Proactively work with development teams to identify potential production issues and help devise strategies to mitigate risk.

Your Impact:

Design, develop and promote tools and frameworks that enable developers to validate functionality of web applications, services and APIs.
Drive the adoption of efficient quality engineering processes and identify gaps in test tooling.

About You:

Bachelor’s in CS, Engineering or equivalent experience of 5+ years of quality engineering experience.
Experience with server-side concepts, e.g. microservices, database, caching, performance, monitoring and scalability.
Familiarity with modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js, Node.js.
Test automation technologies: Mocha, Cypress, Playwright, RestAssured, k6, Pact.
Familiarity with DevOps practices and tools.
Willingness to travel to the Oakland office monthly to collaborate with other Earnies.

Even Better:

API Design: Knowledge of API design principles and tools for creating robust and scalable APIs can be advantageous, particularly in architect roles.
Experience working in Fintech, Banking, or related Consumer Financial Services companies.
