Job Description

You will be an integral part of the agile development team, and will be assigned a variety of tasks pertaining to design, build and test of software applications and services. Your main focus will be on Test Automation tasks, however, other tasks will be assigned depending on need such as code design tasks, software coding tasks, bug fixes, or manual testing of new functionality. You will always be working on ways to facilitate better quality through the design, implementation, and execution of automated build and test systems. This role is for an individual whose experience with software development forms a strong basis for designing automated test solutions that will ensure that we deliver high quality services. You will have a passion, not only for understanding how the solutions work from a functional standpoint, but also for digging into the code to really understand what has been built to verify that the solution meets quality standards as well as functional requirements. Your strong technical leadership, problem-solving abilities, coding, testing and debugging skills is just a start. You must be willing to go beyond the routine and prepared to do a little bit of everything. You will be an integral part of the development team, sometimes investigating new technologies/tools and at times refactoring existing tools/processes for performance and maintainability, but always working on ways to make us more efficient and provide better solutions to our end customers and application teams.
