QA Engineer - Lingumi｜Meet.jobs

Why Lingumi 

Our mission is to help children (2-6) all around the world learn critical skills, affordably and effectively, from the world's best teachers. We teach more effectively than a live teacher, for a fraction of the price, making education scalable, effective, and accessible through asynchronous learning and communication. We've started with speaking English, and have already built the most effective, affordable and fun way to do so - all through a connected mobile or tablet.

Our people are a smart bunch, brought together by our mission, and work extremely hard to deliver on what is required. We can clearly see how our role plays a key part in the company's success and are super hungry to grow in our careers. We aim to consistently achieve great results, but if we don't, that's ok - we learn from our mistakes and progress forward. We're humble in our approach and are team players. Collectively, we speak over eight languages in the team and are spread across four hubs - London, Cardiff, Singapore and Shenzhen.

Our customers love what we do and advocate our mission. We really care about their child's development, providing them with the critical skills that they need to succeed in life. Parents praise us and children love us - with some families using Lingumi for over three years. Together, we're only at the beginning of what we can achieve.

Our technology allows us to create innovative ways to teach the Lingumi children in new ways - we're working on ground-breaking technology that will revolutionise how they learn. Children can connect to their friends and other children from around the world, to learn together, and take us one step closer to connecting this world and making it a better place.

Our investors and advisors range from Europe's best VC's, including Local Globe and ADV, to advisors such as Michael O'Sullivan, former CEO of Cambridge Assessment and the British Council in China.

How we get there 

We’re on an exciting trajectory - over the last year we've gained incredible traction through the first course on our platform, and are rapidly scaling our customer base, particularly across mainland China, and Taiwan. However, our target is to teach 100 million children critical skills by 2025, so we're only just beginning!

We are hiring our first QA Engineer, and are looking for a talented, creative, and ambitious individual to join us. This role is suited for someone who wants to take the next step and sees themselves as a future leader - this is the first QA role in the team providing ample growth opportunity and a chance to establish the QA culture and values within the company.

• Working closely with our Engineers to architect and build out our automated testing capabilities.
• Manage our bug backlog - working with our Customer Support team to understand the impact and be able to advise on priority
• Lead our device testing strategy - making sure we have awareness of device specific issues, understanding the performance of our product on both low end and high end devices, and how changes (such as future OS updates) will affect us

• Consistently growing and focused on self improvement
• Experienced with automated mobile testing tools and strategies
• Experienced working alongside developers to leverage automated testing frameworks

• Our backend services run on AWS and AWS China using Node.JS on Lambda, Api Gateway, DynamoDB and S3 with Cloudfront. We will also be exploring how we can use Alicloud to support our expansion in China
• We use Github to host our code and we use CircleCI for automated testing and builds

The benefits of working for Lingumi 

• Generous salary and equity packages
• Company laptop (if you need one)
• 20 days of paid holiday, plus the week of Chinese New Year (for CN/SG team members) or the Christmas to New Year break, as paid leave
• Coaching on request depending on your needs - whether you need someone to talk to on a regular basis outside of work, or specifically on developing your leadership skills. We have an extensive network and will put you in touch with the right coach for your needs
• We ask you to be in your Hub for the majority of the working week. You can spend some of the week working from the comfort of your home, or even in your favourite coffee shops. If you do decide to work outside of your hub, be sure to book this on internal system. Outside of core meetings, you can organise your time how you want - some team members use less productive afternoon hours for personal wellness things like going to the gym or getting a haircut
• We offer a Productivity and Wellness budget (£100pm) to use on growth and wellness
• We take the team on an annual retreat for 1 week (usually somewhere warm)

Our Mission

Lingumi is on a mission to provide the world's best teaching experience to pre-school children around the world through technology.

Our Culture

We have a world-class team spread across 4 cities around the world and come from all different walks of life - we collectively speak over 8 languages and some of us have mini Lingumi toddlers of our own. Even though we are all so different and diverse, we are all tied together by the same belief, that we can change the world of tomorrow through the children of today. Even though we're all hard-working and mission-driven, we're also genuine, friendly and authentic - celebrating each other in our wins and supporting each other in our improvements. Whichever way it goes, we are all determined to achieve great results in a positive manner. However, we're not all yes people. We are people who believe in challenging ethically, having honest and open conversations, and giving and receiving consistent feedback to help better one another.

Our People

• Mission-driven
• Hard-working
• Smart
• Humble
• Authentic

Our Traction

Over the last 9 months we've grown over 600%, generating millions in revenue and have taught over 5 million lessons to over 150,000 young learners. This is just the beginning! Our first course focused on spoken English is 95% cheaper and 630% faster at teaching spoken English compared to an equivalent classroom experience. 

This year, we're turning from a single learning course application to a multi-course platform, where the world's best teachers can teach critical skills to pre-school children all around the world, irrespective of their background or level of wealth. Lingumi will be the company to reduce the gap between high cost of education and great education.

Our Investors

We're backed by some of the world's best investors and recently, preemptively, raised our Series A. Dr Min Wanli, who is on our board, was the Chief Data Scientist at Alibaba. Michael O'Sullivan was the CEO of Cambridge Assessments, bringing English Assessments to the Far East.
