The company I work for, Onalytica, is looking to recruit a quality-assurance engineer. We’re after a developer-type that will focus on testing and assuring-quality - here, quality-of-implementation is a first-class concern rather than injected-as-afterthought-too-late. Which is a rather nice attitude right there, IMHO! :-)

Other salient points?

  • We’re a primarily .NET-shop, but use tools pragmatically. We have a build-script written in rake, for example.
  • We’re working on an internet-scale v2 product - v1 is currently live, successful, and high-volume.
  • Thou shalt buy-in to an agile process; automated testing (automated-everything, actually) underpins this. You’ll be writing software to test product; scripts, test-harnesses, etc.
  • You’ll be good at breaking things to point out, clearly, how to make them better. Personally, I’d describe that as a sadistic streak combined with tact… ;-)
