External Description:

Software Quality Engineer
Location: Tijuana, BC (Zona Rio)

The Teradata culture isn’t just about one kind of person.  So many individuals make up who we are, making us that much more unique.  It’s what sets apart the dynamic, diverse, and collaborative environment that is Teradata.  But even as individuals, there’s one thing that we all share —our united goal of making Teradata and our people, the best we can be.

Our Team

The main building block of Teradata is its SQL Engine. We work on all components of a database from parsing SQL queries to dispatching them for processing and returning results to the user. This sounds simple but involves locking, hashing, distributing, and many other core concepts and touches many other parts of a system in addition to query processing. And, all this will now happen in the cloud and include dynamic compute-only groups as well other cloud-specific challenges.

What You’ll Do

As a Software Quality Engineer, you will be responsible for working with the Teradata Cloud Testing Team, leading in defining and maintaining the procedures and technologies for the testing functions of the project.  Successful candidates would participate in our testing process and all the related technologies, environments, and scenarios (including functional, performance, feature interaction, and regression testing) required to ensure a successful product development life cycle and delivery.  They will be well versed in working in and contributing to a fully agile and automated deployment and testing process.

Your Business Objectives would include

  • Contribute to the testing effort for complex features which includes designing test scenarios, creating test plans, implementing, automating, executing test cases, and reporting software defects.  This needs to be done in virtual, bare-metal on-premise, and cloud environments.
  • Isolate problems and aid in debugging
  • Review design specs
  • Write test specifications mapping tests to technical requirements
  • Create and improve test modules and frameworks and database schemas to satisfy automation, re-use, testing, and reporting.
  • Interact with engineers from other organizations to simulate internal and customer-like test scenarios which help validate the product.
  • Identify and propose areas of improvement throughout the software development process.
  • Work on test enhancements and quality initiatives to improve the quality of the features and product.
  • Identify feature interactions and develop feature interaction tests considering various dimensions such as query, feature, supportability, software module, configuration, physical database design, and data.     

Required Background

  • 2+ years of experience testing enterprise software
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or another related degree
  • Current USA B1 Visa (or ability to obtain as a condition of employment)
  • Fluent in English and Spanish with good oral and written communication skills

  • Familiarity with SQL Programming to understand and develop complex SQL queries
  • Experience with Linux/UNIX operating systems and shell scripting (bourne, c-shell, k-shell)
  • Experience using Github for source control management
  • Exposure to testing software in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Experience developing user interfaces and dashboards
  • Ability to work in a small team of developers and quality engineers focused on testing a related set of features
  • Motivated self-starter, with a high capacity for rapid learning and meticulous attention to detail  
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision

Preferred Experience

  • Experience in an Agile development process such as Scrum
  • Experience with Jenkins to build, test, and deploy software
  • Test automation experience
  • Experience in database administration, testing database applications, or testing databases
  • Knowledge or experience using Docker containers and CICD Pipelines
