Overview

As a Member of Technical Staff in Quality Engineering at micro1, you will design and build an intelligent, highly automated quality engineering system where AI agents help generate tests, execute regression suites, investigate failures, and continuously improve test coverage. You will own the technical foundations that allow the engineering team to ship quickly and confidently without scaling QA headcount alongside product complexity. This is a staff-level role for someone with deep test automation expertise, strong software engineering fundamentals, and a track record of building systems that make quality an integrated, automated part of software development.

What You'll Do8

  • Design and implement AI-powered workflows for test generation, automated regression testing, failure analysis, and intelligent bug triage.
  • Build scalable, maintainable automation frameworks covering web applications, APIs, integrations, and critical end-to-end workflows.
  • Integrate automated quality checks deeply into development workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and release processes.
  • Develop systems that detect regressions, identify likely root causes, classify failures, and reduce the manual effort required to investigate issues.
  • Use AI agents to identify coverage gaps, generate meaningful test scenarios, and prioritize testing based on product changes and risk.
  • Build workflows that support growing product complexity and engineering velocity without requiring proportional increases in QA staffing.
  • Create clear visibility into test reliability, regression trends, release readiness, and overall product quality.
  • Mentor engineers, establish testing standards, and drive a culture where quality is owned across the engineering organization.

Requirements10

  • Staff-level engineering expertise with deep experience in Quality Engineering, Software Development in Test (SDET), or Test Automation Architecture.
  • Strong hands-on programming skills and experience building production-grade test automation frameworks.
  • Extensive experience automating web applications, APIs, and complex end-to-end workflows.
  • Expertise with modern testing frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, pytest, or equivalent technologies.
  • Strong understanding of CI/CD, integration testing, contract testing, regression strategies, and test infrastructure.
  • Proven experience designing scalable testing systems rather than exclusively writing or maintaining individual test cases.
  • AI-native engineering habits: you already use AI coding agents extensively and have practical experience applying AI to test generation, automation, debugging, or quality workflows.
  • Strong systems thinking, including the ability to identify bottlenecks and design automation that removes repetitive QA work.
  • Experience establishing engineering quality standards and mentoring developers or QA engineers.
  • Ability to independently own quality engineering architecture while remaining deeply hands-on.

Who Should Apply

This role suits a staff-level engineer with a background in SDET or test automation architecture who has built scalable testing systems and used AI agents in real development workflows. You should be comfortable moving between writing automation code, investigating complex failures, and designing company-wide quality systems.
