Who We Are:
Atheneum is a leading global insights platform servicing various clients including distinguished strategy consulting firms, renowned investment houses and well known global corporations. Our mission is to provide faster insights to empower our clients’ decision making. Through our AI capabilities we accelerate the decision-making of our clients by connecting them to the world's top professionals and industry leaders.
Atheneum is growing rapidly, with 500+ professionals in 11 offices across the US, South America, APAC and EMEA.
Role: Automation Test Engineer (Full-Stack)
Experience: Not less than FIVE years
Reports to: Lead Quality Assurance Engineer
Location: Lahore, Pakistan (English-speaking)
Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent. On-site; CET/CEST (EMEA Office Hours).
Design, implement and review test plans and strategies.
Develop and execute automated test scripts to verify software functionality and performance for both Web and Mobile App platforms.
Collaborate with software engineers to identify and resolve software defects.
Monitor and analyse test results to identify areas for improvement.
Continuously enhance test automation frameworks and methodologies.
Currently, we use the following:
TypeScript, JavaScript, React, MySQL.
Cypress, Appium, Jest, Detox, Postman, K6.
We’re looking for smart people, rather than engineers that can use this tool or that language. You’ll get the opportunity to influence the technology and methodologies we use, but the themes of our stack are:
Microservices.
Serverless.
Cloud computing.
Containerisation.
Distributed systems.
Infrastructure as Code.
We have various projects in flight, but some of the broad initiatives we have planned, and that you will be involved in include:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) Initiatives.
Rebuilding the core Atheneum Client, Expert and Associate technology experience
Supporting major regional expansion through a significant tech transformation initiative.
Web and Mobile app testing for Product-led small change and application support initiatives.
We’re looking for exceptional Quality-Assurance Engineers who excel in dynamic, fast-paced environments. You evangelise testing excellence both within your team and the wider tech community. We’re talking open-source contributions, giving tech talks, attending meetups, giving department-wide brown bags, and leading excellence-driving initiatives within Atheneum.
As a seasoned tester, you will be constantly evolving your craft and building a robust set of principles. You understand that when times are hard, principles should be relied upon, not abandoned.
You will be required to work with teams to ensure the successful delivery of effective, reliable, low-risk solutions that are in line with the business-wide test strategy. As a Test Engineer, you will also assist the Lead and / or Senior Test Engineers in implementing that test strategy.
You must be passionate about testing and test automation, with a strong drive to learn and apply best practices. The role requires an ambitious self-starter who can use their initiative to rapidly add value to Atheneum by providing a full range of test functions.
While quality is essential, you understand that flawless code that never gets to production has zero value. You know when to be pragmatic and value shipping early and often. You have the discipline to revisit imperfect products only when it is appropriate to do so, and you’ll be working as part of a multidisciplinary team to help make that happen.
You will appreciate the difference between when to write an automated test versus when to execute a manual test. You will look for opportunities to automate a previously manual test.
We’re an agile organisation, delivering value early and often, and you should be comfortable working this way, too. You know how to work collaboratively and interactively to incrementally improve the features and functionality of the product with each release. There are no big bangs here!
If you’re passionate about exceptional testing and thrive in an environment that values quality outcomes and continuous improvement, then we're eager to meet you!
