Job Description

Credit Karma is a mission-driven company, focused on championing financial progress for our more than 100 million members in the U.S., Canada and U.K. While we're best known for pioneering free credit scores, our members turn to us for everything related to their financial goals, including improving their credit, identity monitoring, applying for credit cards, doing their taxes and shopping for loans (car, home and personal) -- all for free.

Credit Karma has grown significantly through the years: we've added more than 70 million members in the last five years alone and now have more than 1,200 employees across our offices in San Francisco, Charlotte, Los Angeles, Leeds, London and soon Oakland.

Credit Karma is looking for a quick-thinking, quality enthusiast who understands releasing great software is not just about reactive testing. As a Test Engineer at Credit Karma you'll be proactively assessing and mitigating risks for our Web, Native and Service platform releases, within one of our exciting product verticals. You'll be solving big quality challenges, coaching Software Engineers and Product Managers in the art of quality testing and helping to create a long term vision of quality features for our members.

You are a passionate member of the team who wants to have high impact; looking for a hands-on technical career with both manual and automated testing. This isn't just about "Quality Assurance"; we want you to help us create a better product and proactively improve our quality efforts on the whole.

What Will You Do?

* Be a strong quality advocate, collaborating closely with software engineers, designers, and product managers to release life changing products.
* Design and deliver risk based test plans for new features and functionality, choosing the right method of testing for each situation or phase (scenario, exploratory, scripted, automated, etc.).
* Help ensure your vertical's releases adhere to deadlines while not compromising on quality.
* Pair with software engineers to identify and prevent gaps with automation/regression coverage and even build frameworks.
* Be a reliable, friendly source of feedback on new functionality, features and process changes.
* Awe your team by uncovering, or better yet preventing corner case defects.

What's Great About It?

* You'll be able to use your amazing full stack (Front-end, API, backend/SQL) testing skills and experience to help us build better products.
* You'll be knee deep in a great mission; helping people improve their finances.
* You'll learn a lot; and we value continued learning and development.
* You'll have the ability to introduce new tools and frameworks to your team.
* And, of course, all those awesome company perks that you probably already read about.

What Do We Expect?

* Several years of Web/Native QA experience or experience in a similar role.
* Strong foundation in usability, security and risk based testing strategies.
* Experienced with CD/CI, Unix CLI, GIT, SQL, Ruby, JavaScript, and RESTful APIs.
* Bonus points for experience with Android/iOS development environments, Scala, Go, Thrift, or GraphQL.
* Self-directed, deeply curious and you take action on your great ideas.
* Detail oriented and have amazing communication skills.
* Willingness to challenge existing practices in order to make them even better.
* Thrive in a dynamic, fun agile environment.
