Experienced People-Friendly Hacker/QA/Test Engineer

BLDUP seeks an experienced QA Engineer to help us maintain a consistent level of quality for our data-heavy Ruby on Rails platform. BLDUP is a real-time CRE (Commercial Real Estate) system that tracks construction projects from their proposal to their completion. We are innovating in a data-heavy space and are looking for a talented engineer to help us keep accelerating the pace. We are still in startup mode and are looking to bring on someone that's excited to be constantly learning and working through a lot of quick-moving parts!

This role is similar to, but somewhat different than a SDET/QA position. We are looking for a skilled engineer capable of understanding our system and helping us dig into the issues we don't have enough time to review. In a typical day, this may include:

• Getting feedback from non-technical team members on unexpected behavior in the system, tracing it to its origin, and writing up the problem and proposed solution(s), as well as tests
• Tracking down the cause of issues in our error tracker and analytics tools and fixing them or proposing solutions and automated tests
• Helping define and improve standards for data quality and system performance
• Working directly with the CTO and engineering team to help test upcoming features and changes
• Writing tests, certainly, but identifying high-priority issues and digging into them will be the main priority
• Helping maintain an up-to-date automated test platform

Our ideal candidate has:

• Several years of experience working on QA and Test Engineering
• Experience working with Ruby on Rails and its testing frameworks, especially RSpec
• Python experience
• Excellent writing and communication skills
• Ability and desire to work through technical issues with both technical and non-technical team members

Nice to have:

• Familiarity working with data-heavy applications
• Docker experience

Job Types: Full-time, open to Part-time for the right candiates

Compensation: $90,000.00 - $150,000.00+ per year, depending on experience

Proximity to Boston, MA is a plus and would be ideal to collaborate in person as necessary, but not required.
