Description
Blackthorn is looking for a quality assurance engineer who confirms not only if something is working, but why it’s working the way it is. They’re never really happy with how something is operating.
You’re part of our Engineering and Product teams to help build out our roadmap. The position requires above-average attention to details, concern for the exact correctness of work, and a strong commitment to tasks completed on time. You will take work seriously, has a strong sense of duty, and are disciplined. A somewhat faster-than-average pace will be the norm for this position. Detailed, specialized work is the major focus.
The position will provide security in a stable work environment, allowing you to plan for, focus on and complete tasks on hand. When changes in the nature of the work occur, you will receive direction, training and support. The position will generally be task-oriented, requiring you to have a conservative, careful, and cautious approach to work.
Role Brief
Why is our work important
Our apps provide our customers what they’re looking for with Events and Payments without being hard to set up. Most apps in our space take weeks to implement. Our apps take hours and they work more flexibly, achieving significantly more functionality than our competitors.
Trajectory
IC (individual Contributor) or Management. We’re a 17 person team growing quickly. We’re at the precipice of the classic SaaS hockey stick growth chart and are now starting to scale, so those who produce will be able to define their own path. We deliver a bigger scope of your responsibilities then larger companies and your impact will be directly quantifiable to the success of the company and our customers.
Onboarding Process
You’ll work with our internal teams to learn our stack and vision over the course of many months, but you will be expected to begin contributing within a few days.
Relation of work to other departments
You’ll be assigned to one app to start, working on your own or with a teammate (this varies based upon current priorities). Over time, you’ll work on our other apps. Start with one, become an expert, swap to another! You’ll work with everyone on the team in solutioning new features, testing with our success team, and will occasionally join customer calls for trickier testing and feature delivery.
What the job will bring you
We always try to use the latest features that Salesforce deploys (i.e. the metadata API, Lightning Flow components, etc.), write APIs to compound more advanced features, optimize how our processes operate across multiple packaged namespaces, and the opportunity to work with peers who each have massive Salesforce experience. This will give you the chance to continuously learn, be challenged, and deliver functionality to customers who crave it. Generally speaking, we deliver what’s most popularly requested to fill needs not filled by other apps in the marketplace, in a way that we think will provide the best UX.
