Your mission at LV

To further cultivate our test-centric engineering culture at LearnVest, we are looking for a software engineer with extensive Java experience for the role of Software Development Engineer in Test. You will work under the direction of a Lead SDET in building tools to expedite and facilitate testing. In addition, you will be playing the role of a “testing consultant” in which you will get to perform some hands-on feature development within various engineering groups and contribute to efforts to develop a grassroots movement for sharing best practices around writing tests as well as testable code throughout the company.

Your projects will center around the implementation of a proprietary financial planning algorithm and its platform (backend + frontend elements).

Your general milestones for the first year are the following:

  • Within the first month - fully understand the end-to-end infrastructure and implementation of our planning platform from a holistic level. You will understand how we leverage Docker, AWS, and Kubernetes through the development and deployment process. You will have already completed some minor backlog items for a tool we are developing to facilitate the testing of our financial planning algorithm. You will also have met all key stakeholders and start to attend stand-ups.
  • Within three months – Scale the financial planning testing tool across AWS to handle concurrent processing/testing of multiple large sets of input data that will eventually be leveraged as part of our continuous integration process. You will start to handle minor bug fixes as well as feature work as part of being integrated into a functioning dev team.
  • Within six months – Full integration into a particular engineering group in which you are capable of developing features and demo your method of writing testable code with associated tests. Will begin to mentor, guide and assign work to junior SDETs to assist you in your endeavours. Contribute to hiring and onboarding efforts of new hires.

Competencies

  • Proven results of delivering and process / code improvement while working with a dev team.
  • Proven experience of mentoring team members (whether other developers or SDETs).
  • Ability to take initiative and work with minimal supervision. We value autonomy here and want you to be the type that thrives in that environment.

Education / Professional Experience

  • Bachelor's degree or Associate's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
  • 5+ years professional development experience in Java.
  • 2+ years professional experience within a quality assurance focused organization.
  • Experience with REST / SOAP services and clients.
  • Working knowledge of front end components and frameworks such as React and Node.
  • Working knowledge of the Spring Framework and JUnit
  • Working knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS preferred.
  • Experience writing and debugging multithreaded Java applications.
  • Experience with Github for source code management.
