At GWI weโ€™re always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. Right now weโ€™re looking for a QA Engineerย to play a key role in our QA Department in Athens. If thatโ€™s you, and making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, keep reading. It could be the start of something, well, extraordinary.

ย 

Sounds great, what will I be doing? ๐Ÿค”

As our QA Engineerย youโ€™ll be responsible for delivering high quality for our customers through the use of test automation processes and DevOps practices. We are using the latest technologies to achieve shift-left testing and we want you to join our wonderful team to empower our tech stack and make an impact on the overall continuous delivery.ย 

Itโ€™s also fun; shaking things up is what working for a growing company is all about. So youโ€™ll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and working in a high-tempo environment as we grow.

ย 

What do I need to bring with me? ๐Ÿงณ

Youโ€™ll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that youโ€™re willing to learn. Hereโ€™s what the team will be looking for:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Knowledge of Test Automation Frameworks (preferred in Cypress and/ or Playwright)
๐Ÿ‘‰ Experience in testing both backend APIs and frontend applications
๐Ÿ‘‰ Experience in at least one industry standard CI/CD platform (Github Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI)
๐Ÿ‘‰ Good understanding of testing microservices and micro frontends.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Experience with GCP services
๐Ÿ‘‰ Knowledge of Typescript
๐Ÿ‘‰ Knowledge of performance testing tools (e.g k6.io, gatling)
๐Ÿ‘‰ Experience with monitoring platforms (e.g Grafana, Prometheus, InfluxDB, Loki)

Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact), ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level, all the time). Those are our values, exemplified by our leadership team, and theyโ€™re a big part of what weโ€™re looking for in you.

ย 

Interview steps ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ

๐Ÿ‘‰ Preliminary phone call with the Talent Team (no video required)
๐Ÿ‘‰ First video interview with the hiring managersย 
๐Ÿ‘‰ Second (and final*) video interviewย with the hiring panel, often including a presentation, followed by a values conversation with members of the wider GWI community.

*Donโ€™t be alarmed if there are other stages in the process, itโ€™s all part of the plan for some of our roles.
