Every application we receive is personally reviewed by a member of our Talent Acquisition team - yes, a real person looks at your resume! While we use AI tools internally to streamline tasks like meeting notes, summaries, and administrative work, these tools never rank resumes, make hiring decisions, or influence candidate evaluations.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Software Test Developers at D2L are passionate about building quality, secure, high performing software. They tackle tough technical and non-technical testing challenges. You will contribute to technology that will transform teaching and learning for millions of people. Improving education for millions of people provides a rare opportunity to make a real and significant difference in the world!

LOVE HOW YOU DO IT

You will work on an Agile development team which includes Developers, Testers, Designers, a Technical Product Manager, and a Development Manager

Teams can tackle any problem in any area, ensuring exposure to a variety of problems and technologies

All members of the team contribute to the definition, requirements, development, and testing of the problems we are solving

Our testers are flexible, and can adapt how they spend their time according to the needs of their team and projects

HOW WILL I MAKE AN IMPACT?

Take charge of your team’s overall quality strategy; help the team to adapt and optimize for quality up front, rather than providing a safety net to catch failures

Leverage your strengths to help your team improve quality in various ways: perhaps you’ll contribute to product code, participate in code reviews, design and write automated tests, plan and execute exploratory testing, implement reliability engineering strategies, or take on any other activities that will help your team increase confidence in what they’re building

Coach other members of your team about how to approach quality-related activities, and foster a mature quality culture within the team

Be a compelling communicator of quality concerns

WHAT IS D2L LOOKING FOR FROM ME?

Your experience is important, but most of all we are looking for people who are quick to learn, passionate about what they do, and are eager to collaborate with others to create innovative products that will delight and inspire our users. In general we are looking for:

You thrive at finding defects and design issues in software during all phases of the software development process

You have a high bar for quality, software performance, and security

You create and nurture feedback loops to provide information for continuous improvement of testing

You have coding (Swift, Objective-C, C#, Java) and/or scripting skills (JavaScript, Python, Perl, PowerShell) to enable you to read production code and contribute to test automation

You identify risks and gaps in analysis and test coverage through sound critical thinking
