Description

We’re looking for a remote full-time QA Automation Engineer to join our team and help continue building Percona Monitoring and Management. Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) is a free and open-source platform for monitoring and managing the performance of SQL/NoSQL based databases and servers or cloud instances.

Some of the biggest companies in the world rely on Percona and PMM to help them monitor their database infrastructure so ensuring our products are of the highest quality is our number one priority. You will play a vital part in that through the automation of software testing to ensure that every release is of higher quality than the last. You should be comfortable automating tests using tools such as Selenium, Cucumber, or Cypress in a Jenkins or Travis CI environment. We’ve traditionally built installed, Open Source software but we’re adding a large SaaS component to our product offering so big bonus points if you’ve been responsible for quality in a hybrid cloud/packaged model.

We view quality as a partnership and are looking for someone that understands the value of constant collaboration with our developers to ensure we are moving to a Test Driven Development (TDD) model.

The work is challenging, but that’s why it’s also fun and rewarding!
