Who We Are

NewGlobe supports visionary governments to transform public education systems, the cornerstone of a prosperous, equitable, and peaceful society.

With a comprehensive system transformation platform and data-driven educational services, NewGlobe delivers rapid and dramatic improvements in learning outcomes at state and nationwide scale. Through building impactful partnerships and programmes, NewGlobe ensures that all children have access to an education that will develop their full potential and create a foundation for growth and prosperity. 

NewGlobe leverages more than a decade of educational experience and proven impact in integrated school management, teacher professional development, instructional design innovation, technological system support, child-centered classroom practice, and parent engagement -- all grounded in learning science -- to ensure each teacher is empowered to engage children in transformational learning, and all children have the opportunity to develop to their full potential. Every day, NewGlobe supports governments to solve what were once seen as intractable problems, and by doing so, ensures this generation will be able to grow up to lead more fulfilled lives, while simultaneously building economic prosperity for themselves, their communities, and the globe. 

NewGlobe’s high-touch, intensive professional development programs, along with integrated school management, teacher support, and assessment software, enable schools to succeed. NewGlobe works within state and national curriculum and syllabi, ensuring all children are empowered to learn their own history, and master local content, while being globally competitive in mathematics and languages. The science of behaviour change and the science of learning is at the foundation of all programming. 

NewGlobe works with urgency because youth quickly becomes adulthood and relentlessly because improvement requires continuous problem-solving. NewGlobe is honored to serve and to help rebuild trust in public systems. 

NewGlobe’s work is all encompassing and will challenge you to use your full mind, and heart, each day. We need bright minds who want to be part of building a new globe -- a more equitable globe -- to join us. 

Technology Group

Technology plays a critical role enabling us to provide transformative education at massive scale in highly resource constrained environments. This is one of the key elements that gives us the ability to deliver radically impactful programmes, creating brighter futures for a generation of children across the world each day. Technology spans several key functions, including product management, business intelligence, software development and IT operations. 

Working with us, passionate technologists have a chance to directly change the world. No kidding.

Software Development Department

The software development department handles all aspects of delivery related to our custom software applications and services - everything that it takes to turn an idea into working software and delivering value to our users. The department is structured into cross-functional, self-organising teams that work together on projects, short and long, alongside product designers and key business stakeholders.

About the Role

We are looking for a full time Quality Assurance Engineer to join our Amsterdam team remotely, cross-functional software development teams, which will build the software that powers and improves our platform of educational tools. The team will have a special focus on the parts of the system that are more customer facing, experimental, or strategically important. The key to the QA role on our teams is  being a divergent thinker with a curious mind - a collaborator with developers in building great software, not an adversary, nor an order taker.

If you’re looking to be a gatekeeper, NewGlobe will not be right for you. If you’re looking to get a perfect set of requirements handed to you, NewGlobe will not be right for you. On the other hand, if you’re all about being an enabler of teams, curiosity and innovation, and more than anything, about automation and repeatability, then NewGlobe might just be your next gig.

You will report to one of our software development team leads.

What You Will Do

  • Collaborate with team members and business stakeholders to define acceptance criteria for software development projects, including participation in the design and estimation of new software to ensure that testing is not an afterthought
  • Create and execute testing plans that include an appropriate combination of manual and automated testing, carefully reporting issues using structured tools and standards
  • Advocate for a culture of automation and repeatability - and then get your hands dirty to make it a reality
  • Follow testing practices to ensure the functional correctness, usability, scalability, and security of NewGlobe software
  • Help resolve “works on my machine” automated testing issues by pairing with our software developers to run down environmental, network, or other complicating factors
  • Deliver and manage automated testing tools for the constantly evolving needs of our various software platforms, including a range of web and mobile applications running across a variety of devices
  • Integrate automated testing tools into build pipelines to promote a culture of continuous delivery
  • Participate in the design, rollout, and use of monitoring tools in order to identify and resolve issues and ensure continuous integration of data into warehouses
  • Devise approaches for validating and monitoring off-the-shelf and third-party software
  • Participate in the design and use of application monitoring tools to reduce mean time to response and to maximise uptime
  • Provide third-line technical support to in-house users

What You Should Have

  • Bachelor's degree with excellent academic performance
  • 2-4 years overall commercial software experience at the enterprise level
  • Knowledge of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC)
  • Experience with different testing tools and patterns, such as contract testing for APIs and  end-to-end testing for apps. Proficiency with other types of testing, such as load testing, penetration and security testing, or usability testing a major plus
  • Comfort with both Windows and Linux/Ubuntu and Version Control System (Git, Azure DevOps Repos)
  • A desire to learn new tech stacks and frameworks - if you’ve only got experience in a particular platform and you think that makes it the right answer, NewGlobe is not right for you
  • Nice to haves:
  • DevOps experience at the enterprise level
  • Hands-on experience across with a continuous delivery platforms (e.g. Jenkins, Go.CD, CircleCI, TFS)
  • Hands-on experience with Code as Infrastructure tools (Puppet, Chef, Ansible, etc.)
  • Experience in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure)
  • Experience in containerisation (Docker) and containerisation infrastructure (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, etc.)
  • Security Testing, OWASP Top 10
  • SQL queries for data validation
  • A proactive mindset and comfort working without constant supervision
  • Flexibility to respond to the changing needs of the business
  • Ability to prioritise and carry out multiple tasks
  • Fast learner, energetic, and enthusiastic
