What's the position?

We are looking for a QA Automation Engineer to join our Quantitative Sports (QS) team, reporting to the manager of Quantitative Engineering. QS builds and owns the in-house pricing models that set the odds on sporting events across our sportsbook. We are bringing pricing that is currently supplied by a third-party provider into our own infrastructure, and you will work at the intersection of development, quality assurance and DevOps with a goal of replacing repetitive manual tests with reliable, automated testing suites for UI, functional, and API layers.

Once the transition is complete, you'll continue to contribute to the QS team to help scale our testing frameworks while designing and implementing testing plans and strategies to ensure that our software releases continue to be of the highest quality. This is a fully remote, US-based role with significant autonomy. If you're a self-starter who knows the sportsbook space and loves getting complex projects over the line, you'll feel at home here.
