Full Job Description
WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON
We are hiring pioneering and collaborative engineers to build our next generation of intelligent products. Our quality engineers are conscientious hackers who thrive on collaboration and are adept at driving large-scale projects in the fast-changing domain of artificial intelligence. You will be at the forefront of building the automation, tooling, and quality systems that let us ship complex, AI-driven products with confidence, bringing rigor and trust to a data-rich industry.
As a Quality Engineer, you build quality into the engineering process rather than testing it after the fact. You take ownership of well-defined but technically challenging quality problems, and you're trusted to make sound decisions on automation design without close supervision. You collaborate closely with software engineers, understand the systems you're testing at a deep level, and contribute to raising the quality bar on the team you work with. RESPONSIBILITIES
Your work will focus on building and scaling our test automation, quality infrastructure, and performance testing systems
You'll lead the design and implementation of our core automation frameworks, including our migration from Cypress to Playwright, along with our performance testing framework
You'll perform root cause analysis on product defects and test failures, triaging and debugging issues to determine whether the failure is in the product, the test, or the environment, before routing it to the right owner
You will tackle our most challenging quality problems, from automation architecture to AI-assisted testing, driving projects from ideation to deployment and beyond. Our engineers are generalists, and your responsibilities will be flexible based on company needs as well as your skills and interests. You will have a high degree of autonomy to identify and pursue impactful work
YOUR BACKGROUND THAT LIKELY MAKES YOU A MATCH
We are looking for strong quality engineers with 3-5+ years of experience building and maintaining test automation for complex software systems
You have excellent programming ability in JavaScript/TypeScript, and are comfortable writing and maintaining production-grade automation code
You have a proven track record of designing, leading, and delivering large-scale, cross-functional quality initiatives
You're comfortable triaging and debugging test failures independently, and can do root cause analysis on both product bugs and flaky or failing tests not just report that something failed
You have hands-on experience integrating AI into the quality workflow, from test generation to flaky-test triage, along with the judgment to know when AI-generated output needs a closer look
You have significant experience mentoring engineers and providing technical leadership that raises the bar for an entire engineering organization
You have thrived in multiple engineering environments and have a history of driving quality strategy and vision
While this role is based in Austin, Texas, we're open to exploring remote possibilities for qualified candidates. We have other physical office locations in San Francisco, California, and Concord, New Hampshire. THE TECH STACK YOU'LL USE
Javascript / NodeJS / Typescript
Cypress, Playwright, AI agentic framework
Performance testing framework (JMeter / k6)
MongoDB
Microservice architecture / Kubernetes
AWS / Google Cloud
