Lead QA Engineer – Downtown Austin

Lead QA Engineer We need a senior person with success in complex and fast paced software environments. We need someone who will act independently and can also get change within the team underway that makes everyone better.

The person needs to have the ability to breakdown complex systems and understand how changes turn into points of risk across that system, devise a test plan to address it, and communicate the necessary trade offs made in that plan. Basically, take a QA challenge, break it down and create a “best of available options” plan and then defend/explain that plan.

In terms of technical skills, we work with Amazon hosting, Linux operating system, MySQL db’s, Jetty application servers, and Cassandra data storage. For programing languages the application uses Java and PHP and the team also executes SQL queries and queries into Cassandra.
