These are real-time applications with high frequency, low latency updates, on the most secure, dockerized infrastructure running in the cloud.

Our team focuses on accelerating the development of high quality products by enabling validation of product behaviors at scale through automated test infrastructure. We are entirely engineering driven, identifying opportunities to build innovative tools and infrastructure to enable developers to test high-fidelity production behaviors during development to enable catching and fixing bugs as early in the development cycle as possible. We are seeking experienced and dynamic backend Software Engineers to join our Consumer Engineering Test Infrastructure team. This role is pivotal in developing robust, easy-to-use infrastructure that enable engineers to ship high quality products, and establishing a culture of proactive testing within our organization. The ideal candidate will be responsible for developing test infrastructure and driving test automation across our services.

• Build & Scale Testing Infrastructure – Architect and implement automated testing frameworks from the ground up, enabling teams to validate product behavior faster and more reliably.
• Enable Smart Automation – Define strategies to automate testing at every level—unit, integration, and end-to-end—while seamlessly integrating testing into CI/CD pipelines.
• Leverage AI/ML for Smarter Testing – Explore and implement novel AI/ML techniques to optimize test execution, detect flaky tests, and enable self-healing automation. Use intelligent anomaly detection to improve test coverage and recovery.
• Enhance Developer Productivity – Identify bottlenecks in testing workflows, introduce cutting-edge tools, and create streamlined processes that empower engineers to ship high-quality software with confidence.
• Define and Drive Product Quality Metrics – Establish measurable driver and outcome metrics that track test effectiveness, release stability, and developer efficiency. Work cross-functionally to ensure these metrics influence decision-making and improve product quality across the company.
• Drive Best Practices & Company-Wide Impact – Partner with teams across the entire tech stack to define and implement scalable testing strategies. Your work will directly influence development speed and product quality across the company.
