Job description

Online interview
At StuDocu, our mission is to empower everyone to excel at their studies by providing the best tools to study more efficiently. StuDocu is the world’s leading community for university students. Every month we help more than 15+ million university students to get smarter, faster. After rapid and profitable growth in the Netherlands, we are now taking the rest of the world by storm fuelled by a further investment of 50 million USD.
 
We’re now at a stage where we ship more and more new features, and the velocity of it will keep on increasing. As our brand new Quality Assurance Engineer, you will partner closely with your two fellow QAs, and Product and Tech teams to ensure the highest product quality through automated and manual testing. We pride ourselves in taking QA very seriously and our current extensive Unit, Functional, API, SEO, JEST and over 200 scenario’s covered by Gherkins tests showcase that. Finally, joining us now gives you the chance to participate in setting up a complete, new automation testing suite - which we aim to do next year.
 
For now, StuDocu adopted a flexible remote-first policy, but we still require our 50+ employees to be located in or near Amsterdam in the Netherlands. We encourage our employees to visit the office once every other week to build relationships and socialize while abiding by the safety rules.
 
We are supporting our new colleagues in the relocation process, so you won't have to be concerned about the administration or costs of plane tickets. If you would like to learn more about relocation to Amsterdam you can check out articles about tax benefits (30% ruling) and why this city is called the biggest tech-hub in Europe or "silicon canals of Europe".
 
What you’ll be doing:
 
  • Create detailed, comprehensive and well-structured test suites and transform them into autotests (PHP-Codeception-Cucumber).
  • Review requirements, specifications and technical design documents to ensure that stories are well defined and have clear acceptance criteria.
  • Perform exploratory, regression, integration, and acceptance testing across all our platforms: web, mobile web, Android and iOS app.
  • Work with QA and development team to increase test coverage.
  • Collect, analyze and report team quality metrics.
  • Report to Sander Kuijk - check him out on LinkedIn.
 
Why you'll love it here:

  • You will have an important say in the product we’re building to aid many millions of students worldwide to excel in their courses.
  • We are open to new ideas and for moving to other testing frameworks.
  • Your own workspace including the hardware of your choosing.
  • Flexible, ambitious, and eager to learn team from 25+ different countries.
  • We follow the proactive QA methodology. That means that you will be involved in the entire life of a story: Ideation, specification, development, testing and releasing.
 
Requirements:
 
  • 3+ years experience in writing automated tests.
  • Experience with Selenium-based testing frameworks, continuous integration tools, and test management/bug tracking tools.
  • Testing code experience with PHP, JS or Python.
