Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain production-grade test infrastructure, AI/ML evaluation systems, agentic validation harnesses, release orchestration tooling, observability systems, and performance testing platforms.
  • Design agentic test harnesses that interact with applications, browsers, APIs, databases, logs, telemetry, and CI/CD systems to execute and validate complex workflows.
  • Create evaluation frameworks for non-deterministic systems using deterministic assertions, semantic and model-based evaluation, regression datasets, and human review.
  • Implement structured logging, metrics, distributed tracing, and execution timelines to diagnose automated and agentic workflow outcomes.
  • Develop systems that distinguish product, test, infrastructure, and AI/model reasoning failures and correlate them with operational evidence.
  • Design test automation frameworks, migrate from Cypress to Playwright, and own test environment provisioning, parallelization, and CI/CD integration.
  • Apply AI to test generation, flaky-test triage, failure clustering, and release-risk analysis with evidence-based guardrails.
  • Partner with Software Engineering, Quality Engineering, SRE, and Platform teams and mentor engineers on test architecture and AI-assisted engineering.

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of experience as an SDET or software engineer building test infrastructure, developer tooling, platform engineering, observability, or release engineering systems.
  • Strong programming ability in JavaScript and TypeScript, including backend services, libraries, frameworks, and production infrastructure.
  • Strong fundamentals in system design, distributed systems, APIs, asynchronous systems, and production operations.
  • Experience scaling CI/CD systems, release orchestration, test infrastructure, developer platforms, or observability and telemetry systems.
  • Hands-on experience with LLMs, AI-assisted engineering, or agentic systems, including tool/function calling, agent workflows, and multi-step AI workflows.
  • Experience or familiarity with LLM and agent evaluation, evaluation datasets, deterministic evaluators, model-based evaluators, and probabilistic systems.
  • Strong understanding of the testing pyramid and validation across unit, integration, API, UI, performance, and agentic layers.
  • Ability to mentor engineers and raise technical quality standards across teams.

Benefits

  • Remote-first work arrangement with the role based in Austin, Texas and remote candidates considered.
  • Comprehensive health plans, a 401k program, commuter benefits, professional development, parental leave, and flexible time off.
