Manual Tester (Guidewire)

We are looking for a self-reliant QA Specialist (Mid-Level) to join our IT Delivery Team in the Claim Center area. You will be the sole QA responsible for ensuring quality within the team – playing a key role in planning, executing, and reporting on tests related to projects and changes in the Guidewire system. Your responsibility will be to establish and maintain high-quality standards in the testing process – from requirements analysis to supporting user acceptance testing (UAT) and production releases.

In our work environment, communication, friendly relationships, and mutual support play a crucial role in our projects being successful and our customers being satisfied. If you are a team player, you like collaborating with others and you feel that the work floor is also a place to set up long-lasting friendly relationships with other colleagues, then Aspire is the right place for you.

We provide a lot of opportunities to gain new knowledge and experience including training, workshops, conferences, knowledge-sharing meetings, and peer reviews. We are a people-centric company and believe that if our people grow, we grow with them.
