We are excited to find candidates who have a passion for high quality software, enjoy collaborating with other teams, and are methodical problem solvers.

Expand our existing test automation framework and test coverage.
Develop new tests and tools for our GitLab.com frontend, backend APIs and services, and low-level systems like geo replication, CI/CD, and load balancing.
Work with the product team and other development teams to understand how new features should be tested, and then engage them in contributing automated tests.
Work with engineers to define and implement mechanisms to inject testing earlier into the software development process.
Identify and drive the adoption of best practices in code health, testing, testability, and maintainability. You should know about clean code and the test pyramid, and champion these concepts.
Analyze complex software systems and collaborate with others to improve the overall design, testability and quality.
Strive for the fastest feedback possible. Test parallelization should be a top priority. You see distributed systems as a core challenge of good test automation infrastructure.
