You’ll work with our growing Engineering department to evolve our testing tool sets, improve our reporting around product quality, and mentor our highly skilled engineers.You will seek out new quality methods and apply them to our applications while encouraging and engaging others to see the value and promise of these methods. In this position you would work to understand the problems that other developers face around maintaining and improving quality, help come up with solutions, present those solutions to engineering as a whole, then work closely with the developers(your customers) to implement those solutions. You then continually look at feedback and improvements that can be made to those solutions. You actively code and look at other engineers' code to figure out issues. You actively create tools and frameworks to solve problems. You question existing tools, removing the less successful, and improving those that remain.
