Case Commons’ mission is to transform public sector human services through user-centered design & technology. We’re pursing this vision through the development of Casebook – the first collaborative, family-centered case management system for child welfare, enabling workers serving the most vulnerable families and children to be more effective and efficient via new software tools. Case Commons is funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, which has spent 20 years pursuing human services system reform, and works in partnership with Pivotal Labs and IDEO.
We are looking for a strong QA Engineer who is passionate about product quality and relishes the idea of solving challenging problems in social and collaborative software.

You will work directly with the QA Manager to help establish and refine QA methodologies that will be used by a larger team in the future.
