Software Development Engineer - Test

About You

You have a passion for building enduring products that work. Nothing gets past you. Manual testing techniques are considered a failure.  You continually seek out how to do it better. It’s in your DNA to measure and automate everything. You speak for the customer and own building their trust. You have extensive experience in building automated testing processes across large scale platforms and services. You won’t accept being a second class citizen in the development process; you are a leader. You excel when working in small, dynamic, and fast-paced teams. Your self-driven attitude helps you thrive in unstructured environments. You are accomplished at what you do, and long for the chance to work on a mix of bold innovations that will push boundaries and change the way millions of people interact with technology. You are one of us.
