Oxford, United Kingdom Diffblue Full time
DescriptionAbout DiffblueDiffblue is one of the most powerful use cases for artificial intelligence in the world today. Developers typically spend 25% to 50% of their time writing unit tests and it is not a task most enjoy. Our product Diffblue Cover automatically writes unit tests for Java applications and works 250 times faster than a human. It never gets bored or makes mistakes. This allows our clients to deliver higher quality software much faster.  Diffblue spun out of the University of Oxford in 2016 and received the largest AI Series A funding in Europe in 2017. Having just closed our latest round of funding we are building out our go-to-market sales & marketing teams. We promote an environment in which we support and learn from each other.

Competencies
