DESCRIPTION
In the Kindle Reader Engineering org, we inspire customers to read more and get more out of reading, every day on all their devices. We deliver experiences that make Kindle the “indispensable” way to read, so that once customers try it they can’t imagine reading any other way. We help people find more moments and more ways to discover and enjoy books, periodicals, and other content they love. We innovate and deliver features designed to acquire new customers, get more of them to buy and read their first book, and inspire them to read more books more often. We deliver a beautiful experience across devices that is functionally consistent and authentic to the devices it lives on. We build better and faster. We break projects into iteratively shippable MVPs, delivering them via consistent release trains. We invest in mechanisms to increase our velocity and quality, including making cross-OS development more efficient and less expensive. And we work with upstream and downstream partners to make integration more efficient and agile, empowering them to extend our experience.
Our Quality Assurance Engineers are part of building a delightful experience that we deliver to customers. The engineers have the opportunity to work with multiple stakeholders from product managers to beta customers. The features are cross-OS and the QA engineers carry the responsibility to test and deliver in these environments. They get opportunities to work on solving difficult test strategies along with the development team. We test on multiple surfaces as we support Kindle for Android, Kindle for iOS, Kindle on Amazon Fire tablets and Kindle E-readers.
We are looking for a Quality Assurance Engineer who will be thrilled to work on our engagement features that customers love and enjoy in their everyday reading.
