See&nbsp;</li> <li>The&nbsp;<strong>way we work</strong>:</li> <ul> <li>This is a&nbsp;<strong>remote job</strong>&nbsp;- work anywhere you want, and in any timezone on earth (or outside earth, whatever).</li> <li>We are an&nbsp;<strong>asynchronous</strong>&nbsp;team - we don't do scheduled meetings, and rely on each team member to pick their own schedule and to communicate clearly in writing and with recorded videos.&nbsp;.</li> </ul> <li>We operate completely&nbsp;<strong>autonomously</strong>&nbsp;- no one will tell you what to do, we'll just tell you the goals and you will figure out how to work towards them with the rest of the team.</li> </ul> <p><strong>The role</strong></p> <ul> <li>We’re looking for our first Software Engineer in Test who thinks about&nbsp;<strong>quality as a system</strong>, not a phase at the end of development.</li> <li>You’ll work closely with product and engineering to reduce overall bugginess in a fast-moving application where&nbsp;<strong>dozens of features and fixes ship daily</strong>.</li> <li>This is&nbsp;<strong>not a traditional QA role</strong>&nbsp;— you’ll help define what “good” looks like, build guardrails that scale, and make quality visible across the team. You won’t be reviewing and QA’ing every pull request, but instead, adding a layer of QA and creating Production monitoring tools to help fix + prevent issues from ever reaching our customers.</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What you'll do</strong></p> <ul> <li>Review, test, and monitor correctness of features in a fast-moving product that ships to Production&nbsp;<em>daily</em></li> <li>Create alerts that help us catch issues before they become issues</li> <li>Monitor AI workflow correctness, audit individual workflows to catch regressions</li> <li>Make sure tests consistently run super fast</li> <li>Maintain staging and test environments that are useful</li> <li>Design and evolve automated tests that meaningfully reduce risk, and help close gaps in test coverage</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Our interview process</strong></p> <p>Our interview process is designed to focus on&nbsp;<strong>your skills</strong>&nbsp;as a software engineer, and your ability to&nbsp;<strong>communicate clearly</strong>. We're a fully asynchronous company, so that's how we will communicate in this interview process too .</p> <ol> <li>We'll ask you to work on&nbsp;<strong>~60 minute coding challenge&nbsp;</strong>while recording a Loom (or other screen recording) video of yourself doing the exercise</li> <li>After reviewing the exercise, we'll ask you to work on a second&nbsp;<strong>~60 minute coding challenge&nbsp;</strong>while recording a loom (or other screen recording) video.</li> <li>If the video interview above goes well, we'll want to learn a bit more about&nbsp;<strong>how you communicate in writing</strong>&nbsp;- we will ask you to contribute to a&nbsp;<strong>technical design document</strong>&nbsp;for a new feature, focusing on what system-level tests and monitoring should be built to accompany this feature</li> <li>Lastly, a short culture-fit interview with our co-founder Michelle.</li> </ol> <p>And finally, hopefully we'll send you an offer. And hopefully you'll accept!</p> </div> <h2>Requirements</h2> <div> <ul> <li>You're an excellent engineer (you write high quality tests and monitoring, you ship quickly)</li> <li>You think in terms of user impact and risk, not just test cases</li> <li>Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-changing environments</li> <li>Strong opinions about flaky tests (and how to eliminate them)</li> <li>You’ve owned quality for a product or system before</li> <li>You're a great communicator via writing, and via recorded videos.</li> <li>You're excited about working on a globally-distributed and diverse team, in an incredibly unique culture where autonomy, accountability, and ownership are equally as valued as your skillset.</li> </ul> </div> <h2>Benefits</h2> <div> <ul> <li>Unlimited vacation</li> <li>Completely flexible work schedule - work literally anytime (and anywhere) you want!</li> <li>Benefits appropriate to your location (health/dental/vision in the USA)</li> <li>Company wide retreats multiple times per year</li> <li>Like all start-ups we're scrappy, but not scrappy on compensation: Subscript is committed to paying our awesome team members at market-rate, including benefits.</li> </ul> </div> <p><strong>To apply:</strong> <a href="https://weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs/subscript-software-engineer-test">https://weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs/subscript-software-engineer-test</a></p>
