Test Double

Great software is made by great teams. We build both.

Enjoy your work again & make an impact

We're experienced software developers who use whatever tools and processes our clients use, so we're always learning new technologies and techniques. We're also empathetic collaborators who join teams facing all kinds of challenges, which means we're continually growing our ability to have an impact with clients as consultants.

Do your best work with autonomy and flexibility

We were 100% remote long before it was fashionable. And we're staying that way.

Since founding the Test Double software development agency in 2011, our recipe for success has been simple: find skilled, driven software developers and trust them with the autonomy to solve their client's problems as they best see fit.

That's it. Really.

Have a voice and become an owner

One of our values is that we're owners. We empower senior software engineers to identify problems, build consensus, and develop solutions. By the way, that’s what makes for being a good consultant, even if you’ve never been one before.

Ownership is about more than serving clients: it means steering the future of Test Double. As an established-but-growing software agency, we’re still at the size where people have a real say in how we improve the way the world builds software. That's why we create space each week called Growth Time, giving each double agent the opportunity to invest in their career goals while making an impact on the trajectory of the whole company.

We are really proud of the third way we are owners—we are 100% employee-owned with an Employee Stock Ownership Program (a.k.a. an "ESOP"). Think of this as a long-term retirement plan offering equitable equity with real, tangible value. That value is held within the ESOP employee shares and trust. Plus, we reinvest profit to benefit share valuation. (Want to learn more? Check out this blog post from co-founder and CEO, Todd Kaufman on why we opted for the ESOP structure.)

Grow with us as we work to improve how the world builds software

We're software developer consultants who embed remotely with client teams and take on interesting challenges. Because no two engagements are alike, we don't expect our agents to be experts in the particular business domains and software systems of our clients.

Instead, we're looking for voracious learners, software engineers who find ways to deliver value quickly, and deep thinkers who can glean useful insights to push our clients (and our practice) forward.

If you want lots of variety in projects and clients you work on, and you’re the kind of person who wants to always improve, we want to talk.

There’s a reason always improving is part of our core values. At Test Double you grow alongside an amazing team of software engineers with wide-ranging experience. Double agents benefit with support from both support agents and talented peers. It may be why so many of us choose to give back with open source projects, giving talks and Great Causes work.

Still hesitant? No pressure!

One way software is broken: most companies suck at interviewing people. That's why we worked to build an interview process that's kind and intentional for software engineers.

We focus on your goals and respect your time—regardless of whether Test Double is the right place for you right now.

We start with an open-handed conversation about what you are looking for, what it's like to work at Test Double, and what to expect from our interview process.

Most companies keep candidates in the dark between interviews, but our goal is transparency and responsiveness. You'll have a designated member of team who will ensure you have visibility into our process and your current status in it.

Plus, we're upfront about compensation and benefits, so you have the whole picture.
