VTS is looking to improve engineering efficiency, enhance code quality, and increase release confidence within their Engineering organization. The goal is to mature engineering practices to deliver value to customers faster and more reliably.
Requirements
- Proven, in-depth experience building and maintaining complex applications using TypeScript and popular Javascript frameworks (e.g., React Native)
- Strong hands-on experience with test automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress or Playwright), and a knack for writing clean, reliable, and high-confidence tests
- A deep understanding of CI/CD principles and practical experience building and managing pipelines with tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, CircleCI or Jenkins
- Solid grasp of various testing methodologies, including unit, integration, end-to-end, and regression testing
- Experience with modern observability platforms like Datadog, including instrumenting code to send custom metrics and using that data to define and track Service Level Objectives (SLOs)
- The ability to analyze complex systems, identify bottlenecks, and implement effective, scalable solutions
- A data-driven approach to software development, with experience leveraging engineering metrics to identify bottlenecks and drive improvements in the development lifecycle
Responsibilities
- Directly impact the quality and stability of our products by helping us ship code more reliably and shortening the time it takes to detect and resolve issues in production
- Build and implement a comprehensive suite of automated end-to-end and regression tests to ensure a high-confidence release process
- Work closely with our QA team to bridge the gap between development and testing, ensuring quality is a shared responsibility
- Implement contract testing to ensure seamless and reliable communication between our applications and their internal service dependencies
- Define performance tests for critical user workflows, establishing clear benchmarks and Service Level Objectives (SLOs)
- Coordinate the end-to-end release process for our core product, partnering with engineering teams to ensure smooth deployments and iteratively refining our release strategy as our SDLC matures
Other
- This opportunity is located in New York, NY, and requires this hire to work from our office four days a week.
- A history of working effectively with QA teams and other engineers to build quality into the development process from the start
- Enthusiasm for exploring and applying modern, AI-driven development practices, frameworks and methodologies (e.g., BMAD-METHOD™).
- The base salary is market-driven at the time of offer and is based on tier 1 market data.
- VTS embraces diversity and equal opportunity in a serious way.
