Associate Engineer - Test
As an Associate Engineer, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the quality and reliability of our software products. You will work closely with our development team to conduct thorough testing, identify issues, and propose solutions to enhance the overall performance of our applications. This position offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in manual testing, database management, debugging, and automation while working in a dynamic and collaborative environment.
What can you expect
An opportunity to go behind the screens and understand what's powering the big screens on which we watch movies. We love automation and hate repetitive manual tasks and are a small but focused team, which means you'll get a high degree of ownership.
We run a distributed remote-first team, so we need people who can manage themselves and work independently while still knowing when to ask to help. Our communication happens primarily in writing with some verbal conversations, so you'll need to be comfortable communicating that way.
