  • Design and develop tools and infrastructure to automatically detect, quarantine, and reproduce flaky tests.

  • Create and maintain tools for analysis of distributed tracing tools for test runs.

  • Correlate test coverage data with code changes, runtime execution, and trace data for comprehensive reporting.

  • Be willing and able to showcase our team’s offerings to internal audiences

  • Consult with other teams about how to best collaborate, integrate, and/or set up solutions for their needs

  • A self-motivated and organized individual who can independently drive engineering-wide solutions.

  • A proactive communicator who engages effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • An advocate for strong build, dependency management, and testing practices, with familiarity in popular build tools, test frameworks, code coverage tools, continuous integration systems, and post-deployment verification methods (a healthy contempt for flaky tests is a plus).

  • You have shipped and maintained Java code in production.

Experience We’d Be Excited About

  • You have worked on various technology stacks and are familiar with a variety of ways that software could be designed for different optimizations.

  • You have designed and implemented build and dependency management solutions.
