The Role

Collaboration and continual learning are core values for our engineering team. We celebrate wins together and we support each other to solve tough problems. Our modern tech stack is flexible so engineers’ good ideas can be realized.

We use RDS, DynamoDB and Redshift for our primary storage needs. We are using new technologies in our QA automation framework and the main programing language in our QA team is Python. QA and testing is increasingly automated and incorporated with CICD
