Software Development Engineer, Test
Seattle, WA • 09/14/2007
Engineers in our test team work on the widest range of technologies in Redfin's business and have strategic impact, using advanced techniques for assessing scalability, performance and quality. Projects include data acquisition, search, data mining, AJAX user interface and test frameworks.
As the final arbiter of what services we release to our customers, test engineers are involved with every phase of product development, from design to support, with significant exposure to the business requirements behind every new release of our website. The best test engineers are also contrarians, people who think for themselves, trust only what they can measure and always see how things could break or improve. They are wicked-fast learners, who love new challenges, and aren't put off by complexity. And, of course, they are able to put themselves in the customer's shoes.
What makes Redfin a special place to work in testing is our unique commitment to the role: many of our best engineers are focused on quality, building tools and automation for exhaustively characterizing the entire code-base; the quality team influences the design of every feature we bring to market, sets the standard for engineering best practices, and informs major product decisions.
Responsibilities:
* Review product designs to ensure a high-quality customer experience
* Develop automated acceptance and functional tests
* Analyze data to understand usage patterns and performance bottlenecks
* Own feature areas in any or all three tiers: web interface, server, database
Qualifications:
* Ability to design, understand, break, develop, and fix code (specific knowledge of Java and SQL a plus!)
* Strong analytical capabilities
* Passionate commitment to engineering quality and productivity
* A bachelor's degree in computer science or a related technical field
As seen nationally on 60 Minutes, Redfin offers an alternative to the traditional way of doing business in the Real Estate Industry. Cutting edge technology puts tools in the hands of customers, empowering them to save an average of $12,000 - $14,000 on their home sale or purchase.
