Overview

Skyhook’s QA Engineer tests our SDKs that are deployed on millions of devices. Skyhook’s scalable clusters handle billions of user requests per month and process terabytes of data on a regular basis, so our QA Engineer must be able to test at scale and ensure that our APIs can withstand millions of location requests per hour. 

The QA Engineer is responsible for planning, scoping, and executing tests of new and existing features across multiple projects. Testing will include design review, API testing, functional validation, error handling, and performance testing, as well as automating tests when it is appropriate.

Ability to communicate effectively with developers for the purposes of understanding design goals as well as providing appropriate feedback in the form of bug reports.
