Senior Software Developer

Full job description
With over 30,000 customers, including a third of Fortune 500 companies, Tempo is trusted by organizations across the globe to make their workflows work better.

We create a suite of integrated solutions for time management, resource planning, budget management, roadmapping, program management, reporting and more. We create the tech that enables the modern team to deliver – for every step from first vision to value.

Since our beginning in 2007 as a project to make a time-tracking tool to help a client – Tempo has expanded to become the #1 time management add-on for Jira, and we have developed and acquired a multitude of tools to become one of the most trusted names in the Atlassian ecosystem.

We want everyone to work better – but we also want to be a tech company with a heart. Join us as we continuously innovate our award-winning products, create new solutions, and help the world work smarter, not harder.

About the role:

As a Senior Software Developer in QA you’ll play an integral role in assuring the quality, performance and reliability of Tempo cloud-native applications. You will collaborate on an integrated, multi-service Platform with many downstream consumers, shared UI components, and cross-team dependencies. Your ability to anticipate integration risks and guide QA test coverage will be crucial. Our tech stack includes TypeScript, React, Kotlin, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, AuroraDB, and AWS (EKS, ECR, SSM, S3), and the position requires a hands-on, action-forward approach, with direct and integral contribution to quality, performance, reliability and security. You’ll be instrumental in building and applying robust, scalable QA and test practices across the Platform development lifecycle - from design, to implementation, to deployment, and beyond. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Product and Design teams to deliver a high-quality, performant and reliable Platform that delights our users and drives the Tempo vision forward.

What you’ll do:

Architect and implement comprehensive test solutions: Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable test automation and test suites, including API contract, integration, end-to-end, and performance testing.

Drive quality across the SDLC: Embed automated testing and QA practices throughout the software development lifecycle, from design and implementation, to continuous integration and deployment.

Enhance performance: Apply your understanding of performance fundamentals to implement effective performance tests, analyze results, and contribute to performance observability and optimization efforts.

Partner on reliability and security: Proactively identify potential reliability risks and security vulnerabilities, integrating QA/test practices across the development lifecycle in support of a strong culture of reliability and security.

Collaborate and guide: Partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Design teams, offering practical guidance, promoting and leading QA/test practices, and utilizing advanced tools and innovative methods to support shared ownership of quality and deliver exceptional user experiences.

Who you are:

You are a skilled software developer with a unique affinity for QA, and a deep passion for working with teams to build valuable, resilient, and high-performing services and applications. You have a keen analytical mind, a proactive, creative ‘outside the box’ approach to identifying risks and potential issues, and driving to implement innovative solutions. You thrive in a collaborative environment, bringing your experience in development and QA/test methods to bear on complex challenges. You’re comfortable working with strong voices and helping guide conversations about quality, even when you're not the loudest in the room. We're looking for someone who not only understands the "how" of quality assurance but also the "why": you continuously strive to enhance user experience and business value by building in and advocating quality at every stage of the product development lifecycle.
