Job summary

North Cloud is hiring a testing-focused engineer to own the end-to-end test framework and CI workflows. You will set the strategy for unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, and build tooling to help every team write and maintain tests for their features.

Initially, hands-on manual verification remains part of the role as we balance automation with exploratory testing. You’ll enable faster, safer releases across a hybrid/remote US setup.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as a software engineer focused on testing, test infrastructure, or developer productivity.
• Ability to write production-quality code in TypeScript and Python.
• Experience integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines.
• Judgment about what to test, at which level, and what not to test.
• Experience with manual and exploratory testing, and comfort doing it alongside automation.
• Pragmatic, informed use of AI coding tools, including for writing and maintaining tests.
• Clear communication, and the ability to raise the quality bar without slowing teams down.

Responsibilities

• Own North's end-to-end test framework and how it runs in CI.
• Set test strategy across unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, and keep the suite balanced and fast.
• Build tooling that makes it easy for every team to write and maintain tests for the features they own.
• Strengthen how we validate releases before they reach customers.
• Manually verify releases and high-risk changes where automated coverage doesn't reach yet, and use what you find to decide what to automate next.
• Help teams test data accuracy, not just whether the UI works.
• Find and fix flaky tests, turn recurring gaps into framework improvements, and track the health of the suite over time.
