Software Engineer in Test

So, you are passionate about the quality of software. You have experienced different work environments and you know that separation of dev and QA is not the brightest idea. You know that quality is a large part of productivity and makes the software team move faster. You have been in the core of development, participating in every stage of the process, you have worked on the improvement of the process together with your team.

Quality means you work to help the whole team communicate and stay aligned with the thoughts and needs of the stakeholders and customers. Quality also means testable, simple, maintainable, flexible code and getting fast feedback.

You know how to make sure that the story is testable, how to build the testing pyramid for your product, how to make the decision whether to automate something or not. You’re happy to roll up your sleeves and write automated tests. You are lazy pragmatist ­ manual testing needs justification for you. You have the courage to stop the line if the quality drops. You think scale ­ quality at scale. You make others think alike.

Great, we're looking for people like you who can help us embed quality in our process and improve it over time. People who are technical experts and get things done by using their smarts and whatever tools make sense to get the job done. People who love to stand on the shoulders of giants to solve new problems and thrive in a rapidly innovating space.
