IAM Cloud Hiring for Software Developer in Test Job at Remote Full Time

From simple utilities and add-ons to powerful fully-featured platforms, we love creating software that solves painful problems. Our products are designed to make managing IT in the cloud simple and enjoyable. We were born in the cloud, and, to our knowledge, were the first production system in Azure in the world. Quite simply, our main goals are:

1. Create awesome technology that makes a major positive impact in the world

2. Build a company that people love to work for, and that can achieve goal 1

3. Have fun doing it!

Fully employee-owned, IAM Cloud is not like most investor-backed SaaS companies who relentlessly hack their way to growth. We go in our own direction, grow at our own pace, and put customers – not investors – at the top of our priority list. Our main aim is to create a company that works for us, rather than feeling like we’re working for it. We’re flexible and adaptive to the needs of our employees in any way we can be. We’re a compact team, but we’re pretty creative, experimental and extremely ambitious. We’re bootstrapped, but as a group of around 40 people we sell our products to over 1000 organisations all over the world. And we’re just getting started.

The role:

You’ll be playing a pivotal role in ensuring that what we release is robust & resilient. Working across the full software development and test lifecycle, highlighting risks, defining and automating acceptance tests and working with CI/CD pipelines as part of an Agile software delivery team, you will:

• Advocate a quality mindset within our software development functions, encouraging group responsibility for ensuring the quality of the code that we release
• Build end-to-end performance and acceptance testing capabilities and tooling
• Create frameworks to identify problems quickly, and robust remediation strategies to ensure they don’t reoccur
• Monitor and troubleshoot all automated test suites and the frameworks we use to run them
• Engage in scoping exercises to ensure that quality is embedded in projects even before they start
• Participate in stand-ups and development Scrum ceremonies
• Produce relevant technical reports and documentation on the performance of our platform
• Use the autonomy you’re given to proactively research and implement the best practices as the testing landscape continues to evolve
• Promote quality across the business, working cross-functionally to ensure alignment

• Experience developing and testing software using Microsoft technologies
• Demonstrate a high level of competence within coding with C#
• Test planning and process building
• Experience in testing both front- and back-end applications
• Pragmatism in identifying and highlighting risk and acting as an advocate for quality
• SDET functions, including test automation, building custom test tooling, and ensuring testability is built into our products from the outset
• History implementing reliable test automation (performance/API/system) into CI/CD
• Able to create test frameworks from scratch as required
• Code reviews and refactoring, including greybox testing as appropriate
• Good knowledge of automation test tools and technologies
• Some familiarity with tools, technologies and processes including:
• Systems analysis, exploratory and regression testing
• SQL and API testing
• Azure DevOps
• Selenium, Playwright, Percy
• Fiddler, Postman
• BDD/TDD/Cucumber
• Ability to research and explore new tools and technologies and provide objective feedback on pros and cons
• Proven experience implementing quality as a mindset within a fast-moving organisation
• You value diversity and are sensitive to different environments and cultures
• You’re the sort of person who likes to move fast, pragmatically highlighting risk and thinking about the wider impact to the business
• Strong collaboration and team working skills

But more than any specific skill, it is important that you are passionate and take great pride in what you do. You should be an avid learner, curious and hungry to explore new things.
