[Hiring] QA & Product Support Engineer @H&S Energy Group

Role Description

H&S Energy is hiring a QA & Product Support Engineer to own software quality, release readiness and adoption for everything our development team builds. This role sets the quality standard for each release, decides whether it is ready to go to production, evaluates and prioritizes defects and Owner requests, and designs how business Owners are trained and supported so that each deliverable works and is used.

The role works independently under general direction, applying specialized knowledge of our systems to advise Owners and the development team, and making judgment calls on quality, risk and priorities that affect how the business runs.

Responsibilities and Duties

• Define Quality & Approve Releases
  • Learn the scope, requirements and intended behavior of every project assigned to the development team, and assess the business and technical risk each release carries.
  • Define the test strategy and coverage for each project, deciding what functional, regression, integration and end-to-end testing is needed based on risk and impact.
  • Make the release-readiness decision at the stage site: approve or hold the exact tested commit before it is promoted to the production intranet, and explain the decision to the development team and Owners.
  • Evaluate and prioritize defects by severity and business impact, and decide which are fixed now, scheduled or escalated.
• Analyze & Improve Systems & Processes
  • Analyze how modules, integrations and data flows behave across the intranet and connected systems to find root causes of defects and recurring problems.
  • Recommend changes to test practices, release procedures, automation and team standards, and implement approved improvements, including automated end-to-end tests and pipeline checks.
  • Attend planning and review sessions and advise the development team on testability, risk and release sequencing.
• Advise & Train Business Owners
  • Advise Owners on how each deliverable fits their workflows, including technical risks, limitations and options.
  • Design the training and adoption approach for each deliverable, choosing the walkthroughs, guides and demos that fit the audience, and deliver it.
  • Assess whether Owners are using each deliverable as intended, identify gaps and workarounds, and recommend workflow or product changes to Owners and management.
• Evaluate Requests & Resolve Issues
  • Evaluate feedback and requests from Owners and turn them into prioritized recommendations, feature requests and bug reports for the development team.
  • Diagnose and fix bugs and make feature changes directly in the codebase, following team standards for code review and version control.
  • Verify each fix or feature in production after release, and decide whether further changes or retraining are needed.
  • Hand larger changes to the development team with a clear analysis, reproduction steps and a recommended approach.
