Were proud to be recognized as a
Great Place to Work
, a testament to our inclusive culture, strong leadership, and commitment to employee well-being and growth. At Tarento, you ll be part of a collaborative environment where ideas are valued, learning is continuous, and careers are built on passion and purpose.
What You ll Do
-
Own test strategy & plan:
Define scope, approach, entry/exit criteria, environments, data, and timelines per release/sprint. -
IC
- Individual contributor and own end to end testing and signoffs from UAT. -
Azure Boards:
Create/maintain testing Epics/Features/Stories, link defects, manage queries/boards, and report status using dashboards. -
Azure Test Plans:
Build test suites (static/requirement-based), write high-quality test cases with shared steps/parameters, manage runs, and track outcomes. -
Defect management:
Run daily triage with Engineering/PO, prioritize via impact/severity, ensure clear, reproducible bugs with root-cause notes. -
Risk-based testing:
Drive coverage for high-risk areas; ensure traceability (Req Test Defect) and measurable readiness. -
Stakeholder communication:
Provide crisp, data-driven updates (go/no-go, risks, mitigations) to Product/Eng leadership. -
Lead automation collaboration:
Coordinate with the automation engineers (e. g. , Playwright/Selenium, API tests) to identify candidates for automation, review test design, and align on coverage. -
Quality gates & governance:
Enforce DoR/DoD, entry/exit criteria, and sign-off checklists; contribute to release readiness. -
Mentor & upskill:
Coach testers on test design, exploratory testing, and ADO best practices; review test artifacts. -
Non-functional awareness:
Collaborate on smoke, regression, UAT, compatibility, accessibility, and basic performance checks (partnering with specialists where needed). -
Documentation:
Maintain RTM, test summary reports, and knowledge base of known issues/workarounds.
Must-Have Skills & Experience
-
10+ years
in software testing with 3+ years leading
a QA team or workstream. - Strong
articulation and written communication
able to translate complex issues into clear, executive-friendly updates. -
Attention to detail
with high standards for test case quality, reproducibility, and evidence. - Hands-on with
Azure DevOps
: -
Azure Boards:
work item hierarchy, queries, dashboards, reports. -
Azure Test Plans:
requirement-based suites, shared steps/parameters, configurations, manual runs, and analytics. - Proven
defect triage
leadership across cross-functional teams. - Solid grounding in
test design techniques
(equivalence, boundary, state transition, combinatorial, exploratory). - Experience in
sprint-based delivery
(Scrum/devops), release management, and go/no-go. - Exposure to
test automation leadership
(identifying candidates, reviewing scripts/coverage, aligning on frameworks and CI usage).
Nice-to-Have
- Familiarity with
UI automation
(Playwright/Selenium), API testing
(Postman/REST Assured), and CI
(Azure Pipelines/GitHub Actions). - Accessibility basics (WCAG), cross-browser/device testing, and test data management.
- Knowledge of performance testing workflows (e. g. , Azure Load Testing/JMeter) and security testing fundamentals.
- Domain experience in SaaS/enterprise platforms (B2B, workflows, integrations).
