QA Engineer (remote)

Description

The Harvest team has been handling its own quality assurance for six years. You would be responsible for organizing all quality assurance activities and working with the rest of the team to help define requirements. You will have great influence on how quality assurance works at Harvest for years to come. The ideal candidate will have 5 years or more experience in QA organization, process implementation, and automation. If you have experience with a nimble team where things progress rapidly then you'll feel right at home at Harvest.

Harvest is a distributed team. We have a lovely big office in New York City, but team members live all over the USA, Canada and Europe. Wherever you currently live, that's where we want you to be.

Did we mention a sense of humor yet? It's important, we like to have fun while we work.
