And we're looking for more.
This is rotational internship which will allow exposure to several different development teams within Technology.
The role
As a Software Engineer in Test, you have the opportunity to play a key role in accelerating the delivery and enhancing the quality of CME products. Your focus is engineering robust automated testing frameworks and your job is to accelerate product development by helping application teams establish a “test engineering” mindset.
The SET roles require a highly technical proficiency and use the same skills and disciplines that software developers use to build enterprise software. What sets a SET apart from traditional software development is the wide breadth and range of programming languages and technologies you are encouraged to work with and learn about, in every part of the application stack (front end, back end & platform).
CME is placing increasing focus on the importance of such test engineering capabilities. You shall expect to work in highly performing agile teams, alongside application developers & testers, delivering innovative and creative testing solutions through applying many of the rapidly evolving software test tools and methodologies.
For someone who wants to learn and grow key skills as a well-rounded engineer, this is a great opportunity to become familiar with CME’s products and platforms, along with an opportunity to play an active role in a very diverse and rapidly expanding technology base, and make an impact on application teams delivering key features to our customers.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to and build automated test frameworks for application teams to use in testing our market leading applications, using object-oriented programming and scripting skills.
- Work closely with the application teams to identify opportunities to provide innovative testing solutions, which enable teams to achieve goals of continuous delivery.
- Conduct research on diverse emerging technologies that assist teams with automation testing, primarily (but not limited to) with micro-service architectures.
While this role doesn’t initially require any deep knowledge of software testing, any person in this role would be expected to spend some time learning foundational skills for software testing in order to make a better engineer. Training and direction will be provided for this.
