Manual QA Engineer

We're on the search for a motivated and experienced Manual QA Engineer ready to join our QA team in building and supporting our Plytix PIM. Our QA team is based in Malaga, but if you do your best work from the comfort of your own home or even from a different city, no problem-the location doesn't matter, you do!

What is Plytix?
Plytix PIM (Product Information Management) is a SaaS that helps our customers to manage their product data. Our platform is the single source of truth for our customers.
With Plytix PIM, customers can work on their products in a collaborative way, send their products to their e-commerce shops, create catalogs, and more.
But Plytix is no typical company, so we'll spare you the usual corporate 'who we are' text. Instead, watch this video, and if you like what you see, keep scrolling.

Development team

What's the opportunity?
This is your chance to play a part in building a leading multichannel platform, while working with diverse talent and innovative technology. You'll have the opportunity to contribute to the growth of an ever-expanding scale-up with your ideas and testing experience.

What will you be doing?
A day in the life of a Plytix Quality Assurance Engineer is an exciting one. You'll be collaborating on compelling challenges, like taking an active role in Test Case design and execution. Your days will be filled with making sure that the platform is scalable and robust. You'll need to ensure code is implemented, following the latest design patterns and best practices, to accomplish functional and non-functional benchmarks. You'll get involved in quality processes within an Agile development life cycle, from requirement and user story analysis to automated tests validation, working hand in hand with the QA, Development and Product teams. All in all, you'll be a busy bee. But don't worry, there'll always be time to crack open a beer and have fun!

After 1 month:
You'll have a good understanding of our favorite tools and processes. You'll be involved in QA activities while learning about the testing process throughout the development life cycle. You'll begin executing validation and regression tests and will be able to design test cases in a proper format.

After 3 months:
At this point you're becoming a true Plytix QA, guiding the testing strategy. You're planning the manual testing strategy with your colleagues while also working more independently. You are confident enough to take part in peer reviews together with developers. You still have some supervision, but at this point, you are comfortable with what you are doing. You are participating in sprints and beginning to integrate well into the team workflow.

6 months in:
You're an important team player. You work as well (and as fast) as any other team member! You're collaborating with other departments to find the best possible solutions so that our system is the best on the market. You're designing and prioritizing functional and non-functional tests for their later execution. By now you are confident in your role, reviewing and approving other quality engineers (always following our standards, of course!).

Who will you be working with?
You'll be working closely with the Support manager ensuring that escalated incidents are investigated thoroughly with the customer experience in mind. You will be monitoring, diagnosing, proposing and developing solutions for these challenges. But they aren't the only shining face you'll be working with on a daily basis. You'll also be colaborating with the Customer Success and Development teams to keep customers smiling about how amazing their Plytix PIM is.

About our culture

If you love reading 'empowering' phrases like 'vibrant collective' and 'innovative individuals,' then be prepared to be disappointed…

That's because to get a typical result, you have to do only typical things. But that's not really our style.

We're a community of chill and fun-loving humans who believe that work doesn't have to be boring. We make each day exciting by collaborating together and enjoying the occasional bout of silliness: like a pool competition, potluck, party, or game of padel.

We're kind of the cool kids in the PIM playground (if we do say so ourselves), and we love to challenge the status quo to help anyone break free from f*#king boring spreadsheets.

PLYTIX is a company committed to diversity and equality. Therefore, all our selection processes guarantee equal opportunities for all candidates regardless of race, color, religion, sex, origin, nationality, age, disability, sexual orientation, and gender identity. All employment decisions are based on business needs, job requirements, merit, and individual qualifications.
