Responsibilities

~1 min read

→3+ years of software engineering experience, with significant work on testing infrastructure, developer tools, or distributed systems
→Strong Python — you'll write substantial code, much of it touching production-adjacent infrastructure
→Experience designing and building automation pipelines (CI/CD, test orchestration, build systems)
→Deep familiarity with at least one large-scale software platform — comfortable thinking in terms of APIs, abstractions, and platform usability
→Excellent debugging and systems thinking — you'll be reasoning about failures across simulation, networking, serialization, and CI infrastructure
→Comfort building greenfield — much of what you'll work on does not exist today

Requirements

Experience with robotics, autonomous vehicles, or other safety-critical systems
Hands-on experience with simulation environments (Gazebo, CARLA, Isaac Sim, or proprietary)
Familiarity with pub/sub messaging systems (ZMQ, ROS, DDS) and binary serialization formats (Cap'n Proto, Protobuf)
C++ familiarity — enough to read and integrate against the autonomy stack
Cloud infrastructure experience for parallel test execution (AWS/GCP, Kubernetes)
Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing or real-time systems
Performance engineering background — you've debugged and optimized slow CI/test pipelines before

Languages: Python
Test Frameworks: pytest, simulation-based
Infrastructure: Docker, GitHub Actions, cloud compute for simulation
Communication/Documentation: Slack, Notion

Build a simulation harness that runs the full autonomy stack against parameterized mining scenarios in cloud-based parallel execution
Design a log-to-test-case pipeline that ingests a production log fragment and produces a deterministic replay test the QA Engineer can add to a regression suite
Build a test platform dashboard that surfaces flaky tests, slow tests, and coverage gaps to the QA Engineer and developer lead
