Software Quality Assurance Engineer - Critical Thinker to Help Us Build Tomorrow’s Future

We are in search of an Big Data Testing Professional to ensure that testing is well executed. The Quality Assurance Engineer II/III, does this by ensuring that every phase and feature of the software solution is dynamicly tested, fully analyzed and diagnosed so that any potential issue is identified and resolved before the product goes live via our automated testing solution.

As a Quality Assurance Engineer II/III, you will be involved throughout the development lifecycle of the American Credit Acceptance Qualtiy Assurance team with particular responsibility in Enterprise Data warehouse (ETL) testing of ETL development with emphasis on development and implementation of ETL manual testing and automation. You'll be involved in the creation of business requirements inputting the test scripts and test scenarios to ensure developers understand the business requirements so that they can be effectively tested. You will be working closely with developers as they develop code to ensure requirements are being met and to the correct quality, and you will conduct automated (and manual tests where necessary) to ensure the software created is fit for purpose. During testing you will be thinking “outside of the box” to understand the various scenarios and configurations that customers use to ensure customer quality is maintained and through doing so drive regression testing across the products. You will be responsible for defining and driving innovative manual and automated testing strategies and toolsets into our overall Quality Assurance processes that support and enhance the current Quality Assurance processes within American Credit Acceptance.
