Job Level

About the role

  • Guide framework decisions: Choose and standardize testing tools (RSpec over Minitest, Jest over Mocha) and lead architectural adoption across the platform
  • Build enablement infrastructure: Design factory patterns, data seeds, and service stubs enabling sophisticated testing in inner development loops without full integration
  • Define quality standards together: Establish coverage thresholds, test suite structures for product types, and boundary metrics giving teams clear targets
  • Optimize delivery pipelines: Integrate quality gates into CI/CD, balance performance and reliability, and analyze data to eliminate shipping bottlenecks
  • Mentor and share best practices: Collaborate with teams on avoiding flaky tests, designing testable code, and building robust automated coverage
  • Enable data-informed improvements: Analyze quality metrics (flaky tests, incidents, DORA) to identify systemic issues and facilitate process improvements

Requirements

  • Experience with Ruby on Rails applications
  • Building or evolving test automation frameworks (RSpec, Capybara, Playwright, or similar)
  • Production systems and collaborative debugging
  • Translating quality metrics into actionable improvements (DORA metrics experience a plus)
  • Mentoring or coaching teams to strengthen engineering practices
  • Nice to have: GCP, Docker, or containerized environments
  • CI/CD pipeline optimization
  • Interest in using AI to boost testing productivity
  • Ruby on Rails experience is required—most of our platform is Rails.
Benefits
  • Competitive compensation: $147k - $183k
  • Eligible for annual performance-based Incentive
  • Equity options
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • Generous paid time off including Flexible Time Off (FTO) for all employees and 100% paid parental leave for all parents

  • Optional benefits to suit your individual circumstances such as HSAs (with Caribou HSA contributions), FSAs, supplemental life and health, legal, and pet insurance
  • Up to $1,000 per year for eligible professional development expenses
