Product Assurance Engineer

Are you a curious, detail‑oriented person who loves shipping polished products? We are seeking a Product Assurance Engineer to work on a multi‑disciplinary team to assure that Oxide ships the highest quality product to our customers.

Collaborate with varying internal and external stakeholders to assure that we deliver a product that meets our customers' needs and expectations.

Be the first consumer of every product release – kick the tires by exercising common customer use cases, gathering performance metrics, and operating the rack like a customer would.

Contribute to infrastructure projects to help improve automated test reliability and turnaround time.

Refine quality and release processes with Program Management and Engineering to assure that we continue to deliver a product that improves with every iteration.

Contribute to other areas of the product that interest you – beyond your day‑to‑day product assurance duties.

Have previously worked with complex deliverables involving multiple teams.

Have a background in taking complicated systems through their paces.

Take pride in delivering a polished, high‑quality product.

Enjoy working with customers to assure that a product meets their needs.

Have hands‑on experience with software development and test automation.

Drive clear communication within engineering teams, between engineering teams and the rest of the company, and with customers.

Are energized by the thought of operating between traditional roles and silos in service of shipping the highest quality product.

Value the written word and can concisely communicate in written form.

Get excited about a wide range of technical topics and dig really deeply into them.

Learn enough about our product to understand our approach.

We are very explicit about our values, and they can be seen in daily life at Oxide, for example:

• Our rigor means we enjoy and take pride in the craft of engineering.
• Our urgency means we are not above the judicious short‑cut.
• Our versatility is reflected in our greatest strength: the breadth of our team.
• Our transparency can be seen in our consensus‑driven RFD process.
• Our responsibility means that we both lead and follow: we have our own domains, but we also help others on their parts.
• Our curiosity shows in our insatiable desire to learn – and our empathy in our love of teaching others.
• Our humor is a big part of our daily lives: we are inveterate wise‑crackers whose video meetings spill into simultaneous text chat.

Most of our team are based outside of the Bay Area. We do ask that your workday overlaps with Pacific Time for at least four hours.

Our families and lives outside of our jobs are very important to us; our schedules are flexible to reflect and support that.

We offer the best medical PPO, dental, and vision plans we can find and cover 100% of premiums for employees and dependents.

Everyone at Oxide makes $235,000 USD, regardless of location. (Some sales positions have a lower base salary and contain a commission component.)
