Description
The Gig
Modern Tribe builds a LOT of WordPress projects and plugins. We're looking for someone with a keen attention to detail and a mind for quality, who finds nothing greater in life than picking apart a site or plugin to find bugs / UX failings / missing functionality.
You're a quick learner and enjoy helping people. You've used WordPress a fair bit and appreciate good UI and have a strong sense of detail. You love to solve puzzles and make products better. You are one heck of a communicator. Above all, you care about quality and making sure the products we ship are something the whole team can be proud of.
Keep in mind that this is a freelance position. QA work ebbs and flows depending on the current project queue. Please make sure you've got other avenues of income to keep food on the table during the downtime.
You Will
* Test plugins, websites and apps before they're released to the general public.
* Back up the support team and help our users in a timely and professional fashion.
* Work with our developers to answer questions about bug reports and verify fixes were implemented before release.
* Be available as per the project timeline to work through the list of tickets that are Pending QA.
* Be able to seamlessly move between different QA projects and tasks on a daily basis as needed.
What We Look For
* Speak fluent English and able to do the bulk of your work (and join up to 3x week team meetings as needed) in Pacific Time.
* Matches Modern Tribe's company culture: Happy, Helpful, Curious, Accountable
* Full-time contractor (not a full-time employee who is moonlighting).
* Ability to work & communicate with a distributed team.
* Fast, reliable Internet connection.
* Detail-oriented & well-organized (you like to create stability out of chaos).
* Solid communication skills.
* Transparent attitude & strong self-confidence.
* Are comfortable using WordPress and can crack the hood to make small tweaks.
Bonus Points
* Have WordPress code experience (you know how to use hooks and filters).
* Have CSS and JavaScript experience.
* Are familiar with GIT and setting up local installs of WordPress.
