About Test Double

Software is broken, and we're working hard to fix it. At Test Double, our mission is to improve the way the world builds software. While the goal may seem audacious, it’s what drives us. We believe that the current state of software development is not good enough and we’re looking for others to join our cause.

The Position

Our Consultants

Developers at Test Double focus on writing high quality software to solve our customer’s problems. We implement solutions that are well-tested, easily maintained, and built with empathy for users. Many of our engagements allow us to work alongside our clients as embedded members of the team. We take on a variety of projects and clients, which provides a kind of experience accelerator.

  • Actively contributing to at least one area of the company (e.g. qualification, marketing, agent support) for a portion of the year
  • Pursuing areas of professional development in the context of current projects

Requirements

  • Proficiency in one of the core technologies we frequently staff (Ruby with Rails, Javascript with React, or DevOps)
  • Ability to use prior experience to rapidly assimilate new software systems and identify root cause opportunities for improvement
  • Ready to address architectural concerns on small systems and teams
  • Experience influencing teams in decomposing work and maintaining a healthy backlog that is valuable to the business
  • Skilled at encouraging teams in the adoption of healthier agile team processes and beneficial software development practices and principles
