About Us:
STEM skills are increasingly important to our future workforce, yet more than 60% of students in kindergarten through 8th grade are not proficient in math within their own grade-level. As a society, we need to bring together our best, most creative minds to tackle this critical problem and ensure all kids are successful in math and reaching their potential. This includes developing the most innovative learning technology that inspires students and empowers teachers.
At DreamBox, we’re passionate about our mission to radically transform the way the world learns. We believe all children can excel at learning, no matter where they start, where they live, or who they are. Today, our Intelligent Adaptive Learning™ platform – with its rigorous math curriculum and game-based environment – is helping 3 million kids and over 130,000 teachers improve math achievement and build a love of math at the same time. And as a rapidly growing tech company, we are just getting started. Come help us make a difference at DreamBox Learning.
About the Role:
As an SDET you will work very closely with our development team to understand the architecture of our existing product and services under development. You will review and contribute to the overall test strategy and quality of the product and services. In conjunction with dev, you will be designing and implementing tooling that will allow for efficient and comprehensive testing. The ideal candidate is someone who not only loves testing – but knows how to make it actionable; who enjoys identifying roadblocks to efficiencies and replacing them with automation; has a driving curiosity to discover what works, why, and an unrelenting desire to improve results and efficiencies.
What You'll Be Doing: 

• Work closely with developers as peers to understand the underlying architecture and code changes to create test strategies across different layers of the application
• Create and maintain validation environments and infrastructure on AWS in a Mac OS X/Linux environment
• Automate newly integrated features and develop toolsets to augment QA and Development testing
• Extend existing automation framework to work with new services and write end-to-end automation for user scenarios (service layer)
• Perform continued evaluation of test cases for inclusion in regression suites
• Communicate test status and needs accurately and effectively across teams
• Firmly and passionately advocate for our customers

About you:

• 3+ years of testing and automation experience
• Strong technical skills with experience in an object-oriented programming language (preferably Java)
• Strong understanding of SQL and ability to write complex, advanced SQL queries
• We use AWS extensively, so experience with AWS technologies (RDS, RedShift, Kinesis, Dynamo) will help you hit the ground running
• This is a highly collaborative role; must be able and willing to work closely with developers on design and review of each other’s work
• API testing experience is required
• Experience working in an Agile environment
• Experience testing applications built with a Service Oriented Architecture
• Experience with open source automation tools is a plus
