Join a high-impact engineering team focused on building the quality infrastructure that enables developers to deliver reliable software at scale. In this role, you will design and enhance automated testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and engineering tools that improve software quality across a modern cloud-native platform. You will leverage AI-driven technologies to strengthen test automation, accelerate regression detection, and continuously improve engineering efficiency. Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will help establish quality as a core engineering discipline while contributing hands-on to software development. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges in a fast-paced, globally distributed environment with a strong culture of innovation and ownership.

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable automated testing frameworks supporting REST and gRPC APIs.
• Build and improve AI-assisted quality engineering solutions to automate test generation, strengthen regression coverage, and convert production incidents into long-term automated test cases.
• Develop, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines to improve software delivery speed and reliability.
• Plan and execute performance, load, stress, and scalability testing to validate platform resilience under increasing demand.
• Implement chaos engineering practices by designing fault-injection experiments that proactively identify system weaknesses.
• Standardize quality engineering tools, frameworks, and development workflows to improve the developer experience across engineering teams.
• Collaborate closely with software engineers to increase test coverage, diagnose production issues, and deliver robust technical solutions.
• Mentor fellow engineers and promote engineering best practices focused on quality, automation, and continuous improvement.

• 5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer building and supporting production-grade software systems.
• At least 1 year of professional experience developing applications in Go, with strong proficiency in strongly typed programming languages.
• Practical experience using AI-powered development tools and large language models (LLMs) to enhance software engineering and testing workflows.
• Proven expertise designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, preferably using GitHub Actions, Google Cloud Build, or similar platforms.
• Strong experience developing automated testing frameworks for distributed or microservices-based architectures.
• Solid knowledge of Kubernetes, Helm, containerization, and cloud-native deployment best practices.
• Experience working in startup or fast-paced environments with evolving priorities and a high level of ownership.
• Ability to independently manage projects from requirements gathering through implementation, deployment, monitoring, and optimization.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Experience with Python, TypeScript, Docker, Terraform, Argo CD, Google Cloud Platform, Google Kubernetes Engine, Kafka, Redpanda, chaos engineering tools, or performance testing frameworks such as k6 and ghz would be considered an advantage.

• Competitive salary.
• Equity or stock option program.
• Comprehensive health benefits.
• One-time home office setup allowance of USD $500.
• Monthly remote work stipend of USD $150.
• Fully remote work environment with global collaboration.
