Are you ready to aim high and build to last?

The Role

We are looking for our first Senior Software Development Engineer in Test to lead our test infrastructure engineering efforts.

• 
  
• You will build test frameworks that enable rapid software development with a focus on stability and quality.
• 
  
• You'll drive the development of our test infrastructure, while balancing ease-of-use and versatility.
• 
  
• You'll build infrastructure for chaos testing, benchmarking, and visualizing results.
• 
  
• You'll explore new, innovative approaches to testing, so we can improve test effectiveness and increase engineering productivity.

The Expectations

In your first 30 days, you will determine where we are with testing and where we need to be. You'll begin to build relationships within the engineering team and start driving the adoption of standard methodologies in testing and maintainability. We believe that it's important for you to take this time to become familiar with our technology and our company.

After 3 months, you'll be fully integrated into the team. You will expand and maintain our test data sets and continuously improve test frameworks, including stress tests, unit tests, nightly end-to-end tests, ORM test suites, and continuous integration. You help with the qualification of our releases and ensure that tests are automated and repeatable. We'd like you to build upon our existing infrastructure as well, which automatically identifies regressions and other technical issues.

As we continue to scale, you will also have the opportunity to grow the team to accommodate higher demands for testing. You will ensure that our test infrastructure grows with us and keeps on improving.
