Micruity helps Americans retire securely
Micruity is on a mission to make secure retirement income accessible to all Americans. Too
many people get to retirement age and are forced to figure out how to make a lump sum of
money last over an unpredictable lifetime.

Micruity provides the data network that enables the pensionization of defined contribution plans.
Plan recordkeepers, life insurers, asset managers, and other stakeholders (our “partners”) can
easily build and distribute lifetime income products using Micruity’s API suite and infrastructure.
Micruity’s solution enables a more efficient, cost effective and secure ecosystem for all
stakeholders in the retirement marketplace to flourish.

The end result? Individuals have access to secure retirement income products through their
401(k) plan, getting them a step closer to their financial wellness goals.


Micruity has the talent and financial backing to succeed
With backing from leading investors in the InsurTech and FinTech space and a management
team with almost 50 years of collective entrepreneurial experience, Micruity has the expertise it
needs to revolutionize the retirement industry in a meaningful way.

We reward big thinkers, hard workers, ambition, and honesty. Our team is full of fun-loving
professionals, and we enjoy happy hours and spending time together at industry events. Not a
requirement, but nerding out over math happens often.

Who we’re looking for
The Software Tester role is designed for an individual with a background in both software
development and quality assurance. This role involves creating and executing a strategy for
quality coordination and testing, as well as suggesting solutions to identified quality problems.
The tester will be crucial in helping shape and improve the software testing strategy, processes,
workflows, and pipeline at Micruity, allowing them to significantly influence the development of
this area within the company.

A focus of this role will be on information security; the tester should advocate for integrating
security measures into the development lifecycle, treating security as a fundamental aspect
rather than an afterthought.

The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of the testing ecosystem, combined with
practical experience in software development. They should be adept at making informed

● Help design and implement our QA infrastructure and prototype new ideas, tools, and
frameworks.
● Collaborate with tech and product teams to define key deliverables, ensure consistent
product execution.
● Participate in professional development opportunities including training.
Requirements
● 2+ years of experience as a QA/Tester at a tech company, preferably a startup.
● 1+ years of development experience.
● Experience with modern Javascript, the JS ecosystem, and Git.

● Subject matter expertise in various testing frameworks and ability to make tradeoffs
between them.
● Ability to test automation at different levels like API, UI, Backend, etc.
● Ability to identify the right balance between pre-production and production quality
practices.

Annuity product design or operations, etc.).
● Experience working in a SOC 2-compliant environment.
● Strong attention to detail.
