Job description

Some engineers tolerate complexity; the Test Engineer we want at Media Solutions Group hunts it down and refactors it out of existence. This NY role reads like an upgrade — $76,000 - $104,000, freelance hours, 3 years valued, and a path that does not dead-end.

Key Responsibilities

• Design Load Testing APIs other Albany, NY teams will still thank you for next year
• Ship the Project Management gloriously-unglamorous rewrite that pays down years of Media Solutions Group technical debt
• Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end
• Carry the SpecFlow platform work that makes Media Solutions Group's next NY expansion boring
• Coordinate releases with stakeholders across Albany, NY and remote teams
• Turn Media Solutions Group's Git on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
• Lead Test Automation design reviews that catch the costly mistakes before Albany, NY builds them

What You'll Bring

• Curiosity and a continuous drive to sharpen your technology craft
• Hands-on Strategic Planning experience that survives a whiteboard interview
• Demonstrated calm when an Albany, NY client changes scope mid-stream
• Working knowledge of Strategic Planning alongside transferable SpecFlow chops
• Around 3+ years of hands-on experience in a technology role
• Fluency in SpecFlow earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
• Comfort being measured against a clear mid-level bar

We started Media Solutions Group in an Albany garage because the technology status quo deserved a boldly-pragmatic reckoning. Giving and receiving direct feedback is a skill we practice openly across every level.

The package is honest: $76,000 - $104,000, a benefits plan that works, mentorship that lasts, and the flexibility to live in Albany, NY.

As of right now, Media Solutions Group is still reading every resume that lands here.
