You'll also collaborate with the team to expand testing and plans that already exist, and help the team to fill in where we have gaps in our coverage. Our tech stack includes a Rails backend and React frontend and our six-person development team is a mix of local and remote team members from three different countries. You would report to our Software Engineering Manager and work closely with our Technical Program Manager and our Technical Program Coordinator.
