Software Engineer in Test

About the Role: Software Engineer in Test

You own being a multiplier within the team. Your production is viewed through another engineer’s ability to produce. You build test automation frameworks that reduce the expense of testing. Your focus is to deliver releases with a continuous delivery cadence. When a dependency needs updating, your regression test suite is there to provide fast, reliable confidence that the update is not disruptive for the customers. Once the product is being predictably delivered with high company-level confidence, you will be expected to improve the test framework, build internal tools for developers to validate system changes, and architect high-fidelity test Oracles beyond constraint-based, model-based strategies, functional equivalence, and self-verification. You are instrumental in helping this team solve the Oracle problem and work closely with other quality agents to solve it. You are comfortable working with ambiguity within a start up and collaborate with others within your team as well as other internal/external stakeholders.
