About this Role

We think writing great tests and quality is the job of every engineer, but we want to ensure some engineers have extra time and space to focus on testing and be testing leaders on the team.  We are looking for a Software Engineer who will focus on helping us increase our test coverage, test out and set up new testing frameworks, and train the entire team on ways to improve our testing.  We are looking for someone who can help us add more meaningful test coverage to important areas of our app, and refactor existing services to be more testable.
