TXP.icio.us requires MagpieRSSMobbu needs a smart person for QA/testing
21 April 2010 by Rod McLaren
Update: this opportunity is closed now, thanks.
Mobbu is a leading provider of real-time secure mobile applications to the UK policing and public safety sector.
Our mobile software products provide customers with increased real-time situational awareness capability whilst tangibly reducing operational cost – the first of these products is successfully rolled out at UK police forces, and more are in development. We also provide consulting services – planning, designing and building mobile/backend systems – for companies like Airwave and G4S.
Our product development and consulting businesses are growing, driven by our public sector domain expertise, our product design and development knowledge, and your skills as a QA/tester.
About the role
We’re looking for a talented, motivated person who will take responsibility for the quality of our software products and projects.
In this role you will be required to support the development team working as QA on a variety of internet and mobile application projects developed in .Net/ASP.NET, Java, and BlackBerry technologies.
We want you to be involved up-front with internal and customer product owners. You’d define and document requirements (user stories) and write test cases from business requirements. You will need to be involved with our development team, ensuring that what is released is of sufficient quality and passes critical regression testing.
The role is based in our shiny office in the heart of Brighton’s mobile community. We want to hire for it as soon as possible.
About You
You are smart, you get things done, and you can communicate effectively. You can approach a problem methodically and analytically to track down the root cause of a problem. You’re comfortable being customer-facing and will sometimes run acceptance testing on a customer’s premises.
Ideally, you’re great at finding those critical edge cases in systems, at breaking those systems in, and you’re even better at explaining why they need fixing. You keep developers sharp, and you’re all about attention to detail. Experience of mobile application testing, agile (Scrum) testing methods, load or performance testing and test automation would be a useful added bonus.
You are entitled to work in the UK and a UK resident: we’re going to have to get you security-cleared for some of our work.
Mobbu and technology
Our technology choices are pragmatic – we develop using the technology set appropriate for the product and the customer’s environment. In our past projects someone in your role might need to:
- Take a high level requirements document and extract the meaningful user stories and test cases
- Produce a customer-facing functional specification document
- Produce and run a critical regression test pack for each software release
We are an agile/Scrum-oriented company and we favour running software developed and tested by talented, well-organised people. The successful candidate will be a very important member of the Mobbu team, with the responsibility of ensuring that what is developed each sprint is of great quality.
If this role sounds interesting, please send a cv to Brad Legge at hello (at) mobbu.com and tell us why you’re the person for the job; no agencies or phone calls, please.
