Lead Automation QA (C#)

Currently we are looking for a Lead Automation QA to join our awesome team!

Since 1998, Exadel has been engineering its own software products and custom software for clients of all sizes. Headquartered in Walnut Creek, California, Exadel currently has 1000+ employees in development centers across America, Europe, and Asia. Our people drive Exadel’s success, and they are at the core of our values, so Exadel is a people-first cultured company.

About the Customer and Project:

The customer is building the world’s best ecosystem for teaching and learning. Millions of students and teachers use these products around the world, and the Customer is always finding ways to innovate and improve the experience.

The customer is hiring world-class software engineers in test to solve some of education’s hardest problems at cloud-scale. By focusing on values — ownership, openness, simplicity, and relationships — and using a modern stack that includes Java, JavaScript, Selenium, and unit- and performance-testing tools, the Customer’s team is changing the way that teachers teach and students learn. If that sounds interesting, we should talk.

Responsibilities:

• Implement foundational testing tools to improve the quality of the Customer’s products and the velocity of the engineering teams
• Coach and educate software engineers on best testing practice
• Provide specialized help to product teams needing performance testing or assistance with testing tools, or that have advanced testing needs
• Help the team catch bugs before the Customer’s clients do and stay within our high test coverage expectations (90+%) and low bug counts

Requirements:

• Experience with cloud-hosted, high-traffic applications
• A preference for action, desire for ownership, and love for problem-solving
• Experience in multiple programming languages (with interest in learning more)
• Demonstrated excellence in programming, debugging, architecture, and devops — the Customer’s engineers design, build, and deploy their own code
• Strong communication skills
• English level: Intermediate+

Some recent and future challenges:

• Build up Jenkins CI pipelines for enterprise systems
• Build test automation frameworks on all levels (starting with end-to-end and performance engineering)
• Relocate code repository from Bitbucket to Gerrit

Experience with these works is great but not a must; opportunity for learning on the job.

Stacks:

• CI/CD tools: Jenkins, TeamCity, Octopus, Cloud Formation
• Automation code: .NET with C#, .NET Core, NodeJS, Java
• Infra: AWS EC2, RDS, Apache, Docker, CloudWatch
• Code repo: Bitbucket, Gerrit
