The Opportunity

We are looking for a quality assurance engineer with a passion for testing responsive web applications across a variety of browsers. This job will involve testing all parts of our platform, while also determining the appropriate balance of types of tests. It will require writing automated integration test cases and comprehensive manual test suites, all in order to support our goal of bug-free, continuous deployments. Experience in education technology and/or literacy research is a plus but isn’t necessary.

Collaboration will be an important part of this position. Find your voice and integrate yourself as part of an Agile software development process. Our team is small and we have a very high degree of autonomy in how our team works and how solutions are implemented, so your perspective will always be sought out and considered. The tech team works directly with users and district representatives, so we get to see the direct impact of our work. We also work directly with the researchers behind our product to ensure fidelity to their research.
