In a world that is increasingly digital, we believe there is a vital need to help people step away from their screens and engage with the real world. At Headout, our mission is to provide the fastest and most delightful way for people to discover and book exceptional experiences, from immersive tours and museums to live events.

As a profitable company that has raised over $60 million from top-tier investors, we are building a durable, long-term business. We are currently at an exciting stage where we have achieved significant scale, yet we remain small enough for every team member to make a lasting, outsized impact.

The role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer in Test to join our team on a full-time basis. This is a hybrid role that requires a blend of manual and automated testing expertise. We need someone who is passionate about solving complex, people-centered problems at the intersection of technology and human behavior.

• Mentor junior team members, facilitate knowledge-sharing sessions, and lead a passionate team to ensure we maintain high standards of quality across all our features.

Skills and experience

We are looking for candidates who bring 3 to 6 years of experience in website, mobile, and backend testing. You should have a strong foundation in computer science and a desire to build scalable, modular code.

• Programming and Automation: Proficiency in Java or Python, along with hands-on experience using Selenium, Rest Assured, TestNG, JUnit, and Cucumber.
• Technical Proficiency: Experience with SQL and MongoDB for database querying, as well as a working knowledge of Unix commands.
