You’ll own the full end-to-end test story for a product(s), from test plan creation to execution. You’ll own the scheduling and estimation of test work, and work with the developers to ensure that testability is built into the product. You’ll also play a critical role in assessing when a product is ready to ship.

Our philosophy is the role of QA should be to build process, automation, and tests to ensure that the product is defect free from the start - not to find bugs late in the product cycle.

We need you to write the documentation to ensure that all of our customers understand and can exploit the full potential of the Varigence product line.
