — and create entries in the QA Issues, Ideas Improvements (I I) list as observations arise. Own testing for assigned tickets (with assistance available for full features), keeping GitLab tickets current with accurate status, timely comments, and active tracking throughout the sprint. Build product knowledge across one or more functional areas, understanding the team's business logic and application flow well enough to test with context and purpose.

Read release notes within 2 days of publish and stay current on product and process changes that affect testing scope or approach. Attend team huddles, communicate testing progress to PM, dev, and the broader team, escalate concerns through appropriate channels, and provide feedback when documentation or training materials are unclear or incomplete.

1+ year of experience working at Employee Navigator and in Employee Navigator’s software. Strong attention to detail with the ability to identify discrepancies in data and system behavior. Effective written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document findings clearly.
