Job Description:

Scanbuy is seeking a senior software test developer for its mobile and web apps and its backend processing system. You will be the senior technical person in software testing and automated test within Scanbuy, and over time you’ll help us to create a powerful test capability. We will look to you to provide direction with regard to technology and techniques that will supercharge our automated testing and help us overcome the challenges that surround automated test of mobile handset applications. You will also be a member of a scrum team doing product development across all facets of the Scanbuy platform

Desired Skills & Experience:

Spend your time the way technical leaders are supposed to by contributing directly to ongoing product development and providing leadership to help drive our automation test technology to higher standards.

We’ll want you involved in every aspect of product development, from conception and design through release. You’ll be working on a virtual, agile team that wants to achieve zero bug software.

The Person:

We’d like you to have at least 3 years experience with software test automation and 5 years total product development experience.

Have you done load, performance, and scalability testing of web-based systems? We do that, and it’s hard. It would be nice if you could help.
