Principal AI-Driven Test Automation Engineer - Remote

D-Matrix Corp.; Santa Clara (CA); Hybride; USD 140 000 - 210 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

d-Matrix is hiring a Principal Software Engineer to define and build AI-enabled automation across the software development lifecycle, from build and CI through testing and release. Our codebase spans a kernel compiler, firmware, device drivers, and an inference serving stack running on silicon we designed ourselves.

You will stay hands-on and ship the hardest pieces yourself, working alongside a Senior/Staff engineer in the same area while raising the bar for how the broader engineering

Qualifications

• Extensive production software engineering experience, with strong Python skills.
• Enough Rust and/or C++ experience to understand build flows and diagnose compiler errors.
• Experience shipping AI-enabled tools or automation that others relied on in production, beyond demos.
• Deep hands-on experience with LLM APIs, agent harnesses, tool integration, and context engineering.
• Experience designing evaluations for nondeterministic systems, showing that an automation helped without breaking something else.
• Sound judgment about when AI is the right tool, including examples of choosing not to use it.
• Strong fluency across the development lifecycle, including CI/CD, testing, and release processes.
• A track record of setting technical direction across teams that do not report to you.

Responsabilités

• Set the technical direction for AI-enabled workflow automation across build, CI, test, and release.
• Build the shared foundation, including the agent harness and tool integrations into GitLab, Jira, test results, logs, and observability data.
• Develop evaluation methodology to measure whether an automation saves time and preserves correctness.
• Define guardrails and standards for where AI acts autonomously, where it proposes and a human decides, and how every change stays auditable.
• Deliver the first Quality Engineering automations, including cross-layer failure attribution, failure clustering and defect deduplication, coverage-gap analysis, and release-readiness summaries.
• Raise the bar across engineering through shared patterns, design reviews, and mentoring.
• Determine when an agent, a deterministic tool with a narrow model step, or a simple script is the right solution, and teach that judgment to others.
