- Partner on incident workflows by reproducing issues, adding targeted regression tests, and improving runbooks and postmortems
- Write documentation including test plans, playbooks, and contributor guidelines for writing high-quality tests
- Example projects you might own: - A PR ephemeral end-to-end testing harness deploying a minimal LangSmith stack in CI and running Playwright/API suites against seeded tenants - A k6 performance scenario simulating multi-tenant traffic and surface p95/p99 latency regressions per release - A flake-budget system that quarantines flaky tests, opens issues with artifacts, and tracks time-to-deflake
Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience as a software engineer or infrastructure engineer
- Strong hands-on experience with Python and testing frameworks such as pytest
- Experience working with CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions preferred) and improving pipeline performance and reliability
