Senior Software Engineer, Stochastic Test and Infrastructure Xoom
Xoom is looking for an experienced Senior Engineer to join a team designing a state-of-the-art Stochastic Test Infrastructure system. The platform will provide pseudo-random generation of high-volume test sets to explore the functional space of Xoom's functional applications to ensure the highest functional quality upon release.NOTE: This is not an automation system for scripting test sets. The infrastructure models and predicts system behavior in response to dynamically-generated test scenarios generated at run-time. There are no off-the shelf tools that perform this function, so development will be cutting new ground as a departure from typical testing architectures. Work will be multi-language and cross-platform. If you are a star developer with an interest in test infrastructure design and theory, and would enjoy creating an architecture from scratch that is not commonly seen in the software community, this project is for you
The Xoom platform provides financial transaction movement and management, fraud, compliance, settlement, security, and reporting services. The system is designed to be scalable, flexible, secure, and fault tolerant. We are directly connected to a variety of the financial institutions in dozens of markets worldwide.
