Quality Assurance Analyst

Doing business to business, person to person. Payworks is a leading workforce management solutions provider and multi-year winner of the Canada’s Best Managed Companies program. We are proud to be Canadian owned and operated as well as committed to developing world-class products and providing a progressive workplace culture where Doing Right by People is our purpose.

With clients of all sizes from coast to coast and more than 500 employees, we currently have an exciting opportunity on our Quality Assurance team for the right candidate. Because when it comes to great people, there’s always room for one more.

Payworks develops proprietary, integrated SaaS-based products in the payroll, human resources and time and attendance space. We create, deploy and maintain our own solutions; this requires a talented team of Quality Assurance (QA) Analysts who will ensure we deliver quality products and solutions to our end users by analyzing software requirements and executing software testing. Using destructive creativity, the ultimate goal of the QA Analyst is to “break things” throughout the entire development process, allowing the team to address the issues before releasing to end users.

• Comprehensive employer paid benefits for you and your family and excellent pension plan with employer contributions.
  
• Plenty of professional development opportunities.
• Community-minded culture – Receive two paid days per year to volunteer and lots of opportunity to “Pay it Forward”.

• Summon your destructive nature – We build great products that delight our customers! Review requirements, identify risks, create and execute tests in an effort to identify issues before products are in production. You will perform test of all kinds, log defects and create quality tickets in JIRA to ensure stories meet the defined acceptance criteria and follow through on product defects from failure to resolution.
• Work as part of an awesome team – Support, collaborate, cooperate and create with cross-functional teams to implement quality products for our end users. To ensure we release high quality software, you will collaborate with some talented folks, including Business Analysts, Product Designers, Developers and Technical Leads, on Agile-based product development teams. We feel that exceptional and innovative development comes naturally to teams that are having fun and working together.
• Make great products even better – Contribute to organizational readiness activities, including product documentation, user training, and internal/external launch communications. We are user focused and motivated to deliver high quality products that exceed our customers’ expectations.
