About the role

Software engineer role focused on owning distributed test execution and internal tooling as products for the engineering team, with emphasis on testing as a software design problem and fast, trustworthy feedback loops.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and build test infrastructure as a product: frameworks, libraries, and services that make writing fast, reliable tests the path of least resistance.
  • Design scalable CI systems (e.g., GitHub Actions, CircleCI) to keep feedback loops short as the codebase grows
  • Build internal developer tools that improve developer productivity and shorten iteration cycles
  • Tackle reliability problems such as flaky-test detection, test isolation, and environment/data management.
  • Drive best practices in testing, observability, and release confidence across the engineering org
  • Research and implement new automation approaches - including the use of AI - to stay ahead of industry trends and keep our testing infrastructure cutting-edge.
  • Use coverage and failure data to guide where engineering teams invest in testing, and influence architecture so code is testable by design
  • Mentor Engineers on test design, tooling, and automation best practices.

Qualifications

  • BS or MS in Computer Science, or equivalent coursework.
  • At least 5 years of professional software engineering experience, including time building or owning testing frameworks, CI systems, or developer tooling.
  • Production-quality code in a language such as C, C++, C#, Java, Python, Javascript, Go or Rust.
  • Designed or significantly improved CI/CD tools, such as GitHub Actions, CircleCI or GitLab.
  • Experience building testing strategies across the stack (unit, integration, API, and end-to-end).
  • Mentorship mindset and ability to help others grow their technical capabilities with Cypress and other automation techniques.
  • Proactive problem-solver who can navigate Linux-based systems and debug distributed systems.
  • Passionate about testing as a core part of how great software gets built.
  • Authorized to work in the United States without restrictions (no visa sponsorship for this role).
