Quality Engineer

At Harvest, you’ll be working with a team of honest and respectful engineers who value giving and receiving feedback and trust that they can count on each other.

Harvest Engineering consists of Product Engineering and Platform Engineering. Within Product Engineering there are currently four teams: Billing and Payments (“BillPay”), Ecosystem, Experiences and Quality Engineering (QE).

Our QE team consists of individuals dedicated to Harvest’s mission of quality, with the goal of helping our Engineering team ship solid and bug-free features and updates to customers. From de-risking a project scope, defining and executing test plans, and helping triage and investigate issues, our team is involved throughout the development process. We also constantly aim to iterate and refine our tools, skills and methodologies, in order to maximize our efficiency and impact.

Our Engineering team is growing and we’re currently looking for a Quality Engineer to join us here at Harvest.
