Mycelium is hiring a

QA Engineer (blockchain)

Mycelium is a rapidly expanding network that is looking for driven and talented individuals to Reimagine Trust. We are a collective of software engineers, data scientists, economists and creatives, whom are committed to the future of a decentralised web. Our efforts focus on two distinct areas: data and finance. Mycelium is a globally distributed company with offices in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sunshine Coast and team members in London, Lisbon, Helsinki, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Bangalore, Toronto, Montréal, Dallas, Chicago, Austin and New York.

As the team continues to expand, we are looking for a QA Engineer, who will work with both the Product and Software Development teams.

The QA Engineer will understand BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) well enough to be an advocate within the Product team and help formalise requirements in a structure/syntax that the Development team can use as basis for generating acceptable feature tests. The QA Engineer will also need to be code-aware enough to validate that written tests are correctly implementing the equivalent of what the Product team has defined and will be charged with ensuring these are included within automation tooling for QA as part of an overall automated deployments workflow.

As a decentralised organisation, this role can be based anywhere in the world. See specifics in Requirements. #LI-Remote

Our Values

Transparency
Our mission is to 'Reimagine Trust'. In order to reimagine trust, one must begin by reimagining transparency. We believe that the future of corporate practice is for entities to become radically transparent.

Innovation
We are innovation maximalists looking to build on the cutting edge of technology with global solutions. Everything about Mycelium - from its products and services to its management of people and workflows - has innovation sewn into it.

Freedom
Freedom is the value which secures the meaningful expression of all others. To operate freely in the world and not jerk to the strings of another is axiomatic. There is no life without freedom, at least not one worth living.

Independence
Freedom is the right to walk in any direction; independence is choosing the right direction. To blaze a trail with an independence of thought and purpose is something that few have the courage to do. To walk independently is the greatest of privileges.

Community
Strong individuals can be great, but strong communities can be greater still. Choosing the right community will determine how fully you abide by these values. Never underestimate the power of a community who shares the same North Star.
