QA Engineer

Background :

Berachain is a high-performance, EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatible, Layer 1 blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK. We're a young, world-class team of experts in computer science, type theory, economic game theory, risk management and enterprise development. Our team combines traditional experience in building and scaling teams at technology companies like Apple, Coinbase, IBM and Y-Combinator with crypto native experience from some of DeFi’s most impactful protocols. We're all highly passionate about Web3, Toybox and building infrastructure to bring decentralized finance to the masses. Our core engineering team is based in Toronto. Here at Berachain, you’ll be joining a world-class team of experienced founders, engineers and researchers passionate about designing sustainable economic and blockchain systems. We’re well funded by a group of leading digital asset investors, hedge funds, centralized exchange venture arms and strategic angels.

We are looking for self-starters and mission driven individuals to join us as we build the future of decentralized finance. The ideal candidate for this role takes initiative and ownership over their work, thrives in a fast-paced and highly collaborative in-person environment, and is capable of rapidly adapting to evolving needs as required.

Role Overview :

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated QA Engineer to join our team, focusing on the testing and quality assurance of our decentralized applications. The ideal candidate will be proficient in both front-end and back-end testing, ensuring our applications deliver seamless and reliable user experiences. While the immediate priority will be front-end testing, the role will eventually encompass broader system testing to ensure the robustness and scalability of our decentralized solutions. Our ideal candidate will be responsible for conducting tests before product launches to ensure software runs effectively and review system requirements and track quality assurance metrics.

Responsibilities :

• Front-End Testing :
• Develop and execute comprehensive test plans and test cases for front-end components of decentralized applications.
• Identify, document, and track bugs related to UI / UX issues.
• Collaborate with developers and designers to ensure the highest quality of user interfaces.
• Back-End and API Testing :
• Design and implement automated tests for APIs and back-end services.
• Perform functional, integration, and performance testing on server-side components.
• Ensure data integrity and security in decentralized systems through rigorous testing protocols.
• Broader Systems Testing :
• Contribute to the development and execution of end-to-end testing strategies for decentralized applications.
• Participate in continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI / CD) processes, ensuring robust and automated quality checks at every stage of development.
• Conduct load and stress testing to evaluate system performance under varying conditions.
• General QA Activities :
• Maintain comprehensive documentation of test plans, test cases, and test results.
• Monitor and report on quality metrics, highlighting areas for improvement.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to refine and enhance testing methodologies and practices.
