For the full job posting policy, see: <http://boston.pm.org/kwiki/index.cgi?JobPostingPolicy> --- We are looking for a detail-oriented engineer to lead our Quality Assurance team. This is not your typical QA role; the chief areas of responsibility are in automated test definition and product feature clarification, focusing on correctness, completeness and usability. QA must be proactive not just in ensuring that the software works as defined, but that it is the best possible product. This role does not primarily involve writing code, but development experience is valuable for understanding classes of hazards and solutions. We're specifically looking for a QA tools engineer. This is someone who can write and maintain a complex test automation infrastructure. Think Perl coding, not WinRunner. If you are not a Perl coder - not just scripting - do not bother to respond to this. We are looking for a Perl coder. This is a "hands-on" position; the team lead will oversee the daily activities of the QA group while continuing to perform most duties of a member of the team. The Lead QA works in a small team to ensure the correctness and usability of our management interfaces, secure storage protocols, file systems, routing and synchronization algorithms and tools to control a self-managing network of servers. Automated tests are specified by QA, but implemented by development. QA also works with product management to ensure coverage and completeness of new product features. A solid understanding of testing methodologies for web-based applications, as well as excellent communication skills, are required. An understanding of storage systems, file systems, and fault tolerance is desirable. Experience in Linux, Unix and Windows is required. Knowledge of Extreme Programming methodology is desirable. Language experience in Perl, Java or C++ is required. Requirements: * Extremely rigorous attention to detail * Clear and precise communications skills * Assertive ownership of product quality * Experience creating detailed automated acceptance test plans * Experience in tools for testing web-based applications * Experience working in a small-team environment * Experience working on challenging large-scale software engineering projects * Familiarity with both Windows and Unix environments * Familiarity with software development concepts Desirable experience: * Record of delivering stable, reliable projects * Experience in usability testing * Experience with distributed systems and common faults * Experience with fault-tolerant and highly-available systems This is a permanent role. I am a recruiter - I have been working with this company for seven years and have made many placements with them. The role is in Cambridge. The company is a storage company focusing on sensitive information storage. Pay Range - 100 - 120k. NOTE: I also have standing orders to recruit ANY strong OOPerl developers for their development team - these guys hire the best and are always willing to talk with strong Perl developers. Anyone interested should send me their resume as a Word attachment. Feel free to call me for further information. Douglas Douglas W.
