Job description

We are looking for a Quality Assurance (QA) engineer to develop and execute exploratory and automated tests to ensure product quality. QA engineer responsibilities include designing and implementing tests, debugging and defining corrective actions. You will also review system requirements and track quality assurance metrics (e.g. defect densities and open defect counts.) The QA technician role plays an important part in our company’s product development process. Our ideal candidate will be responsible for conducting tests before product launches to ensure software runs smoothly and meets client needs, while being cost-effective. If you hold an engineering background and enjoy providing end-to-end solutions to software quality problems, we’d like to meet you. Ultimately, you should monitor all stages of software development to identify and resolve system malfunctions to meet quality standards.

Responsibilities

• Review requirements, specifications and technical design documents to provide timely and meaningful feedback
• Create detailed, comprehensive and well-structured test plans and test cases
• Estimate, prioritize, plan and coordinate testing activities
• Identify, record, document thoroughly and track bugs
• Develop and apply testing processes for new and existing products to meet client needs
• Liaise with internal teams (e.g. developers and product managers) to identify system requirements
• Track quality assurance metrics, like defect densities and open defect counts

• Proven work experience in software development
• Proven work experience in software quality assurance

• Experience with performance and/or security testing is a plus
• BS/MS degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related subject

How we work

Our engineers build with AI every day. Claude Code, Codex, and similar tools are part of the standard toolchain here, not an experiment. We run an automated audit across the whole codebase on day one and every day after, grading security, cost, and architecture findings by severity with the exact file and line, so a small team can move quickly without quality drifting. We stay vendor-neutral across OpenAI, Anthropic, and open-weight models, and we run Valkyrie, our own production layer, when a single interface to any model is the right call.

About Azumo

Azumo is a San Francisco based software development company that has been building intelligent applications since 2016. We provide nearshore AI engineering teams to organizations that need production AI faster than they can hire for it: as an embedded engineering team, as AI staff augmentation alongside an existing team, or as a full project build. Our engineers work from Latin America, aligned to United States time zones, and have delivered for Twitter, Meta, Discovery Channel, Omnicom, UnitedHealth, and CENTEGIX.

We hire for seniority and test for it before anyone joins a client team. We support engineers in going deep on the modern AI stack, and we give time back to open-source work, community teaching, and philanthropy.

The QA Engineer will be based remotely. Compensation commensurate with experience and candidate potential.
