Up and coming enterprise software startup is currently hiring a junior (2-5 years experience) QA Engineer who has worked with a database intensive product. The client is a well regarded content server startup funded by Sequoia Capital and Lehman Brothers. The QA Engineer should have more than just GUI testing experience. Ideally, they should have some scripting experience and ideally some database testing experience. But, more importantly, they should have a strong foundation in QA methodology and has experience/skills to write their own test plans. I will pay a $750 referral fee if I am able to place any candidates you refer.

Thanks for considering.

Best,
