• 2+ years customer service experience or other experience in a high communication role.

Our Culture

• We re a remote company. We are spread out all over the country. Daytime availability is required for syncing with the team via Slack or Zoom, but Quality Assurance Analysts enjoy all the flexibility remote working has to offer. Want to go on a mountain bike ride in the middle of the day Cool, don t forget your helmet! Need to pick the kids up from school Nice, you ve got parent of the year in the bag. We stay connected through both synchronous and asynchronous communications.
• We work hard and move fast. We re working on many different websites with varying underlying technologies. You ll see a lot of pages and forms and there s not a lot of automation. Maintaining quality while working on so much requires more than just checking boxes, you ll need to think critically.
• Again, we re a remote company. That makes communication including writing and reading comprehension extremely important. This is not a simple pull tickets and give sign off gig. Successful applicants enjoy collaborating across teams, defining and clarifying needs, documenting processes, improving processes, and uploading custom emoji to Slack.
