The Role
As our Test Engineer, you'll own quality at Murmuration. Reporting to the Chief Technology Officer, you'll set up our test automation and quality practices and make sure the platform that credit unions trust with their members' money holds up on every release.
About Murmuration
Murmuration is a new technology company building the core platform that credit unions run on. We provide the software, payments, and data infrastructure that lets a credit union offer its members modern digital banking without having to build or run the technology itself.
Credit unions are member-owned and rooted in their communities, but many still operate on systems that are decades old, which limits what they can offer their members. We're building the alternative.
We're a new company, putting our platform and our first engineering team in place now, with the backing of an established group. For people who join early, that means a real say in the product, the architecture, and how the company works.
