Job Description
This is a full-time, on-site role as a Senior Staff Software Engineer in Test on an Agile development team.

The posting values analytical thinking, troubleshooting and debugging, and comfort with agile testing practices and quality metrics.
Technical expectations include working knowledge of Windows and Linux, concurrency concepts such as threads, multiprocessing and socket programming, and networking and cloud architecture. Candidates should be fluent in Python or Go, comfortable with SQL databases and RESTful API testing, and skilled with Git or SVN.
