Quality Assurance Engineer

Job description

DESCRIPTION

Kindle has revolutionized the way the world reads. From the very beginning, the Digital Bookstore team has played a pivotal role in this revolution, enabling customers to smoothly browse, research, and procure content specific to their needs and interests.

We now support customized shopping experiences for eBook customers on eight generations of Kindle e-ink and Fire devices, as well as third party tablets, smartphones, and computers; and we deliver this experience in over a dozen countries.

As a QA Engineer-II on the Digital Bookstore team, you will collaborate with developers, product managers and customer support to identify unambiguous software requirements, understand all features and their implementation details, understand customer usage models and then develop and execute strategies to get that software into our customers' hands in an efficient and high quality fashion.

Our preferred candidate possesses a high level of coding aptitude combined with a demonstrated passion for Quality Assurance. Our QAEs test code at the user level, both manually and with automated tools. Our QAEs are not pure black box testers; they are able to understand the software internals, debug problems using log files, and write automated tests using a variety of frameworks. As a QAE on the Digital Bookstore team you will be a key voice in the design and coding phases. You'll define and implement quality gates for code changes, delivering on the promise that our users' experience will be continually maintained or improved. You will develop high-quality test automation to driver lower operational costs and faster deployments.

If you think you've got what it takes, apply today! We look forward to talking with you.
