We are Ataccama, and we are on a mission to empower organizations to maximize the transformative potential of data and AI. Our product enables both technical and less technical ‘data people’ across their organizations to create high-quality, governed, safe, and reusable data products.

We are open to a hybrid working setup. #LI-hybrid

Our Current Challenge: Ataccama transitioning from an on-premise enterprise solution to a fully managed multi-cloud platform. We cater to Fortune 500 companies with stringent security and compliance requirements. There is a natural tension between forces Move forward quickly, Break nothing, Ensure high quality standards and Stay compliant. We believe there is way of delivering software often with high quality standards and make customers happy. We don’t believe one size of doing tests fits. We believe even enterprise software can be delivered safely (minimal blast radius, fast rollback) by independent teams in a modern way (mainline development with feature toggles) without fallback to siloed QA deperatments and co-located releases.

We see the role of Staff/Principal Software Developer In Test as crucial for enabling high quality standards by:

- Leading SaaS Quality Community of Practice. This includes ownership and governance of the Quality Strategy.

- Hands-on engineering contribution to Platform Test Tooling (covering integration tests, component tests, contract tests, e2e tests) for enabling functional teams and more than 100 engineers.

While this is individual contributor role you can expect close co-operation with Platform engineering teams and engineers for delivering quality gates and their integration into CI/CD pipelines.

Your role:

• Technical Leadership: Lead development of Platform Test Tooling, solve the most challenging technical problems (breadth vs depth of tests on various levels), and align our SaaS engineering organization so every single Ataccamer undestands how we achieve high quality standards.
• Mentorship: Mentor individuals and teams by sharing your extensive experience with quality in SaaS/cloud environment, best practices, and lessons learned on individual bases or via SaaS Quality Community of Practice.
• Ownership: Take end-to-end ownership of Platform Test Tooling from design to implementation and adoption of the tooling by functional teams.

About you:

• Experience: Extensive hands-on experience in providing test tooling frameworks and libraries.
• Attitude: To serve developers as your customers, making their live easier not by doing their work but rather enabling them by providing right tools for right job
• Collaboration: Enjoy collaborating across product engineering teams on software architecture, focusing on enabling feature teams to deliver high-quality software.
• Mentorship: Passionate about sharing experiences and mentoring other in the domain of Software quality in SaaS
• Hands-On: Enjoy writing clean, well-designed, documented, and testable code, emphasizing quality, consistency, and speed of delivery.
