Avy aims to empower humans to work more efficiently and effectively with each other and with technology in knowledge work positions by creating software that acts as a companion, helping users level up at work in a trusted, secure way. The company is building a product that combines desktop, mobile, and cloud components with deep integration of machine learning and AI, requiring novel approaches to ensure quality and trustworthiness.
Requirements
- Proven experience in software engineering and in testing (7+ years), both for native applications (desktop and/or mobile) and server components
- Multi language proficiency at least one statically typed language
- Prior experience at a startup or small, high-velocity team—ideally where you helped launch a complex product
- Comfort working in complex systems in which requirements and goals might be ill-defined or change rapidly as the company learns
- Experience with machine learning and AI models, either on device or in the cloud, is desired but not required
Responsibilities
- Define and own our testing and quality measurement and assurance strategy across platforms
- Build our test automation infrastructure to support reliable deployment across multiple platforms and operating systems, at scale
- Establish processes that balance fast iteration and product evolution with high confidence in releases, evolving from today’s needs to what will be required at scale
- Be deeply hands-on, understanding product requirements, writing test cases, and manually testing as needed until you automate testing of new requirements
- Design for AI-driven variability, developing approaches to evaluate nondeterministic outputs and ensuring product behavior remains trustworthy and user-aligned
- Ensure performance and resource discipline, especially around on-device AI models that demand careful management of CPU, memory, and responsiveness
- Get creative with test data, including using AI to generate high-quality synthetic inputs for stress, scale, edge-case testing, and other business uses
Other
- We cannot sponsor visas at this time
- This is a hybrid role in San Francisco (3+ days/week in office). You will be collaborating with others in the office and distributed across the U.S.
- Relocation assistance may be available for the right candidate
