Job description

Overview
Corporate Tools is hiring a Software Automation Engineer for $55,000/year. You will be a traditional company employee. This is a full time 40 hour M-F position with company benefits in Spokane, Washington.
As a Software Automation Engineer in Spokane, WA, you will work closely with our full-stack software team to maintain our automated form submission software. This position is responsible for overseeing the parts of our software that requires constant updates and interesting challenges. We are looking for candidates proficient in JavaScript & Node.js with a strong focus on manual and automated software testing tooling. If you enjoy creating and maintaining solutions that have a huge impact on the value of your fellow employee's lives and our customers lives, this is for you.
What's in a title?
Here at Corporate Tools we don't take titles very seriously. We know for recruiting purposes we need to call our jobs something, so we started with labeling and differentiating them in a fairly traditional way with "junior, mid, senior". However, we've realized that was putting our employees in a box and wasn't allowing us to uniquely identify their individual contributions, strengths and professional goals. Once you join our team the titles kinda get dropped as we expect everyone to work with everyone regardless of title or experience. We have taken the approach of evaluating candidates and employees on a "level" basis. It makes it a little easier internally to talk about growing into the next level without there being this huge chasm between what it means to be a Junior Engineer vs. a Mid Engineer. Our levels have expectations set for each one and it's the responsibility of the manager and employee to make sure there is alignment. We do this through quarterly conversations where we discuss employee progression, if the work is challenging, and to ensure they feel fairly compensated for their work and expertise. Basically, levels gives us more flexibility to help people grow in their careers. But sure, you can post your title on LinkedIn as what makes sense to the rest of the world.
