Your Role

We're looking for a Quality Assurance Engineer I to join our new team dedicated to building a world-class mobile experience for the parents of athletes using Hudl. You'll help us launch and scale a brand-new platform that keeps parents connected to their athlete's journey, ensuring every highlight, schedule update, and memory is delivered flawlessly. In this role, you'll lead testing efforts within your squad, focusing on both prevention and efficiency to ensure our users have a seamless experience.

As a Quality Assurance Engineer I, you'll:

• Champion the parent experience. You'll be the voice of quality for our new mobile platform, ensuring that the parents of athletes have a seamless, reliable experience when engaging with their child's sports world.
• Drive mobile-first strategy. You'll attend all squad ceremonies to voice quality concerns, helping the team understand the unique impact of mobile features and the APIs that they rely on, ensuring that manual and automated testing are core to every ticket.
• Test and iterate rapidly. You'll use a mix of automation, exploratory, and manual testing to validate healthy merges and successful releases, ensuring that sub-defects are caught and closed before they ever reach a parent's device.
• Collaborate with your squad. You'll be a vocal advocate for quality in all scrum ceremonies, helping your team understand the impact of defects and ensuring we solve the right problems for our users.

For this role, we're currently considering candidates who live within a commuting distance of our offices in Lincoln or Omaha, Nebraska. But with our flexible work policy, there aren't any current requirements for the number of days you come to the office.

Must-Haves

• Relevant education. A STEM bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
• A problem solver. You can navigate technical and squad challenges comfortably, even when facing changing deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Technical. You have basic coding knowledge in Python or other programming languages and are comfortable with automated testing tools.
• User-focused. You think critically about the user experience and can empathize with those who depend on our tools every day.
• Team player. You work effectively with global teams and demonstrate empathy, kindness and strong communication skills in everything you do.

Nice-to-Haves

• AI tool exposure. Curiosity and exposure to leveraging AI tools (such as LLMs, specialized coding assistants, or test data generators) to increase efficiency in documentation, test case creation, or initial failure diagnosis.
• Mobile testing exposure. You have experience testing iOS or Android applications and an understanding of mobile-specific performance, UI nuances and automation using Appium, Detox, and/or React Native tooling and the associated APIs that apps rely on (protocols such as GraphQL, REST, etc.).
• Naturally curious. You enjoy thinking outside the box and exploring creative ways to break software to make it stronger.
• A constant learner. You're passionate about professional development and always looking for new areas to grow your skills.
• Agile fluency. Experience working within a Scrum framework and participating in sprint ceremonies will help you jump right in.

Our Role

• Champion work-life harmony. We'll give you the flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time, company-wide holidays and timeout (meeting-free) days, remote work options and more) so you can enjoy your personal life too.
• Guarantee autonomy. We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you'll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas. 
• Encourage career growth. We're lifelong learners who encourage professional development. We'll give you tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing.
• Provide an environment to help you succeed. We've invested in our offices, designing incredible spaces with our employees in mind. But whether you're at the office or working remotely, we'll provide you the tech stack and hardware to do your best work.
• Support your mental and physical health. We care about our employees' wellbeing. Our Employee Assistance Program, employee resource groups and fitness partner Peerfit have you covered.
• Cover your medicalinsurance. We have multiple plans to pick from to ensure you'll have the coverage you (and your dependents) want, including vision, dental, fertility healthcare and family forming benefits.
• Contribute to your 401(K). Yep, that's free money. We'll match up to 4% of your own contribution.
