QA Software Engineer (Remote)Building the Quality Standard for Veterinary Care InfrastructureThe RoleWhat You'll OwnBuild Test Coverage Across the StackArchitect and build a robust test suite from the ground up for our Flutter applications (web + desktop) and our FastAPI/gRPC backend services. Build contract and integration tests for critical APIs, including payment processing, PIMS integrations, and internal services.
Pioneer AI-Assisted QAUse LLMs to generate test cases from PRs, specs, and code diffs, then curate and maintain the output. Use AI for exploratory testing - feeding app state, API responses, and UI structures into models to surface edge cases and inconsistencies humans would miss. Build and maintain prompt libraries and workflows for repeatable AI-assisted QA tasks.
Own Production ReliabilityOwn observability from a quality and reliability lens: error budgets, alerting thresholds, anomaly detection, and resilience testing. Instrument visual regression testing for our admin and hospital-facing UIs.
Build Quality Infrastructure & ProcessDevelop and maintain test data management strategies and reusable test utilities. Establish defect reporting and triage workflows, and quality metrics/reporting, so the rest of engineering has a clear view of coverage and release readiness.
Partner Across the OrgCollaborate with developers, product, and customer support to identify quality risks early, with a customer-first mindset toward the end-to-end experience. Work with developers to improve test patterns across the codebase, with a bias toward generated-and-reviewed over hand-written-from-scratch. Continuously evaluate new AI testing tools and integrate them where they create real leverage.
What We're Looking For- 3+ years in a QA, SDET, or test automation role - automation-first, not manual-first
- Active, demonstrated use of AI/LLM tools in your testing and reliability workflow (Claude, Copilot, Codex, or similar) - we will ask you about this in detail
- Strong proficiency in Dart and Flutter testing (unit, widget, golden, and integration tests)
- Experience testing Flutter Web (Playwright or similar) and/or Flutter Desktop applications strongly preferred
- Comfort writing Python tests for FastAPI and gRPC services (pytest experience a big plus)
- Experience building CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar)
- Comfort working across the stack - Flutter frontends, Python/gRPC backends, and third-party integrations
- Experience with contract testing or API testing frameworks
- Familiarity with production observability tools (Sentry, Datadog, or similar) and reliability concepts like SLOs and error budgets
- Strong product intuition - able to identify the 10% of paths that carry 90% of the risk
- Self-directed and comfortable building a function from zero, not inheriting one
Why Nest- 5X growth trajectory - your work will directly contribute to how Nest grows and scales
- High-impact role - you'll have meaningful ownership and the opportunity to make a visible impact across the business
- Mission that matters - help more pets get access to the preventive care they need
- Ground-floor opportunity - help define what great quality and reliability engineering looks like as Nest continues to grow
- Teammates who show up - work alongside a kind, motivated, and collaborative team
