Role
Who you are
- Have a deep need to get to the bottom of problems and cannot rest until you know the answer
- Have some experience setting up end to end testing frameworks and writing automation tests for native devices using Appium
- Like to get into the nitty-gritty details and fully understand how something works
- Want a mix of exploratory testing and automation testing and can recognise when we should take risks and when we shouldn’t
What the job involves
- This is not a typical test engineer role. As our first test engineer hire, you'll be responsible for building a culture of testing at Yonder. You'll be given the autonomy to figure out the best way to do this. This means:
- Working closely with our product, design and engineering teams to ensure testing and quality is part of our decision making process
- Setting up approaches for a wide variety of testing, from performance through to security
- Defining our strategy for shipping at speed and putting in place CI/CD tools and technologies
- You'll also support our weekly app releases on iOS and Android, and ensure our cards have 100% reliability, by:
- Running exploratory testing sessions with the entire team for new feature launches and supporting the team in regression testing the apps before release to our members
- Deep diving into edge cases with other banks and merchants to understand any time a card doesn't work
- Building and developing strategies to ensure changes we make do not impact card reliability
Application process
- Apply via Otta with your CV.
- Hiring manager call (30 min): Initial call to find out more about you and tell you more about us
- Technical interview (60 min): We'll dive deep into your technical experience, and talk about projects you've worked on.
- Values interview (60 min): We want to learn more about how you work - we'll ask you questions related to our company values.
- Take away or pairing test session (60 mins): We’ll give you the choice of a prepared or live case where you’ll have a chance to shine and show us your experience in a practical way!
- Offer: We promise to make a decision within 48 hours.
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Two of Yonder's founders moved to the UK from Australia and despite having a stable income and a mortgage back in Australia, struggled to access high-quality credit products. After realising this was the case for over 8.3M people in the UK, they wanted to make money rewarding and credit-empowering; thus, Yonder was born.
The company promises to offer a modern rewards credit card with no foreign exchange fees, worldwide travel insurance, and more. The team has significant experience in this space, having worked for multiple years at ClearScore, one of the UK's largest consumer credit marketplaces. By prioritising the customer, not the bank, Yonder offers a highly appealing alternative to traditional credit card options.
The company's partnership with Ophelos, a tech firm building fairer debt resolution for businesses, is another step in the direction of the customer. Further, the company has secured significant additional funding to expand into new verticals and launch in new UK cities. As over 30 million people use a credit card just in the UK, Yonder's market potential is huge.
