Job opening - Software Engineer in Test at Yodle (New York, NY)

Do you see yourself as a individual who loves to understand a business and then build technology to support that vision? Do you regularly think of how you can improve existing tools and technology for testing? The Test Team at Yodle is responsible for understanding the vision of the business and then creating test systems and using them to deliver that vision. This means developing systems that behave like end users, are thorough like testers, and interface like developers. Engineers leverage a number of technologies at Yodle, which include Java, Selenium, Groovy, and the Play Framework.
 
You will be rewarded by developing your business acumen, your development and design chops, and your leadership skills.

Dedicate yourself to understanding the business and services we provide. Learning is done by getting up and speaking with your users, talking with our product managers, and doing some research of your own. Yodle employees wear out ! the treads on our shoes twice as fast as normal worker because we believe passive forms of communication (emails, voicemails) are detrimental to our success.

Deliver consistent and sound test strategy. At Yodle, we strive to find the balance between "going with your gut" and "analysis paralysis". Engineers are responsible for envisioning the work from beginning to end and then executing on the plan. Work will present challenges in the areas of web applications, backend services, mobile devices, and many other areas/fields.

Commit to working in a tightly integrated engineering team. At Yodle, QA Engineers work side by side with product developers, product managers, and UI designers.

You will be asked to think critically about your own work and about everyone else's work - regardless of their department. Quality is every! one's responsibility, but you are its champion - both in pract! ice and by example.
