We are excited to be launching in Mexico and will have enhanced job postings with English and Spanish in early 2025.

Senior Engineer - Quality Engineering

Who You’ll Work With

At Slalom Build we co-create modern technology and software products with clients who are ready to accelerate their digital transformation. We choose to imagine things made better, and then set out on a journey to realize what’s possible. By blending design, product engineering, analytics, and automation, we build the custom-built software and data products of tomorrow.

Slalom Build’s Quality Engineering capability brings a modern approach to software quality, playing a critical role in high-velocity software engineering teams. We work with current and emerging tools and techniques to help build reliable, scalable software. Our expertise in software quality principles and techniques enables key principles of whole-team ownership of quality, close proximity of software development and test activities, and reliable, scalable test automation.

Our capability is comprised of passionate, flexible technologists who love to practice and hone their craft. As tools evolve and technologies emerge, we work to stay in front of innovation in automated software development and delivery.

We work in cross-functional teams to build full-stack solutions across a range of established and emerging technologies and techniques, including:

• Front end applications targeting native mobile and modern web platforms. Examples include React, Native iOS/Android, and Vue.
• APIs and back-end services built using emerging frameworks and architectural patterns. Examples include microservices, Node, Typescript, Java and .Net.
• Hosting and application services provided by industry leading cloud providers. Examples include AWS, Azure and GCP.
• Data Engineering applications for real-time data solutions, data platforms, visualization, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
• Operational efficiencies leveraging modern ecosystems and automated build and deployment pipelines.
• Collaborative build practices that allow our teams to be agile and responsive to our clients’ needs.

We are looking for candidates who are interested in working in a hybrid environment as we build the foundation and grow our team in Mexico. We offer a flexible working environment to balance the need to work independently, with days that may require in-person collaboration at our office. 

What You’ll Do

As a Senior Engineer, you will bring your expertise in software quality techniques and tools to a collaborative, team based environment. You will dive into the technical details, collaborating to design an optimal testing approach. You will work across multiple tech stacks and implement automation using a variety of tools. As a champion of quality, you will enable the team to maintain and improve velocity. Your growing experience and learning mindset enable you to take on a variety of new challenges and establish areas of expertise.
