About the Job:Join a team that is dedicated to helping to ensure that new client launches and expansions go swimmingly.  We need someone as passionate about helping our customers as they are passionate about technology and good engineering practices. We're an agile shop, but we're not fanatics following a religion: we take the pieces that work for us and improve our processes from there. Most importantly, we're still a work in progress, so when we bring you in, you have a lot of room to influence what we do and how we do it. Responsibilities:

  • You will help test each launch.
  • Assist in the creation of the process and tools necessary to scale our ability to test and deploy a rapidly increasing number of clients.
  • Acquire deep knowledge about what is important to our business, and make good decisions about what to test, how deeply to test it, and the risks incurred by what we're not testing.

About You:

  • You have 4+ years of professional test software development experience, as well as a strong web testing background.
  • You are extremely comfortable working with SQL and love digging into databases to understand a complex data model for test set-up and trouble-shooting purposes.
  • You function well in a fast-paced, informal environment where constant change is the norm and the bar for quality is set high.
  • You are comfortable enough with Linux to set-up and maintain your own QA environment.
  • You know that ensuring a good customer experience trumps testing to the spec, because sometimes even the specs have bugs.
  • You enjoy debugging applications to get to the source of the potential issue.
  • You are self-managing and have the ability to adjust to competing priorities and allocate your time as necessary to get the job done.
  • You have a BS in Computer Science or another analytical field.
