In a significant development for tech enthusiasts and job seekers alike, a pioneering startup is on the lookout for a dedicated Backend/Platform Engineer to become a vital member of its remote team. This innovative company is crafting an AI-native quality assurance (QA) solution that promises to reshape the landscape of digital product testing. As the firm gears up for its Series A funding round, this role offers a unique chance to influence a rapidly evolving product and collaborate with a dynamic team supported by Y Combinator, a prestigious startup accelerator known for nurturing groundbreaking companies.

About Us:

The startup, which is in its Seed Stage, was founded by industry veterans with over 15 years of experience in consumer and mobile application development. The company has launched its flagship product, GPT Driver, an AI-driven solution aimed at enhancing the testing of digital products, with a particular focus on functional end-to-end automation for mobile applications. As the demand for effective testing tools grows, the founders recognize that many existing solutions fall short, particularly in the mobile space.

The vision behind GPT Driver is not only to improve mobile app testing but also to expand its functionalities to encompass web and desktop applications, and to venture into non-functional testing areas such as performance optimization and accessibility evaluations. Since its launch in early 2023, the company has already partnered with top-tier mobile teams, including renowned names like Duolingo, Salesforce, and Groupon, thereby establishing itself as a first mover in this competitive sector.

About the Role:

As a Backend/Platform Engineer, you will play a crucial role in owning and developing the platform layer of our AI-enhanced product. This includes working on runtimes and backend systems that support the overall functionality of the solution. You will be collaborating closely with a compact team of frontend and fullstack AI engineers, focusing on defining, implementing, and scaling our systems to meet the growing demands of our user base.

We are looking for a generalist who enjoys tackling challenges across the technology stack and is eager to explore new solutions. Your contributions will directly impact the success of our platform and the satisfaction of our clientele.

What Were Looking For:

  • Minimum of 3 years of relevant engineering experience, preferably with exposure to the fast-paced environment of startups.
  • A strong background in building and maintaining cloud-based backend systems.
  • Experience with running mobile emulators and headless browsers, especially in isolated environments, is a plus.
  • Self-motivated individuals who are comfortable working in a fully remote setup will thrive in our culture.
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset are essential for success.

What We Offer: The startup prides itself on creating a supportive and innovative work environment that fosters creativity and growth. Details regarding compensation and benefits will be discussed during the interview process, ensuring that we attract top talent in the competitive tech landscape.
