Consultant Quality Analyst

Thoughtworks

Location: Greater London

Job Type: Full time

Posted


Woven between all of the stages of the development process is the work of a Quality Analyst: the technologist who sees building solutions like a kaleidoscope of possibilities for things to break. By collaborating with each team member—Developer, Business Analyst, Designer, etc.—you will ensure quality is thoughtfully examined in both processes and technology. QAs also aspire to be more than testers; they're team motivators and strive to encourage all teammates to weave quality into their mindsets and code.

  • You will produce and implement test strategies during the software development process
  • Drive the creation of a reliable automated testing suite with strong reporting capabilities that ensures simple, effective analysis of failures for your team to use
  • Cultivate high-functioning teams and enable transitions where necessary
  • Extend your passion for quality assurance practices to enabling the client, helping coach a client's team to adopt a testing mindset
  • Advocate QA expertise to the broader tech community outside of Thoughtworks, speaking at conferences and acting as a mentor for more junior-level QAs
  • You get excited to focus on cross-functional requirements such as performance and security when things go wrong
