Software Engineer – Test

The basics

• The stack:
  Node.js/Express, Typescript, React, Postgres, Clickhouse, Mongo
  
  DB, Node.js/Express, Heroku
• The product:
  We’re building agentic software for Finance and Operations teams to automate high-volume workflows across systems, from AP and AR to payroll, inventory, and reconciliations.
• The way we work:
  • This is a remote job – work anywhere you want, and in any timezone on earth (or outside earth, whatever).
  • We are an asynchronous 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.
• We operate completely autonomously – no one will tell you what to do, we’ll just tell you the goals and you will figure out how to work toward them with the rest of the team.

• We’re looking for our first Software Engineer in Test who thinks about quality as a system, not a phase at the end of development.
• You’ll work closely with product and engineering to reduce overall bugginess in a fast-moving application where dozens of features and fixes ship daily.
• This is not a traditional QA role — 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.

• Review, test, and monitor correctness of features in a fast-moving product that ships to Production daily
• Create alerts that help us catch issues before they become issues
• Monitor AI workflow correctness, audit individual workflows to catch regressions
• Make sure tests consistently run super fast
• Maintain staging and test environments that are useful
• Design and evolve automated tests that meaningfully reduce risk, and help close gaps in test coverage

Our interview process is designed to focus on your skills as a software engineer, and your ability to communicate clearly. We’re a fully asynchronous company, so that’s how we will communicate in this interview process too.

And finally, hopefully we’ll send you an offer. And hopefully you’ll accept!

• You’re an excellent engineer (you write high quality tests and monitoring, you ship quickly)
• You think in terms of user impact and risk, not just test cases
• Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-changing environments
• Strong opinions about flaky tests (and how to eliminate them)
• You’ve owned quality for a product or system before
• You’re a great communicator via writing, and via recorded videos.
• 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.

• Unlimited vacation
• Completely flexible work schedule – work literally anytime (and anywhere) you want!
• Benefits appropriate to your location (health/dental/vision in the USA)
• Company wide retreats multiple times per year
• 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.
