Description

Posit is seeking a QA engineer with strong automation and environment provisioning skills to join our Platform Team. The team works across all Posit products, developing shared components, building integrations with providers, and enabling customers to use the products better. This is a high-leverage team that can impact many people and customers.

You’ll be part of a small team working on cloud deployments to AWS, Azure, and GCP. This team also focuses on integration of Posit Team products with different partners, such as Databricks and Snowflake.

This role offers a great opportunity to drive the quality of our software through careful testing and thoughtful analysis. If you are an optimizer who is passionate about improving existing systems, learning new technology, and working with amazing people, this job could be for you.

What you’ll own:

  • Define manual and automated test strategies and Definition of Done for projects. The team you will work with handles many distinct projects and needs a champion of quality for each one. You will determine what needs to be tested and automated, define regression and validation requirements, solicit feedback from stakeholders, and document the test processes for the rest of the team.
  • Participate in the entire lifecycle of the projects from grooming through support. The Platform team works together to ensure we deliver and maintain high-quality software.
  • Create, maintain, and enhance automated test infrastructure, making automated tests easier to author, faster to run, more resilient, and broader in coverage. Depending on the project, these automated tests could be end-to-end, API, or load and performance. It is critical for the team to have automated tests and an automation-first strategy, and we would love to hear from you how best to accomplish that.
  • Develop infrastructure as code to deploy reproducible test environments in AWS, Kubernetes, docker, etc.
  • Domain expertise, over time. QA engineers work heavily with other teams and often act as a connective “glue” between teams. To be effective, you will need to learn from these other teams. This will include learning about the Posit products and what is most needed for the projects we support.
  • User advocacy for new features and enhancements to products and projects

What you’ll help with:

  • Collaborate with the developers and other stakeholders to make sure we are building the right things, and building things right
  • Collaborate with other QA Engineers to coordinate test coverage, assess risk holistically, and mentor others in areas where you have expertise (as they will for you)
  • Build for the future of automated tests and infrastructure

What you’ll teach:

  • Test automation best practices, helping to create repeatable and maintainable automation patterns for others to follow easily
  • A quality mindset across the team. Everyone on the team owns quality, but QA should help set the tone of user advocacy
  • Industry trends and new technologies related to testing and automation

What you’ll learn:

  • An appreciation for data science workflows
  • A deeper understanding of cloud infrastructure and DevOps for build / test / deployment
  • New skills related to data science patterns and best practices
  • How our Posit products integrate with our partner products and cloud environments.

You have QA skills:

  • Experience provisioning Linux test servers and containers; familiarity with Linux tools and environments
  • Experience with at least one of the major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP) 
  • Experience with Databricks or Snowflake is a plus.
  • Experience with, or willingness to learn and write, infrastructure as code (Pulumi, Terraform, Cloudformation, or similar) 
  • Experience writing automated tests, in any language.
  • Experience creating high-level test strategies for multiple products
  • Curiosity and a willingness to learn new technologies
  • A humble, collaborative approach to producing high-quality software

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
