Software Engineer - Test - in Columbus

Headquarters: United States
URL: https://www.subscript.com

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.
• We operate completely autonomously - no one will tell you what to do, we'll just tell you the goals and you will figure out how to work towards them with the rest of the team.

The role

• We’re looking for our first Software Engineer in Test who thinks about equality 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 and 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 and 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 a ~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 goes well, we'll ask you to contribute to a technical design document for a new feature, focusing on what system-level tests and monitoring should be built
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!

Requirements

• 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 recorded videos
• You're excited about working on a globally distributed and diverse team in a culture where autonomy, accountability, and ownership are highly valued

Benefits

• Unlimited Vacation
• Completely Flexible Work Schedule - Work Literally Anytime (And Anywhere) You Want!
• Location-Appropriate Benefits
• Company Wide Retreats
• Market-Rate Compensation
