• Software Developer in Test.
• Onsite in Foster City, CA | 5 days in office.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain automated test suites for backend APIs, background workers, and related microservices across development, staging, pre-production, and production environments.
• Support release validation for versioned service deployments, including regression sign-off before production rollouts.
• Develop and extend performance and load tests (K6 or equivalent) against REST APIs, including realistic data-driven scenarios at scale.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and release workflows.
• Validate release-critical behavior: data consistency across environments, schema migrations, API contract changes, and cross-service integration points.
• Perform exploratory and component-level testing for new features and defect fixes; triage failures and work with engineering to resolution.
• Monitor release health using dashboards, logs, and test results; identify regressions and quality trends for stakeholders.
• Partner with engineering and QA to translate release requirements into automated coverage and repeatable validation checklists.
• Document test plans, automation design, pipeline logic, and release criteria for long-term maintainability.

Required Skills:

• Strong Python / Typescript proficiency for test automation, API testing, and data validation.
• Experience with REST API test frameworks (pytest, requests, or similar) and schema/contract validation.
• Hands-on experience with performance and load testing tools (K6, Locust, or equivalent)
• Familiarity with staged software delivery: version tags, environment promotion, and production change management.
• Ability to write SQL for querying release and quality data to support metrics and triage.
• Experience with Git, code review workflows, and CI systems.
• Comfort debugging distributed services in containerized environments (logs, health checks, basic cluster tooling)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Nice to Have:

• Experience testing geospatial, mapping, or routing-related platforms.
• Background validating impact-assessment or constraint-management workflows in production systems.
• Familiarity with observability stacks (metrics, tracing, log aggregation) for release validation.
• Experience with cloud data stores and query tools (S3, Athena, or similar) for test and metrics analysis.
• Exposure to workflow orchestration for data or test pipelines (Airflow or similar)
• Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools to improve test authoring and debugging productivity.
• Prior work in QA, release management, or software quality metrics in a high-availability SaaS environment.
