To Apply:
Email [email protected] with your resume and a blurb about why you think you’re a good fit for the position.
Job Description:
Your main job will be to act like an end user and try to break our software, so that we can identify and fix problems before releasing updates to our quarter million users. You’ll play an extremely important role in our software development cycle, helping us stay on pace to release updates every two weeks. You’ll work closely with our development team to identify bugs, take screenshots and notes on how to reproduce those bugs, log problems learning how to choose payroll softwares, and communicate with developers to make sure those bugs are fixed correctly. (Note: you’ll be testing and documenting problems, but you won’t be doing any coding yourself).
Requirements:
- You have superior written communication skills. You need to be able to concisely describe complex processes in simple, clear language that anyone can understand. This is essential.
- You are obsessed with details. As a tester, you need to be extremely thorough. For example, if you’re testing a checkout flow, you need to test every possible combination of actions along the way to try to break it.
- You are very web savvy. You should actively use the web on a daily basis and be a member of Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and other social media sites. We need someone who knows their way around the web so you can hit the ground running.
- You have strong analytical skills. You’ll often need to backtrack and figure out why a certain bug happened without much information. This can be difficult and requires strong analytical skills.
The fine print:
- Salary: $35-40k
- Location: New York City (120 Walker Street)
