This is an incredible opportunity for a Front End QA Engineer who wants to work closely with software development and business teams to build software user interfaces for a variety of financial solutions. We are looking for a self-motivated QA engineer to join our team to own all aspects of QA and testing (functional, performance, load, security, etc). Your QA and testing expertise will allow Apex to deliver features quickly to market while maintaining the high level of quality our users deserve.
Who You Are:

• You are a strong hands-on QA/Test Engineer that can own the QA process and policies.
• You are driven and hungry to make an impact.
• You are a dynamic thinker, have an entrepreneurial spirit and a business sense to identify opportunities.
• You like to move fast and deliver application value early.

What you will do all day:

• Design, develop, and execute automated and manual software tests and incorporate them into our CI/CD workflow.
• Ensure adequate testing and usability of development code prior to release to production.
• Maintain technical and functional expertise across the entire application stack and collaborate with Product Owners and development teams.
• Create and implement detailed, comprehensive and well-structured test plans and test cases.
• Identify, record, document and track bugs.
• Perform thorough regression testing when bugs are resolved.
• Participate in software release deployment testing, QA and unplanned outage resolution incidents that may occur.
• Create bug reproduction scripts.
• Assist with ad-hoc troubleshooting, testing, and debugging.
• Identify risks and prepare mitigation plans.
• Perform problem solving and root cause analysis when defects occur.
• Engage with development teams in defect resolution
• Display commitment to continuous learning and improvement of development and quality strategies

What you need to succeed:

• A degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or other demanding engineering degree (or equivalent work experience)
• 3 - 5 years of QA/Test engineering experience
• Experience working in an Agile/Scrum environment
• Ability to work on multiple projects in a fast-paced work environment
• A strong proficiency and in-depth understanding of front-end technologies, especially typescript, react, and CSS
• A passion for UX: you understand in your bones that page speed, asset size, and critical render path all affect your users. Pixel-perfect layout may or may not be your thing, but you know that a subtly bad form can ruin a user's impression of your application.
• Adaptability: while you enjoy establishing processes and standards, you understand the need to be flexible and enjoy trying new things.
• Ability to learn new and unfamiliar technologies quickly, as required
