Key job responsibilities
Application engineers in the E-reader platform team are able to understand software internals, debug code, automate repetitive tasks, and implement new tools and frameworks needed to streamline our quality process. Our application engineers work directly with SDE-Ts, software development engineers, and QAEs to understand features, review technical designs, and implement and maintain automated test tools that help deliver quality features with efficiency.
