What you’ll work on:
Every week millions of customers shop in the Sporting Goods, Outdoors and Toys Stores. This team will be responsible for dramatically changing that shopping experience.

The goal will be to start with a prototype for the Sporting Goods, Outdoors and Toys Stores, but rapidly scale to many retail categories world-wide. Your solutions will need to scale to multiple technologies and allow both you and the developers to rapidly create tests as we roll out to other areas.
Who we are looking for:
This is a new team and a new charter so we are looking for someone who has a strong functional skills as well as the thought leadership on software quality to translate into a successful product launch and scalable platform. A successful candidate will have an established background in testing customer-facing experiences, a strong technical ability, passion for testing, excellent project management skills, great communication skills, and be an enthusiastic collaborator.
