Original job description

Who we are:

For over 25 years, Global Relay has set the standard in enterprise information archiving with industry-leading cloud archiving, surveillance, eDiscovery, and analytics solutions. We securely capture and preserve the communications data of the world’s most highly regulated firms, giving them greater visibility and control over their information and ensuring compliance with stringent regulations.

Though we offer competitive compensation and benefits and all the other perks one would expect from an established company, we are not your typical technology company. Global Relay is a career-building company. A place for big ideas. New challenges. Groundbreaking innovation. It’s a place where you can genuinely make an impact – and be recognized for it.

We believe great businesses thrive on diversity, inclusion, and the contributions of all employees. To that end, we recruit candidates from different backgrounds and foster a work environment that encourages employees to collaborate and learn from each other, completely free of barriers.

Your role:

As a Senior Software Developer in Test, you will be part of a small, highly focused team responsible for delivery of highly scalable and robust services within Global Relay’s platform. You will work directly in code to design testing solutions for web applications and API services of a large scale system. You will drive continual improvement in your team’s automation frameworks and coverage while mentoring other SDETs in the team on industry leading test practices. You will support the team’s testing efforts to ensure quality of coverage, quality of code and quality of delivery.

Your responsibilities:

Design, develop and maintain automation frameworks, infrastructure and tools
Define and automate test cases that verify product requirements
Participate in team planning and story grooming
Participate in test planning, execution, issue identification and resolution in support of the release
Provide suggestions to improve automation and test processes
Develop and maintain shared testing libraries
Provide training, mentorship and support to other members on the team
Conduct code reviews, improve and maintain quality of the automation code
Document the automation framework, tools and infrastructure

About you:

Minimum 8 years of experience in software testing
Minimum 5 years of experience in test development
Strong understanding of the Java language and object oriented principles
Strong understanding of testing practices in an agile environment
Experience with unit testing frameworks such as JUnit
Experience testing backend systems or APIs
Experience with any of the following is an asset:

Testing performance with JMeter or similar tools
Web services technology such as REST, JSON or Thrift
Testing web applications with Selenium WebDriver
Big data technology such as Hadoop, MongoDB, Kafka or SQL
Network principles and protocols such as HTTP, TLS and TCP
Continuous integration systems such as Jenkins or Bamboo
Continuous delivery concepts

What you can expect:

At Global Relay, there’s no ceiling to what you can achieve. It’s the land of opportunity for the energetic, the intelligent, the driven. You’ll receive the mentoring, coaching, and support you need to reach your career goals. You’ll be part of a culture that breeds creativity and rewards perseverance and hard work. And you’ll be working alongside smart, talented individuals from diverse backgrounds, with complementary knowledge and skills.

Global Relay is an equal-opportunity employer committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

We seek to ensure reasonable adjustments, accommodations, and personal time are tailored to meet the unique needs of every individual.
