Job Summary
Bread Financial is a technology company that aims to transform the way the world shops online. We build tools, technologies and APIs that allow e-commerce merchants to integrate installment loan financing and other alternative payment products anywhere in their customers’ shopping journey. Bread Financial has enormous and engaging technical challenges. We need to verify online identity, predict fraud, and approve and price credit while providing a beautiful and frictionless consumer experience, all in real time. Our Engineering team plays a critical role in allowing us to grow our business and the success of our brand partners.
As engineering is core to our business, we believe strongly in the value of continuous investment in the overall health and quality of our technology. One way we do this is via Working Groups. Working Groups are quarterly teams of engineers who set out to tackle a specific engineering initiative outside of their primary engineering team. Working Groups have included such areas as Logging Architecture, Internal Authentication, Community & Blogs, Testing Infrastructure, and Monitoring. Groups meet weekly plan and own their roadmap and implement their features. All engineers get a chance to be in one of these groups and over time potentially lead a group for that quarter.
We are looking for those who are passionate about solving complex testing problems. You will be part of the Quality Assurance team for this opening responsible for finding automated solutions to these problems and helping teams to deploy with more confidence. The Quality Assurance team is ultimately responsible for the design, implementation and maintenance of test automation systems. For this purpose, it works on the creation of software tools and test infrastructure that are used to perform feature verification and regression tests. The aim of the team is to drive quality-centric methodologies in the software development process.
