If you are interested in working in this kind of innovative environment and you’re a motivated Software QA Engineer, then we have an excellent role within our London office of our3D modelling business SketchUp. 

Our SketchUp team is recruiting for a brand new Quality Assurance Engineer to support our Extensibility team.

Thousands of extensions are publicly available today.

As a Quality Engineer on the Extensibility team your core responsibilities will be maintaining and improving the quality of our C API and Ruby API offerings, but there is much more to the role than that.

You’ll manually test product features and updates, you’ll become a product expert and one of the main points of contact for colleagues across Europe.
