Job Description

QA Engineers are responsible for the testing and verification of Prometheus Group software at a high level and ensure that the customer receives only the highest quality product. The QA Engineer should have a solid understanding of basic standard testing practices, as well as overall testing and development processes.

At Prometheus Group, the QA Engineer is not a cog in a machine, but a highly valued member of a small but rapidly growing team. Working in a dynamic start up-like environment, the QA Engineer will help grow the QA team into a more valuable department by helping identify inefficiencies and strengthen existing processes.

This position will be a mix of manual and automated testing and will focus primarily on our mobile offerings.

Daily responsibilities of an QA Engineer include:

• Learn testing techniques relevant to a specific team (SAP, Mobile, Web)
• Test various aspects of assigned software from a functional, regression, and integration standpoint
• Maintain the outcome of their work in the development tracking system (Redmine)
• Maintain test outlines that describe the intended functionality of, and recommended test cases for, Prometheus Group solutions
• Maintain full control of assigned test requests and ensure completion by required deadlines
• Create and maintain test data
• Support the Professional Services team when engaged
• Work with developers and management to identify and mitigate risks to quality
• Day-to-day supervision of other QA positions where necessary
