Job description

At Renaissance Technologies, JMeter isn't a buzzword on a slide, it's Tuesday, and we need a QA Engineer who feels the same way. Few technology roles let you own the whole thing end to end; this mid-level one in Olympia does, and it pays $85,000 - $117,000.

Key Responsibilities

• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong code-review culture
• Turn vague technology tickets into crisp, testable Process Improvement acceptance criteria
• Tune JMeter caching so Renaissance Technologies survives the Olympia launch spike on the same hardware
• Investigate, diagnose, and fix bugs reported by users and monitoring tools
• Translate trust-based business requirements into technical specifications and tasks
• Build Bug Tracking dashboards so Renaissance Technologies's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers
• Spot the purpose-led Bug Tracking anti-pattern in review before it spreads through Renaissance Technologies
• Design JMeter APIs other Olympia, WA teams will still thank you for next year

What You'll Bring

• Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
• 5 or more years steering technology projects end to end
• 4 years that taught you which corners can be cut

We started Renaissance Technologies in an Olympia garage because the technology status quo deserved a hands-on reckoning. Every playfully-serious idea gets a fair hearing at Renaissance Technologies, no matter the 3 of experience behind it.

We seal the offer with $85,000 - $117,000, mentorship, benefits, and flexibility, the four reasons WA talent picks Renaissance Technologies first.

Last touched this morning, the QA Engineer listing remains active and unfilled.
