ABOUT US:

Phyn is changing the way people think about water. In just nine years nearly two in three people may face a shortage of clean water. Yet in the U.S alone, people unknowingly waste a trillion gallons of water per year, largely because It’s an invisible problem that is hidden behind the walls, underground, or simply ignored. But what if it could become more visible? We believe that creating the tools to bring issues to light before they start is the key to saving water, saving money and, just maybe, saving the planet.

Phyn is the result of nearly a decade of research, development, lab and field testing. We are preparing to launch and we need an experienced Quality Assurance Engineer who is passionate about supporting the testing of products, systems and applications across all phases of the product development life cycle. Someone who wants to apply best practices and forward-thinking testing solutions, and who wants to actively contribute to the long-term success of our product, and to having a hand in improving the availability of our global water supply for generations to come.

We want a creative, resourceful, and ambitious Quality Assurance Engineer that is eager to innovate solutions to automate testing of water sensing, wireless consumer IoT devices and their associated experiences. Someone constantly looking to improve system architecture and identify design challenges that may block ideal user experiences. If you want to get your hands dirty from initial evaluation of technical aspects of hardware and firmware, all the way through to a smooth software/app integration, while working on products that will have an impact on solving a major global issue, this is the QA Engineering opportunity to consider.

• Improve it: You will examine PRDs, UI specs and seek to improve system architecture to overcome design challenges that may block specified UX functionality.

WHO YOU ARE:

You want to work on challenging problems with smart people. You’re someone who could get positions at most software companies, but you’re looking for the perfect role that has great leadership, a roster of top talent, game-changing product vision, and a work hard/play hard company culture.
