Architect - Quality Engineering
Slalom_build’s Quality Engineering (QE) capability brings a modern approach to software quality, playing a critical role in high-velocity software engineering teams. We work with current and emerging tools and techniques to help build reliable, scalable software. Our expertise in software quality principles and techniques enables key principles of whole-team ownership of quality, close proximity of software development and test activities, and reliable, scalable test automation.
Our capability is comprised of passionate, flexible technologists who love to practice and hone their craft. As tools evolve and technologies emerge, we work to stay in front of innovation in automated software development and delivery. We work in cross-functional teams to build full-stack solutions across a range of established and emerging technologies and techniques.
An Architect enables themselves and others to deliver high-quality solutions. They have developed a breadth and depth of domain expertise. They evaluate multiple approaches to solve problems and act as a velocity multiplier, actively working to mentor and coach other team members.
