QA Engineer (Go, blockchain, distributed system)

Swarm is a system of peer-to-peer networked nodes for a decentralized storage and communication service.

Swarm could shape the future towards a self-sovereign global society and permissionless open markets. On Swarm, applications run autonomously yet securely in a planetary-scale deployment and execution environment.

Bee is a Swarm client implemented in Go. It’s the basic building block for the Swarm Network. Bee provides low level constructs for file storage, feeds, key-value stores and untraceable communication, through solid, well-tested code delivered in an agile manner.

Key technologies are Go, libp2p, protobuf, leveldb, and go-ethereum, as well as various cryptographic libraries.

Your role: This role expects the candidate to function as a large node operator, conducting testing and immersing themselves in the responsibilities of node operators. This requires experience in a comparable QA position, as well as an interest in DevOps-related areas. However, we consider motivation and initiative-taking to be the most crucial qualities that the ideal candidate should possess.

The responsibilities of the role: Writing and executing end-to-end test scenarios on testnet and mainnet in order to assure performance and reliability. Submit detailed bug reports and issues to our developers' team. Give the green light to the developers' team to proceed with a release. Be an active part in shaping the way our products are built by analyzing how functionality, user experience and performance could be improved.

This role is an excellent opportunity, as in the future we expect the QA team to grow and therefore this role could open the possibility of becoming the QA team lead.
