JCV’s Quality Engineering team is responsible for core systems that support automated and manual testing. Our team’s two goals: effective and trusted automated testing of JCV’s products that already exist, and innovative responsive test approaches to new features and functionality in progress.
As a member of the team, you will participate in the design and the development of innovative solutions to continuously more ambitious engineering challenges. You will be building frameworks, tools, and tests to cover the full depth and breadth of JCV’s client-side and server-side functionality. This includes our web clients, our iOS and Android clients, our external service integrations, the platform API, and our supporting server infrastructure.
JCV wants a super technical, hands-on, and mission-driven Quality Engineering Manager to build and lead a QE/QA team to help us build out the processes and systems to scale to the next level. As the leader of the Quality Engineering team, you will have significant leadership and impact on the evolution of JCV’s crucial core systems and architecture. You will build out this team for JCV.
