Our capability is comprised of passionate, flexible technologists who love to practice and hone their craft. As tools evolve and technologies emerge, we work to stay in front of innovation in automated software development and delivery.

We work in cross-functional teams to build full-stack solutions across a range of established and emerging technologies and techniques, including:

• Front end applications targeting native mobile and modern web platforms. Examples include React, Angular and Vue.

• APIs and back-end services built using emerging frameworks and architectural patterns. Examples include Node, Typescript, Java and .Net.

• Hosting and application services provided by industry leading cloud providers. Examples include AWS, Azure and GCP.

• Data Engineering applications for real-time data solutions, data platforms, visualization, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

• Operational efficiencies leveraging modern ecosystems and automated build and deployment pipelines.

• Collaborative build practices that allow our teams to be agile and responsive to our clients' needs.

What You'll Do

As an Engineer, you will apply your growing knowledge of software quality techniques and tools to a collaborative, team-based environment. You will work alongside team members to understand technical details of our projects, helping to design an optimal testing approach. You will act as an enthusiast for solution quality, providing valuable insights to the team. You will continually learn from others, and share your growing knowledge in return.

Specifically, you will:

• Develop test plans for application features

• Collaborate on identifying tests that optimize for coverage and risk

• Leverage defined patterns to create repeatable, debug-able test scripts

• Create clear, reproducible defects

• Manage assigned tasks within a sprint and track progress toward the definition of done

• Assist in accounting for test efforts during user story estimation

• Share what you learn with your teams and the other members of the QE community

What You'll Bring

As an Engineer in the Quality Engineering capability, you bring curiosity and awareness of what working in an Agile team-based environment may be like. You have exposure to code used to build reliable, trusted test automation. You help define clear acceptance criteria, participate in defect triage, and represent quality metrics. You possess an inquisitive, exploratory mindset, combined with strong testing, communication, and organizational skills.

You may have executed tests in a particular area of modern software quality, or you may have exposure to a breadth of automation solutions across technologies. Your learning mindset enables you to take on new challenges to expand and deepen your skills cross a wide variety of technology stacks.

A computer science-based mindset is needed; a technology-based education is helpful.
