Test Automation Engineer

Do you love building software that thrills your customers? Do you obsess over the quality of your software? Do you insist on the highest standards for the software your team develops? Are you an advocate of measurable quality? Can you dive deep and still maintain the big picture of your solution’s components and the customer experience? Well if this is you, then join and energetic team of engineers building next-generation development Fuels Pricing application for PDI!

As a Test Automation Engineer (a.k.a. Software Engineer In Test) you will be part of an Agile team and involved in all aspects of our projects’ lifecycle from inception through release working closely with the team’s product owner, architects and engineers. Your mandate on the team will be to:
(a) maximize the quality, measurability and supportability of the production features being developed,
(b) maximize the testability of the software by finding and closing gaps in test coverage
(c) minimize the team’s overall internal defect escapes by shifting the balance of how we manage quality from end-of-cycle defect detection & containment (bug-finding & fix cycles) to up-front defect prevention (automation backed coverage of all our application features).
