Product Features
Aiming for a world where testing is done without code
In software development, testing functionality and quality is an essential process. However, now that agile development has become mainstream, the workload required for testing has become a significant issue. Teams have to make improvements in short release cycles, sometimes as fast as a few days. It has become difficult to allocate enough time and staff for testing.
With Autify, our test automation platform, anyone can easily create and maintain automated tests without the help of engineers. This allows people to focus on the creative and productive work that only people can do.
Why work at Autify?
A leading SaaS product with a global growth potential
Autify can be used by any company that develops systems and applications. In fact, the number of companies that use Autify has been rapidly increasing, and testing as a market is expected to continue to grow. You will work in an environment where you can utilize your sales experience to achieve results on a larger scale than ever before.
Evaluation and compensation system that allows you to aim higher, even while working remotely
At Autify, you can work fully remote on a flex schedule. To create a flexible work environment, we have built a system that clearly reflects results, including 360-degree evaluation, committing to self-set goals, and performance review calibrations between managers.
