Lead Software Engineer in Test (SET)

As the Lead Software Engineer in Test (SET) at Shakepay, you will be pivotal in enabling our Development Teams to deliver high-quality software to our customers efficiently and effectively. Your focus will be on ensuring robust quality practices and test automation across the organisation, from defining and implementing testing tools and frameworks to establishing comprehensive quality standards, all while understanding our business needs and how our systems work.

You will
  • Technical Strategy: Define the vision and strategy for testing and developer enablement within the team.
  • Advocate for Quality: Champion best practices in code quality, testing, and maintainability and drive their adoption across the engineering organisation. Define and implement quality standards, templates in GitHub pull requests, and ensure comprehensive definitions of done in Linear tickets.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with product, design, and other engineering teams to ensure that our tools and frameworks meet the evolving needs of our Engineers.
  • Tool & Framework Development: Architect, design, and implement automated testing frameworks and tools from scratch.
  • Mentorship: Guide, coach, and mentor team members and foster an innovative and collaborative environment.
  • Continuous Improvement: Evaluate emerging technologies and industry trends. Regularly refine our approach to stay ahead of the curve.
  • Hands-on Testing: Be prepared to roll up your sleeves and dive into the code, demonstrating best practices firsthand.

Must have

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, related field, or equivalent industry experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in software development and testing, with a strong focus on integrating test automation frameworks and tools like Playwright or Cypress.
  • Demonstrated experience using languages like Python, Java, or TypeScript.
  • Extensive experience working with CI/CD pipelines, cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure), and containerisation technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Deep understanding of software testing methodologies, tools, and processes.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with GitHub for version control and leveraging GitHub Actions for CI/CD.
  • Familiarity with Maestro for test automation and mobile testing.
  • Previous experience in a startup or fast-paced environment.
  • Knowledge of effective test case design and development.
  • Enthusiasm for financial technology and innovation.
Why join?
  • Be part of a groundbreaking journey: you'll live on the frontier of financial innovation. Bitcoin is rewriting the rules, and Shakepay is at the forefront.
  • Impact and scale: with only 2% of Canadians on Shakepay, the potential for growth is massive. You can help us bring Shakepay and bitcoin to all Canadians.
  • Rewarding benefits: we offer competitive compensation (every shaker owns stock options), benefits (health, dental, paramedical, disability, etc), and generous vacation time.
  • Embrace continuous learning: ambitious individuals with an insatiable thirst for knowledge will feel at home. Working at Shakepay means you'll be working in an environment that encourages constant growth and development.
  • Get paid in bitcoin: choose to take a percentage of your salary in the hardest, soundest money the world has ever known.
  • Work remote: work from anywhere in Canada. If you're in Montreal or Toronto, you can also work from our offices.

We understand that potential can be just as valuable as experience. If you're eager to learn, grow, and contribute to the mission but worry that you may not have the 'right' experience, we still want you to apply. We encourage applications from everyone, regardless of background and life experience. We’re firm believers that a little bit of slope makes up for a lot of y-intercept.

Fluency in English is required due to the percentage of English-speaking customers and the nature of our platform, which is available to all Canadians.

Please note that while all of our roles are remote, we are a Canadian company and will not be sponsoring visas for this position. You must be eligible to work in Canada to be selected. #J-18808-Ljbffr
