Description

WHO ARE WE?

There are over 30M small businesses in the United States, but only a tiny fraction of them have a workplace savings program in place. As the savings gap in the country widens, it’s imperative that every worker has access to and participates in their company’s savings program, such as a 401(k) or 403(b). We believe that American workers should have easy access to an inexpensive, flexible, and intuitive solution to save for a brighter future.

Unfortunately, prior to Vestwell, small businesses have been neglected and underserved, with expensive, inflexible, poorly designed offerings built on old, mainframe software. Vestwell is changing that, starting with rebuilding the core infrastructure for the modern era. 

Vestwell’s north star is to be the engine behind a $30T industry, powering all payroll-deducted workplace savings programs for small-to-midsize businesses, such as 401(k), 403(b), IRA, emergency savings accounts (ESA), health savings accounts (HSA), 529 college savings, and alike. 

Vestwell’s focus is to build the most flexible, powerful workplace savings and investment platform, delivered through the hands and minds of their financial services partners with the help of payroll provider partners. The team at Vestwell makes the hard stuff look easy, by combining the expertise of financial advice with the sophistication of a technology provider.

As a result, workplace providers are able to bestow the advice and solution employers and employees have been asking for, while growing and scaling along the way. Employers get a cost-effective solution designed for their needs without all the headaches, and employees get a user-friendly portal that helps them achieve their long-term saving goals.

WHY VESTWELL?

With backing from leading FinTech investors, as well as a growing team of dedicated professionals of strong industry pedigree, Vestwell is at the forefront of a much-needed change in a 40-year old industry. Our team believes in the mission we’ve set out to achieve and we are working hard to get there. We’re ambitious, honest, thoughtful, and fun.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR? 

Vestwell is looking to hire a talented Software Development Engineer in Test to join our growing tech team. You are first and foremost a problem solver who focuses on improving the quality of software that we deliver. Coding plays a crucial role in your problem-solving toolbox, whether that be writing automated test cases for specific features, or enhancing and expanding our regression testing frameworks. 

As part of our agile software development team, you will be working closely with our Director of Test Engineering and our Product Managers team to define acceptance criteria and implement new test scenarios. There is plenty of room for growth as you enhance a modern codebase and help with additional QA-centric DevOps responsibilities. Our QA infrastructure is built on Docker and Jenkins so familiarity with these technologies will go a long way. 

REQUIREMENTS

The Necessities

  • Experience writing automated tests from acceptance criteria
  • Knowledge and experience working with Selenium
  • Experience with testing UIs, APIs, and Databases
  • Coding experience in languages such as Python, Javascript, Java, or Groovy
  • Experience with ticketing and continuous integration, ideally JIRA and Jenkins
  • Enthusiastic about using test automation to drive product quality
  • Must be a problem solver who loves learning new things
  • 2+ years of software testing experience in an automated environment

The Extras

  • Experience with SQL databases and RESTful APIs
  • Understanding of build automation, application deployment, and continuous integration (e.g Jenkins and Docker)
  • Exposure to large-scale testing frameworks like Nose, Pytest, Junit, and Jasmine

The expected salary range for this position is $80K - $100K with a bonus variable. Please note that salary bands are based on NY and other similar metro areas and may differ based on where the role is ultimately hired.

OUR BENEFITS

We’re a growth stage startup with lots of exciting milestones ahead. We value health and wellness at Vestwell and in addition to a dedicated Employee Wellbeing Committee, we offer competitive health coverage and an open vacation policy. We have adopted a remote-hybrid office policy, but all employees are welcome at our bright, comfortable office with many workspace options in midtown Manhattan so everyone has a setting that is the most productive for them. We provide our team with all the equipment they need (plus a few perks!) to work effectively remotely. Oh, and naturally we have a great 401(k) plan!

OUR PROCESS

It starts the same for every candidate: getting to know the team members through 1 - 2 conversations about Vestwell, your experience, and your interests. Next steps can vary by role, but the usual next steps are a skill or experience screen (e.g. a coding interview for an Engineer, a portfolio review for a Designer, deeper experience call for other roles) which leads to a virtual or in-person interview panel after that if the screens go well. Before making an offer, our interview process concludes with a references check stage for your recruiter to meet with a current or former supervisor and peer. We prioritize transparency and lack of surprise throughout the process.
