When a user tries new software, they expect it to be intuitive and run smoothly. Functionality, reliability, and user experience are key to successful software development-and that means rigorous testing. That's why we need you, an experienced test engineer who knows how to thoroughly test software and work with developers to make sure our team releases the best software possible.

As a test engineer on our team, you'll use your experience to work with software, system, and security engineers and developers to evaluate software developed for web applications, microservices, and multiple software products. You'll create a test plan with test cases based on user stories. Using automated end-to-end testing frameworks and reusable test utilities, you'll generate data and implement the test cases to observe how the software performs, then document the results and communicate defects to the development team so they can start improving the tool.

You'll automate continuous security and performance testing and monitor the health of web applications, services, and microservice-based software products. This is an opportunity to supercharge your skills by writing the code to test. You'll also broaden your experience in end-to-end automated testing frameworks and test architecture for distributed services and gain skills in new areas such as test automation, Playwright-based E2E testing, and automated reporting while sharing your testing experience with your team.

Work with us as we develop software solutions to deliver reliable, high-quality software products that meet customer and user expectations.
