About Test Double

Software is broken, and we are working hard to fix it. While the goal may seem audacious, it’s what drives us. We’re looking for others to help join our cause to improve the lives of software developers, business owners, and users who are saddled with hard-to-maintain code, cost overruns, and buggy apps.

Test Double is a software growing consultancy with over 120 consultants working remotely in the United States and Canada. As Test Double has grown, so have the demands on supporting and growing our ever-expanding group of talented consultants. We are looking for an experience partner to join our virtual office, fulfilling career arcs while delivering excellence for our clients.

Summary

This role focuses on matching consultants with the right client opportunities while balancing what’s best for the client, the consultant, and the business. It’s about keeping people engaged, growing, and supported—making sure no one burns out, gets stuck doing the same thing, or feels disconnected from the company. The person in this role works closely with partners and HR to make fair, thoughtful placement decisions, handle transitions smoothly, and advocate for consultants’ goals and wellbeing. They keep the process open and transparent so consultants understand how decisions are made and feel confident that their voices matter. The ultimate goal is a healthy, happy consulting team where everyone has meaningful, sustainable work and a clear path for growth.

Responsibilities

Placement Pattern Management: Monitor placement patterns to prevent burnout, repetitive assignments, or disconnection from the company’s culture.

Consultant Continuity: Manage consultant transitions between projects thoughtfully—capturing learnings, coordinating logistics, and supporting career continuity.

Consultant Advocacy: Advocate for consultant wellbeing and professional growth by ensuring access to meaningful, developmental opportunities.

Placement System Transparency: Promote transparency and open communication about staffing decisions, ensuring consultants understand the process, criteria, and rationale, can self-nominate effectively, and trust decisions are fair.

Consultant Touchpoints: Maintain regular, lightweight touchpoints with consultants to understand their skills, workload, interests, and overall satisfaction.

Collaboration with HR and People Systems: Partner with HR on performance management and advancement decisions, using cross-engagement insights to ensure fair, consistent practices and support organizational health.

Test Double Alignment: Strengthen connection to the company’s mission and community, particularly for consultants working on solo client engagements.

System Improvement: Continuously improve the placement and continuity systems to support a growing organization and enhance both consultant and client outcomes.

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.
