Software Development Engineer in Test - Quality Engineering

Job Description

About the role

As a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) at Chime you'll work with a motivated team to define quality and the metrics by which we will track it. You'll help instill the processes and procedures we'll need to live up to that standard. You'll advise our development teams on the creation of their test plans, showing the way yourself if you need to. You'll act as a Quality Product Manager, creating and refining a backlog of test automation and product instrumentation stories to ensure the dev teams spend their time coding rather than running manual tests. You'll roll your sleeves up when necessary (or when you want to - we all got into this business because we love coding and all things technical) to do a spot of implementation yourself.

The perfect candidate will have experience with at least one full web technology stack, an eye for bugs and design flaws, and a white/grey box testing mindset. If you love coding, testing, and desire the opportunity to create an amazing testing platform this challenge might be for you.

This job cannot be performed remotely in the state of Colorado.

In this role, you can expect to

• Build a Tools Roadmap. Create a data driven roadmap to identify the most impactful tools to add coverage.
• Issue Isolation. You will identify the root causes of member escalations and provide development with reproductions and proposed automated coverage to prevent regressions.
• Manage cross product team integration coverage. This may mean implementing automation that has no clear owner or coordinating coverage efforts between multiple teams to ensure the coverage is in place.
• Maintain Test Environments. Work with TechOps to build and validate test environments.
• Serve as an escalation point for test failures in the CI pipeline.
• Provide support to developers as need to add & maintain automation on their own.
• Develop and implement a set of quality metrics that report on our coverage progress and represent the member experience.

To thrive in this role, you have

• BS in Computer Science or related technical field or equivalent practical experience
• Software development experience in one or more general purpose programming languages and fluency with the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
• 3-5 years experience in a highly technical Quality Engineering, Test Engineering, or Software Engineer in Test role
• Familiarity with performance and capacity management and monitoring tools for application, infrastructure and networks.
• Experience designing, developing, and managing automated testing
• Experience testing platform APIs and good understanding of end to end infrastructure.
• Experience building and testing web-based user interfaces
• Experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, RoR or similar is a plus.
• Experience creating UI based tools for testing
