Senior Software Development Engineer In Test

Senior Software Development Engineer in Test

Remote, Seattle, Washington, United States
Eigen Labs is the team behind EigenLayer, which provides crypto economic security as a service for proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain modules, such as rollups, bridges, oracles, and Dapps. In today's blockchain ecosystem, each service is typically secured by its own token. The difficulty of bootstrapping new tokens often leads to too little capital to secure their services sufficiently. With EigenLayer, blockchain services can rely on Ethereum for security instead of the value of their own token values. Stakers in the Ethereum proof-of-stake network can "re-stake" their assets with EigenLayer to secure other services and earn higher returns. Customers pay transaction fees for these strong security guarantees, making it possible for anyone to build innovative blockchain modules without large upfront capital costs.
THE ROLE
We are seeking a senior software development engineer in test (SDET) with a strong background in testing high-scale distributed systems to work on a variety of testing, automation, and performance challenges. This role will build infrastructure to scalably test distributed systems while simulating varied network conditions as well as on different hardware configurations to determine critical edge-cases, failure modes, and performance issues to help build more robust systems. You will also lead initiatives to standardize how we test and deploy software (e.g., via CI/CD) and set the quality bar for teams by recommending and producing software quality metrics to be used across the organization.
This is a full-time position that is fully remote or located with the team based in Seattle.

Work to reliably automate testing-related tasks, including educating teams you work with on how to best expand and automate their product test coverage as well as designing and implementing your own test cases and supporting infrastructure
Be comfortable digging in to distributed system code and understand failure modes and performance concerns, diagnose root causes, and make recommendations for product improvements
Stay up-to-date with emerging trends in the blockchain space, specifically with a focus on scaling blockchain infrastructure and performing systematic testing
WHAT YOU WILL BRING
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field.
5+ years of experience in test engineering or quality assurance work, with a specific focus on hands-on instrumentation and testing of distributed systems
Experience managing large, cross-team programs
Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code to support build-up and tear-down of cloud-based test environments for distributed systems
Experience building relevant test cases and corresponding test automation (e.g., in Go) with a focus on systems software
Experience with CI/CD platforms such as GitHub Actions or ArgoCD, including proposing and implementing standards for best practices across multiple teams
Experience defining and tracking software quality metrics
Hands-on experience with AWS
Excellent written, and verbal communication skills
Ability to collaborate with cross-functional and geographically remote teams, partners, and community members
You enjoy contributing in a team environment
Proficient and thoughtful with asynchronous and synchronous communication, giving and receiving feedback, and working independently and with a team
Proactively contribute to discussions about technical issues, sprint and roadmap planning, and improving team processes
You want to help the crypto ecosystem improve the everyday lives of billions
Excited to learn and develop technology in the blockchain space, even if you don't have crypto development experience yet.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.
Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp .
