What you’ll be doing:As a Lead Software Test Engineer, it’ll be your job to test not only projects, but processes. Is our CI deployment reliable and scalable? How can our build/release process be improved? What does product quality and confidence mean across projects, and how do those values play into the dev cycle? You’ll use your technical chops in wiring up automation, your collaboration and people skills to understand and improve process, and your leadership ability to establish solidarity in intentional quality. Your charge will be the health of our engineering practices, and you’ll work with project teams to implement, standardize, grow, and tune those strategies across the organization.

What you should have:

• Experience with Ruby, Perl, Python, Java, or PHP
• Strong understanding of TDD
• Experience testing complex, high risk projects
• Passionate about software quality, using open source technologies, and learning new things
• Have managed test infrastructure and strategy
• Have proven project management skills, specifically the ability estimate scope, break down problems into deliverable chunks, and pivot when requirements change.
• Experience leading testing projects
• Can balance multiple concurrent projects with varying priorities
• Love to stretch and break other people’s code
• Can communicate with non-technical team members about progress, challenges, or new ideas
• Have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
  

Nice to have:

• Have experience with TDD, Cucumber, Selenium, or Rspec
• Have mobile testing experience
• Employ a working knowledge of testing modern web standards
• Have testing experience in scalability, performance, or security
• Have code on GitHub for personal or public open-source projects (send us links!)

Software Engineering Overview:
The Software Engineering Team, one of the largest groups in the company, is responsible and accountable for meeting the demands of our current and future businesses. We help create the “Tech” in FinTech.

We are structured into small full-stack teams, each aligned to specific business lines or core services. We code in RoR, Go, Java, and Swift. We use Ember and other JS frameworks for front-end development. The teams are responsible for defining and delivering solutions through smart interactive development.

Although we are divided into unique teams, our culture of collaboration promotes and encourages engagement across every team and department within the company - no team is a silo. This enables us to align our core values and create strong, best practices.

We pride ourselves on hiring smart and driven people who bring new and innovative ideas to the table. Our philosophy is, "Life’s short. Work some place awesome."
