Opportunity
Our Development team is growing, and we’re looking for a Junior QA Engineer who is excited to build a strong foundation in both QA and DevOps. This role blends software testing for infrastructure support, with the opportunity to gain experience across multiple teams and technologies. You’ll report into QA and work day-to-day on the DevOps team, contributing to automated testing, monitoring tools, and deployment processes that support our engineering teams. You’ll also jump in to help other development teams when extra QA support is needed.
About Method
Method understands that businesses are unique and so it is our vision to create a small business platform that is easily personalized for each of our customers. Our flagship product is Method CRM, a customer relationship management tool made specifically for small businesses who have outgrown their processes. Unlike other CRMs, the combination of Method’s deep QuickBooks sync and no-code customization engine enable businesses to achieve their optimal workflows.
At Method, doing fantastic work is just as important as looking out for each other and our community. From flex hours, full benefits and monthly team events to our MethodGives program, we do our best to support both our employees and community. You can learn more about Method and our team here!
