At Feed.fm, we believe the best candidates are eager communicators, learn quickly, are compassionate, collaborate well with others, and have a strong desire to see their work in action. We’re looking for a talented software engineer to take the lead on and improve our build, test, and release systems, in order to make sure all software and services powered by Feed Media continually meet the high standards that our customers expect of us.

You will work closely with other engineers to improve and maintain the cloud based automated build and test systems for our API, SDKs (javascript, iOS, Android, and others), and web sites (feed.fm and adaptr.com). You will lead or guide the set up of any infrastructure needed to make automated testing and deployment as simple and robust as possible. You will identify the portions of the system that still need manual review, and you will put in place checkpoints to ensure that happens.

You will work with customer success and our product development team to identify metrics most important to them, and you will track those metrics and work closely with engineering to ensure processes and tooling is in place to keep those metrics shining. Before development on new projects begins, you will work with other engineers to have automated testing and metric collection ready to go on day 1.

You are very knowledgeable of git and, in particular, Github, and know how to take advantage of that ecosystem to automate testing and track metrics. You are familiar with cloud services that can automatically run unit and integration tests for web and native mobile (iOS, Android) applications.
