The role

We are the group responsible for Projects and Collaboration within Premiere Pro, delivering creative tools used by millions of professionals around the world.

• Collaborate with senior engineers alongside product managers to detect risk areas early and develop test plans that ensure detailed coverage
• Own end-to-end quality for complex desktop features, from functional validation to performance and stress testing
• Identify, reproduce, and triage bugs with precision – working across codebases to pinpoint root causes and advocate for permanent fixes
• Champion quality initiatives across the organization, driving continuous improvement in tooling, test infrastructure, and release processes
• Mentor junior QE team members and lead by example in building a quality‑first engineering approach

• More than 10 years of experience working in software testing or as a software engineer in test
• Strong Type Script/JavaScript skills; full‑stack or automation scripting experience is a plus
• Verified expertise in developing and maintaining comprehensive automated test environments for Mac and/or Windows desktop applications
• Sharp analytical instincts – you can isolate intermittent failures, identify patterns in noisy data, and communicate findings clearly
• Experience with performance testing, memory profiling, and debugging tools on desktop platforms
• Hands‑on editing experience with After Effects and Premiere Pro
• Working experience with AI assistant tooling such as Claude, Copilot, and/or ChatGPT
• Passion for quality as an engineering field – not just finding bugs, but preventing them
• Collaborative approach: comfortable working across teams, asking hard questions, and giving direct feedback
• Desire to stay curious and keep learning as tools, platforms, and user expectations evolve
