About the Project
The team that you would be working with are actively developing and supporting hundreds of customers who are using our three products: Commission Expense Accounting, Advanced Quota Planning and Operational Sales Management. These products are actively selling and have an increasing market footprint. There are a number of challenges that need to be addressed which include a healthy product roadmap, deep technical roadmap, current customer issues and performance optimizations as the products are being operationalized by large enterprise customers. Since the base platform has been around for many years, we have both older technology (Knockout, AngularJS, etc.) to support and refactor as well as enhancements using new technologies (ReactJS, .Net Core, Serverless Functions, etc.).

Many of our larger customers are using these products in new ways (new scenarios, new data volumes, etc.), so there is pressure on the quality engineering team to ensure that we have automated tests and sprint testing coverage to ensure that we minimize the number of escaped defects. There is a lot of organizational attention on these products, which is why we are expanding the team to get the help that we need.
