Location: San Francisco, CA 94105 Status: Full Time, Employee Job Category: IT/Software Development Description: Salesforce.com has rapidly evolved from a startup founded by four people in a cramped San Francisco apartment in 1999 to a company with more than 2,300 employees, a $700 Million Annual Revenue Run Rate and over 900,000 users worldwide. As a pioneer in on-demand business services, we are transforming the software industry, championing what we call the “democratization” of software—offering small companies the benefits of sophisticated business applications, a luxury previously affordable only for large enterprises. Our customers range in size from tiny companies to global multinational corporations and represent diverse industries. Top talent across the world joins salesforce.com for its “change the world” mentality; the opportunity to excel in a performance-driven, fast-paced, and competitive atmosphere; the chance to be surrounded by peers and leaders that inspire, motivate, and innovate and a corporate philosophy that incorporates community involvement into its fabric. Sr. QA engineers will be working with other experienced QA engineers to design, create, document, implement and maintain test scripts for complex on-demand functionality. You should be self directed, team oriented, and actually know and care what the customer wants from our service. This position requires healthy doses of initiative and flexibility in a very dynamic environment. You should like to break things, be exhilarated when you discover that really complicated bug, and be detail-oriented enough that you've actually had people comment on it. You also have to be comfortable with initial manual testing of new features, so you have the understanding to correctly architect and implement the automation afterwards. You've got to have strong background in Object-Oriented programming concepts and constructs. You will need to identify missing test cases and refine existing scripts for modularity and automation purposes, estimate and prioritize work for optimal risk mitigation and identify suitable regression suites.
