The basics

• The stack: Node.js/Express, Typescript, React, Postgres, Clickhouse, MongoDB, Node.js/Express, Heroku
• The product: We’re building agentic software for Finance and Operations teams to automate high-volume workflows across systems, from AP and AR to payroll, inventory, and reconciliations. See 
• The way we work:

• This is a remote job – work anywhere you want, and in any timezone on earth (or outside earth, whatever).
• We are an asynchronous team – we don’t do scheduled meetings, and rely on each team member to pick their own schedule and to communicate clearly in writing and with recorded videos. .

The role

• We’re looking for our first Software Engineer in Test who thinks about quality as a system, not a phase at the end of development.
• You’ll work closely with product and engineering to reduce overall bugginess in a fast-moving application where dozens of features and fixes ship daily.
• This is not a traditional QA role — you’ll help define what “good” looks like, build guardrails that scale, and make quality visible across the team. You won’t be reviewing and QA’ing every pull request, but instead, adding a layer of QA and creating Production monitoring tools to help fix + prevent issues from ever reaching our customers.

What you’ll do

• Review, test, and monitor correctness of features in a fast-moving product that ships to Production daily
• Create alerts that help us catch issues before they become issues
• Monitor AI workflow correctness, audit individual workflows to catch regressions
• Make sure tests consistently run super fast
• Maintain staging and test environments that are useful
• Design and evolve automated tests that meaningfully reduce risk, and help close gaps in test coverage

Our interview process

Our interview process is designed to focus on your skills as a software engineer, and your ability to communicate clearly. We’re a fully asynchronous company, so that’s how we will communicate in this interview process too .

1. We’ll ask you to work on ~60 minute coding challenge while recording a Loom (or other screen recording) video of yourself doing the exercise
2. After reviewing the exercise, we’ll ask you to work on a second ~60 minute coding challenge while recording a loom (or other screen recording) video.
3. If the video interview above goes well, we’ll want to learn a bit more about how you communicate in writing – we will ask you to contribute to a technical design document for a new feature, focusing on what system-level tests and monitoring should be built to accompany this feature
4. Lastly, a short culture-fit interview with our co-founder Michelle.

And finally, hopefully we’ll send you an offer. And hopefully you’ll accept!

• You’re an excellent engineer (you write high quality tests and monitoring, you ship quickly)
• You think in terms of user impact and risk, not just test cases
• Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-changing environments
• Strong opinions about flaky tests (and how to eliminate them)
• You’ve owned quality for a product or system before
• You’re a great communicator via writing, and via recorded videos.
• You’re excited about working on a globally-distributed and diverse team, in an incredibly unique culture where autonomy, accountability, and ownership are equally as valued as your skillset.

• Unlimited vacation
• Completely flexible work schedule – work literally anytime (and anywhere) you want!
• Benefits appropriate to your location (health/dental/vision in the USA)
• Company wide retreats multiple times per year
• Like all start-ups we’re scrappy, but not scrappy on compensation: Subscript is committed to paying our awesome team members at market-rate, including benefits.
