There’s a sign (jokingly) hung in our office that reads: “I don’t always test my code but when I do, I do it in production.” If reading the previous sentence made you wince in pain, then have we got the role for you. Working within our Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) engineering and operations team, you’ll live at the nexus of efficient forward progress of our platforms and fulfilling our mantra of Uptime is the Bottom Line. You’ll translate project plans into the key test conditions that must be verified prior to deployment, engineer automated test suites and frameworks, and mentor our technical teams in how to best maintain a balance of quality and efficiency.
