About The Position
As a Software Developer in Test, you will be a foundational team member with the opportunity to own quality across every surface our customers touch and shape the testing culture of CivilGrid. Utilities, engineers, and municipalities rely on our web and mobile apps to plan and design with safe site data. Joining at this stage, you will build the test foundation that helps us scale quickly, and benefit from tremendous upside as we grow. This role reports to the Senior SDET.

- Proven ability to write clear test cases, and bug reports engineers can act on immediately
- Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript for writing and maintaining test code
- Start Up Ready: autonomous, moves fast, takes initiative without being asked
- Strong communication and collaboration skills as you work naturally with product, design, and engineering and advocate for the user

- Exercise core workflows end to end: the collaborative project map, CAD/GIS exports, geotagged photos and field forms
- Design, build, and maintain automated regression and end-to-end test suites, and integrate them into CI so the team ships with confidence
- Write clear, repeatable test cases from product requirements and designs, and perform exploratory and structured manual testing to cover edge cases
- Write detailed, reproducible bug reports and partner with engineers to drive them to resolution
- Partner closely with product, design, and engineering to build quality in early and continuously raise the bar for reliability
