Test Engineer IV (SDET) at Mighty Acorn Digital

While in many circumstances making testing someone’s job goes against DevOps principles, we specialize in End-to-End testing of complex government benefit programs. These programs typically span more than one application and more than one team, meaning that our engineers are sometimes the only technical people with a full view of the entire system. Writing testing code for such an environment can be complex and rewarding for those who are interested in automation, bolthires/CD, and performance. Our testing engineers are Javascript/Typescript engineers who use and extend existing testing tools, such as Playwright, Cypress, K6, and Artillery. They generally have a wide breadth of engineering knowledge, are excellent at learning new systems and processes, and are passionate about building fast, reliable feedback loops and making machines do the work. Test engineers are responsible for:

• Participating in scrum team ceremonies (standup, planning, retro).
• Writing mock data generation routines.
• Writing E2E tests using browser automation tools.
• Writing and executing load tests using load testing tools.
• Writing and debugging bolthires/CD jobs for automated testing, deployment, etc.
• Working with other engineers to debug systems that they did not build (due to failing tests).
• Modifying E2E and load test code as the applications they are testing evolve. Test engineers hired at senior levels will also be responsible for:
• Working directly with clients to gather upcoming requirements or present architectural plans.
• Working with product managers to gather upcoming requirements and help build and organize the backlog.
• Architecting test infrastructure for brand new systems.
