Who we are:

Wyzant helps connect people with educators through our online marketplace and collaboration tools. We challenge ourselves to build the best products possible but work hard to retain a relaxed, casual environment. Outside of getting things done, you can expect to find people who love to learn and socialize, play games or talk shop with others in the company.

We believe in frequent releases and pushing our product forward with as few hurdles as possible. We build our engineering process around this belief, and always look for ways to improve here.

Who you are:

As an SDET, you have experience setting up and advancing automated testing technology. You are comfortable setting up test suites for new projects and integrating them into the release process. You welcome being embedded with a team of engineers, understanding and navigating the code they produce.

You’ve been praised for attention to detail and time management skills. You are decisive, can show the research that went into your choices and are comfortable driving technology forward to ensure we are using the right tools for the job. You can be productive in our group efforts, but also extremely effective on your own. You ask the right questions that move a team forward.

Most importantly, you feel passionate about pushing a product forward that helps people learn, and working with others who feel the same.
