Associate Software Test Engineer
About The Position
We’re looking for an Associate Software Test Engineer who’s eager to grow, hungry to learn, and excited to be part of a collaborative, agile team.

We’re after someone with a curious mind, an eye for detail, and an uncanny knack for breaking things in just the right way. This is a remote role focused on the Victoria, BC region—where we have a handful of awesome teammates you might collaborate with from time to time. Most of our engineers are based in Seattle, with a few others spread across North America. You’ll feel connected, supported, and part of something bigger.
