Software Developer 3

• We hire Java developers to write code to test code. Our goal is to have engineers writing robust, reliable, repeatable and maintainable tests that find issues early and cover the area of the component under testing.
• Our quality engineers are in the product source code as much as they are working with test source code and are building the framework used for testing.
• Growth in this role means growing as an engineer: strong designs that are built to last, deep component knowledge and broad scenario experience will be measures of success as a candidate grows in this role. Java holds highest standards against regression in the platform. As a member of the software engineering division, you will work on identifying any regressions in the platform using out of the box thinking.
• Regression and unit testing, test development, bug escape analysis and code coverage are critical to the success of Java platform.
