QA Tester (Working Student)

We are Berlin Bytes, where creativity and diversity meet tech. Sure, we're a Berlin-based digital agency like many others, but what sets us apart is how we collaborate and approach our work. We're young, diverse, and believe in the freedom of expression. Sound like your kind of place?

We offer full-cycle digital services - everything from Consulting/Research, UX/UI Design, Web Development, to Marketing and Product Ownership. We treat each project as if it's our very own, and this philosophy has led us to work with a range of clients, from Berlin's upcoming fashion start-ups to large industrials. So, you can expect to deep dive into a multitude of industries and work on a diverse array of projects.

Now, we're on the lookout for a QA Tester to join our team as a Working Student. As our software detective, you'll dive into our software, sniff out bugs, and make sure our customers get the best experience possible.

Your mission will include:

• Understanding Requirements: You'll dive into the software requirements and specifications, getting to grips with what we're building and why.
• Planning Tests: You'll draw up detailed plans that outline what we're testing, how we're doing it, and when it all needs to happen.
• Developing Test Cases: You'll write out specific scenarios to test our software's functionality. It's like setting traps for bugs, and you're the master trapper!
• Executing Tests: You'll run your well-laid tests, manually or with automation tools, to find any defects hiding in our software.
• Reporting Bugs: When you find a bug (because we know you will), you'll document it so our developers can squash it.
• Retesting After Fixes: You'll retest the software after bugs have been fixed, ensuring they're really gone and haven't left any unwelcome surprises.
• Performance and Security Testing: You'll be our guard dog for software performance and security, making sure our software can handle the pressure and keeps our users' data safe.
• Documentation: You'll document your epic bug-hunting journey, sharing your tales of triumph (a.k.a test results) with the team.

Now, here's what we're looking for:

• Keen Eye for Detail: We need someone who can spot a bug from a mile away.
• Problem-Solving Skills: You'll need to love a good challenge and have the skills to overcome them.
• Fluency in English and German: Communication is key, and we need someone who can clearly convey their thoughts and findings in English as well as in German.
• Knowledge of Scrum or other Agile methods: We move fast and change directions quickly, so you'll need to be comfortable working in an Agile environment.
• First Working Experience in the SDLC: We want someone who knows how software is made, preferably with some hands-on experience in the software development lifecycle.

You'll join a team of passionate people who love what they do. We believe in work-life balance and building a culture that encourages learning and innovation. Plus, you'll make a significant difference in the quality of software we deliver to our customers. And we don’t forget about:
