We are seeking a skilled Senior Software Test (QA) Engineer to join the Freeway Tech Team.

You will have in-depth knowledge of — and IRL experience in — evaluating software functionality and designing test strategies and protocols to ensure that products work as intended. You will also be responsible for completing all testing procedures, suggesting performance changes, and documenting results in our QA system.

You will have a solid understanding of how modern applications take advantage of Node.js and React to streamline development and provide slick, intuitive experiences for users across all platforms.

You will be collaborating with our entire Tech Team on a regular basis. You’re a team player who enjoys collaboration but you can also be relied upon to solve problems and build solutions independently when needed. You will work in partnership with our designers and developers and will play a critical role in developing Freeway apps. You will help us architect, test and deliver products that are elegant, fast and sustainable.

You will also be responsible for monitoring platform and performance analytics, identifying opportunities for improvement.

Most importantly, you are active in crypto, know it’s the future and want to be part of the revolution. This is an opportunity to help shape a revolutionary fintech brand that is set to take the industry by storm.
