About Karate Labs

Improving business performance through software development requires enterprises to empower developers, for not just speed but also to tap into the full potential of development talent. To get the best ROI from developers’ talent, best-in-class tools are a primary driver of developer velocity. A developer’s ability to access the right tools for each stage of the software life cycle contributes to developer satisfaction and ROI from the developer tools purchased.

Karate is an open-source unified test automation platform combining API testing, API performance testing, API mocks & UI testing.

Karate has been a top choice for developers, QA teams, and enterprise customers as we have delivered ROI by saving the time it takes to write tests for a single API (60% less code, 1 hour instead of 4), re-using API test-flows as performance tests, running parallel tests and unifying API & UI test automation.

415+ companies including 42 of the Fortune 500 are testimony to Karate making testing simple, fun and collaborative.

How did we achieve this? Karate was created keeping Developer Experience (DX) first and foremost. Karate makes test-scripts simpler, more readable, and maintainable by relying on an innovative combination of an interpreted DSL (Domain Specific Language), JSON support and JavaScript engine.

Remaining true to our mission of making test automation fun & collaborative, we continue to invest in enhancing DX. Plugins serve up ready-to-go solutions, saving a lot of developers a lot of time. In 1-year of releasing our official IntelliJ plugin we have crossed 19,000 downloads.

We are a for-profit open-source company at our core.

About the role

Skills:Git, Java, Kotlin

This role focuses on ensuring that our users (mostly software developers) have the best possible developer-experience using the Karate IntelliJ plugin.

You will join a growing team of product managers, product engineers, customer success and digital marketing based across the globe. You’ll grow professionally and have fun with your colleagues; we like to invest in our team with on boarding plans, career advancement opportunities, and mentorship.

On a day-to-day basis, you will work closely with the CTO. You will interact frequently and conduct research with our customers. You will mix strategic and high-level work with creating detailed designs. You will be working with the self-serve team, where you’ll have the chance to run experiments, solve complex interaction issues, and create better integration experiences. You can count on fast feedback cycles: we run company-wide feedback sessions weekly – your ideas will be put into users’ hands very quickly.

Who are we looking for?

• You are comfortable working in a remote-first company; communication is key. For us, working together means being collaborative, friendly, kind and respectful. We operate by consensus; you can contribute to a discussion but then commit to the team decision.

• You are required to have a strong background in Java and at least 5 years of experience with it.

• Experience with IntelliJ plugin development is desired. Developing on the IntelliJ Platform requires an understanding of multiple Java and Kotlin APIs, exploring code samples and reading API documentation - so a learning and research mindset is key.

• Experience with Kotlin is desired, but for the right candidate - this can be easily picked up on the job.

• You are expected to directly interact with end-users, study their feedback, define the product roadmap, and then perform the implementation and release. Experience with test-automation especially for REST APIs is good to have.

• Experience with Git and GitHub is preferred, and a history of open-source commits or contributions is an advantage.
