Job Description

Responsibilities

• Design, build, test, and maintain shared automation frameworks, internal services, and developer tools.
• Own test strategy and execution for backend APIs, microservices, and end-to-end business workflows across component, contract, integration, and system levels.
• Develop code-based automation with reusable setup and cleanup, data-driven scenarios, dependency isolation, failure reporting, mocking, parameterized execution, and parallel execution.
• Validate business rules, API contracts, data persistence, authorization, error handling, service compatibility, asynchronous processing, and distributed-system failure conditions.
• Establish automated checks in continuous integration and delivery pipelines to improve feedback speed and reduce flaky tests.
• Validate cloud-hosted services and deployment configurations and troubleshoot failures using logs, telemetry, and infrastructure evidence.
• Assess performance and resilience risks, design targeted tests, communicate quality risks, and collaborate with engineers on improvements.
• Review requirements and architecture, communicate technical findings, mentor engineers, and independently drive complex testing work.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• Typically 6–8 years of software testing or engineering experience, including at least 3 years focused on backend APIs and service-based architectures.
• Substantial hands-on experience developing test automation frameworks and integrating them into automated delivery pipelines.
• Strong proficiency in a general-purpose programming language and the ability to design, review, and debug maintainable test code.
• Deep understanding of API testing, microservice interactions, service contracts, and distributed application behavior.
• Practical experience testing and troubleshooting public-cloud applications involving identity and permissions, networking, compute, storage, and messaging dependencies.
• Experience with continuous integration and delivery, source control, automated quality checks, environment configuration, and database querying.
• Preferred experience includes property and casualty insurance, event-driven architectures, complex third-party integrations, performance and resilience testing, service-level security testing, and improving automation reliability, execution time, or defect detection.

Benefits

• Remote-first work from anywhere in the U.S., excluding U.S. territories, with optional local-office access in the San Francisco Bay Area or Providence, Rhode Island.
• Core collaboration hours are 9 AM–2 PM Pacific time, with occasional travel generally not required.
• Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, supplemental income plans, a Headspace subscription, monthly wellness allowance, and a 401(k) plan with company match.
