Job Description
Build the quality practices and systems that help connect kitchen teams, cloud services, and robotic production systems. As a Senior Software Quality Engineer, you will own test strategy, release validation, automation, and early issue triage across complex software and operational workflows. You will work across frontend applications, backend services, cloud infrastructure, integrations, and robot-adjacent interfaces. You will partner closely with product, culinary, operations, robotics, firmware, and mechanical teams to understand how the system is expected to behave, identify meaningful risks, and turn ambiguous operational requirements into practical test plans and reliable validation processes. We are looking for someone who is deeply hands-on, enjoys investigating complex problems, and takes ownership from planning through release and production support. You’ll collaborate with experienced engineers across disciplines while helping raise the quality, reliability, testability, and maintainability of our software.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
- 7+ years of software quality, test engineering, or related experience, including ownership of complex test strategies or quality initiatives across multiple components.
- Deep experience creating and executing test plans for production software.
- Strong experience with test automation using one or more programming languages.
- Experience testing APIs, backend services, web applications, databases, integrations, and asynchronous or event-driven workflows.
- Experience owning or coordinating release validation, release checkout, or production-readiness activities.
- Strong debugging and investigation skills, including the ability to narrow ambiguous issues across multiple systems.
- Experience working with CI/CD systems and integrating automated tests into build and deployment pipelines.
- Strong judgment about where automation provides leverage and where focused manual or exploratory testing is more effective.
- Deep experience improving software quality, reliability, and testability.
- Strong product judgment and the ability to translate real operational workflows into practical validation strategies.
- Clear written and verbal communication, including test plans, release checklists, quality reports, operational playbooks, and cross-functional alignment.

- Experience with API and service testing using Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, C#, or similar languages.
- Docker, Kubernetes, Protobuf, Terraform, Git, and continuous delivery systems.
- Simulation environments, mocked or simulated backend services, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and integration testing.
- SQL, analytics platforms, operational dashboards, or data-intensive product development.
- Software that interacts with hardware, robotics, IoT, logistics, manufacturing, fulfillment, or other physical operations.
- Experience validating systems that must handle intermittent connectivity, dependency failures, retries, partial completion, or delayed events.
- Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Sentry, Grafana, Prometheus, CloudWatch, or similar platforms.
- Building internal tools or operational software used in high-availability, real-time environments.
- Experience participating in incident response, production support, or on-call rotations.
