Society of Grownups - <a href="https://www.societyofgrownups.com/careers" > - Boston, MA (Washington Square, Brookline)
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll be a key member of our team by being an advocate for unit and integration testing as we build out brand new financial education software from the ground up.
We’re a small team of talented developers looking for someone with a history of shipping scalable production-ready code in a highly collaborative environment. Our entire team comes from different backgrounds with different levels of experience, and we’re looking for a friendly engineer who can focus on helping us become better testers and developers. In that capacity, you’ll also work closely with our QA Lead to write integration tests, while keeping a keen eye on the user experience of our platform.
As our testing infrastructure becomes more robust, you’ll shift into writing isomorphic Javascript applications in Node.js and Ember. We’re a flat team with a high level of autonomy and personal responsibility, so the code you write will almost always be the direct result of an idea that we came up with -- together. You’ll have a rare opportunity to take ownership of the software you develop, and rely on your instincts and intuition to deliver a world-class experience to our grownups.
What you’ll do:
- Ensure that we’re using the best tools for unit and integration testing
- Help each developer figure out a personal workflow for testing
- Author code using Javascript and Ruby, while occasionally pair programming
What we’re looking for:
- Significant experience with unit testing and integration testing
- Strong knowledge of Javascript, SQL, and atleast one other programming language
- Experience with, or a desire to, mentor other developers
We offer very competitive compensation, a fantastic benefits package, flexible hours + WFH, and a level of individual trust, respect, and autonomy rarely found in most engineering teams.
