Venture Media is unique.  Think of it like a tech lab, building and evolving great tech ideas and projects with millions of eyeballs on our projects across mobile, social and the web.  The success of our mobile/web/social projects such as BlackFriday.com, Canvus.com, our domain platform Mark.com, Mybible.com (and more) have allowed us the luxury of picking and choosing new or revamped ideas to either run with, or gather learning from to add to another project.

You are a QA Analyst who is ready for an opportunity in a highly versatile, tech incubator environment. Not content to learn just one QA function, your willingness to grasp and improve the building of multiple projects from start to finish and flex your strength at tackling challenges which require a good amount of self-learning and flexibility sets you apart from many in your profession.

Responsibilities

• Prioritize and manage tickets; employ ad hoc testing; bug reporting, analyze and report on feature requirements; manual and automated testing; smoke and regression testing.
  
• Initiate and deploy daily builds
• Touch the project on all levels start to finish, interacting with business, customer service, developers, sys admin and more.

Qualifications

• Minimum of 6 months of experience as QA in software development
• Educational background in Computer Science

Bonus Points

• Experience with one or more code repository tools (e.g., Git, SVN) - Git preferred.
  
• Experience with a programming language - Ruby / Rails preferred.
  
• Experience with Linux command line

• We are creating many different kinds of solutions that range from e-commerce integrations, building social network platforms to reinventing how the piano is played, digital sound processing and even more.
• We have a great office in Yaletown that allows for creativity, inspiration, focused development and play, be sure to apply. Our space includes a music room complete with a baby grand piano, ping pong, organic snacks, bike racks, standing/sitting desks, showers and more.  
• We are privately funded and we don’t answer to clients. This is rare in business and it is fun as it allows us to explore and develop what tech we want to develop. Ideas come both from our CEO and our staff via hackathons, competitions and more.
