Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.
Stand Together is a mission-driven organization committed to driving positive social change and empowering individuals to overcome barriers. Our community is growing and so is the impact of our work to move toward a society where everyone has the opportunity to succeed by benefiting others. We're looking for a QA Engineer to ensure the excellence and reliability of Loop, a pivotal product within the Stand Together Foundation’s technology pipeline. You can learn more about Loop here.
As a QA Engineer, you will utilize your technical and organizational skills to serve as the guardian of product quality. You will be part of a cross-disciplinary team of product managers, data scientists, designers, and developers who believe in people and in the power of technology to help people transform their lives. Our team brings a unique blend of experiences from both for-profit and non-profit sectors.
Many reading this job description likely will not have considered a quality assurance role in the social sector. If you have experience hardening products at for-profit companies and are ready to tackle some of society’s greatest problems, this role is the perfect chance to apply your skills to a completely new domain, ensuring the tools that help people are as reliable as they are impactful.
You'll be instrumental in the success of Loop, a software product designed to help millions of individuals in need get connected to the nonprofits best able to support them. Your work ensures that when someone reaches out for help, the technology works flawlessly.
