Test Lead



Developer/Engineer - Automated Test - Java - Open Source Scripting - Agile - SCRUM - Extreme Programming

If you are a "test-infected developer" that can honestly answer a resounding YES! To all of the following statements, then we'd very much like to speak with you because what we're doing will most likely have great interest for you:



* You fully subscribe to the Agile Manifesto and all of its principles.
* You have over two years of hands-on experience applying one or more agile methodologies on real world projects.
* You are challenged by working in a team where everyone is better than you.
* You just love to write tests of all flavors. Performance tests, concurrency tests, user interface tests, functional tests, system tests, web tests , database tests, etc. Yes, we really mean you love applying the craft of testing as much as we do!
* You enjoy the creative process of product development with a team of like-minded individuals who are passionate about developing successful, cutting-edge products.
* You know how, when, and why to use a variety of testing tools and programming languages to automate various aspects of your testing.
* You may have been accused of taking the idea of being "test infected" way too far as a developer or tester by one or more people who were, ahem, less than fully infected.
* You posses and value a strong work ethic, integrity, and honesty.
* Your default mode of working is to apply a strong attention to detail, while constantly asking for feedback to know when enough detail has been applied.
* You can back up your claims and demonstrate your skills to a team of your peers.


NOTE: We are creating an environment that is cutting edge in almost every possible way. We're geared for success, and expect all team members to contribute to our fun, challenging, and passionate company. We are looking for smart, energetic, highly motivated and self-driven people to help us build and ship the next generation of our product. As a member of our team, you will be using state of the art technologies and the latest trends in modern software development. You will work with team members to raise any issues with feature design, determine proper testing needs for ongoing releases, write and automate detailed tests for thorough coverage to ensure defects are identified as early as possible in the development cycle.


A sampling of what you will be doing:



* Collaborate with management and development teams to understand customer requirements,
* Design and technical details of feature areas
* Feature and performance test planning
* Design and implementation of frameworks and test workloads; measuring and tracking key reliability, scalability and performance metrics, diagnosing and debugging failures uncovered during testing.
* Own and build our automated test framework
* Think of all the possible ways a product could fail and build automation to support those tests in a creative manner.


What you will need for this position:



* Agile / Software Product Development Life-cycle engineering experience
* A thorough understanding and appreciation of Agile Methodologies
* Test infected Developer / Engineer (Not QA Tester) with at least 5-years experience writing automated test plans and procedures
* Hands on experience applying one or more Agile methodologies on real world projects (web sites and back-end applications)
* Bachelors degree in computer science, Masters preferred
* Solid background in Java and other open source technology
* Master scripting skills
