Working in parallel with these teams is the Scientific Computing Group who work in computer vision, data science and machine learning, taking experiments in Jupyter notebooks through to deployment in production. This makes for a challenging and rewarding engineering experience of continual learning and plenty of opportunity to explore different parts of the stack.

Our technology stack includes a Serverless microservice architecture that capitalizes on the full breadth of AWS services with code written in Python, Rust and Java, our UI uses the latest versions of Angular, Typescript and NgRx, our CI/CD pipelines leverage AWS, Jenkins, Nexus, and Bazel in addition to our in-house release-management application to build and release 100’s of software components.

As an API Automation engineer for QA, you will be part of a team that automates tests written by the manual team, as well as those requested by development directly. you will ensure that every test case has a manual counterpart either, pre-written or flagged for authoring by the manual test team and that these are paired. You will help manage the automation test suite keeping it healthy and running after each version upgrade. You will document changes and write instruction manuals for others to replicate your work. You will manage system upgrades and software licensing requirements.

We work to test software as a service (SaaS) application in amazon web services (AWS) in a micro service environment basing all QA efforts on the test pyramid model. We are always working with our engineers on their career progression aspirations, working on a case-by-case plan for career development.
