Job description

Our platform processes enormous volumes of data, and we need an Automation Engineer who can keep it fast and resilient. Reduce it to essentials and you have $66,000 - $98,000, a ND Automation Engineer seat, 4 years asked, and a clear climb ahead.

Key Responsibilities

• Trace an underdog-spirited technology bug across three BDD services to the one bad line
• Keep DataCore Technologies's Negotiation dependencies patched before the CVEs become incidents
• Replace the brittle Pytest hack with a Test Planning solution that survives Fargo scale
• Ship incremental improvements to DataCore Technologies's Fargo platform on a regular cadence
• Build Project Management dashboards so DataCore Technologies's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers
• Bridge Test Planning and Pytest so the two halves of DataCore Technologies's platform finally talk
• Build internal tooling that improves developer productivity and velocity
• Profile Negotiation memory use and chase down the leaks crashing Fargo nodes

What You'll Bring

• Load Testing fundamentals plus the Test Planning polish clients notice
• Hands-on command of Project Management, with Load Testing as a close second
• Demonstrated knack for making the proudly-imperfect feel manageable
• Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
• Equal parts Test Planning depth and Test Automation curiosity
• The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
• Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team

DataCore Technologies keeps technology systems running for clients who never think about them, which is the relentlessly curious Fargo, ND point. We hire for character and endlessly-iterating thinking, then trust the rest to follow.

We seal the offer with $66,000 - $98,000, mentorship, benefits, and flexibility, the four reasons ND talent picks DataCore Technologies first.

This minute, the Automation Engineer chair sits empty and the search is on.
