Member Technical Staff - Quality Engineer

Pirros•Los Angeles, CA

About The Position

Pirros is building Intelligence for design production and reshaping how architecture and engineering firms manage design details and project knowledge. Pirros is an AI-powered project hub purpose-built for architects and engineers. Our platform helps AECO professionals - architects, engineers, contractors, and owners - streamline detail management, improve consistency, reduce errors, and accelerate project delivery. We’re building the system of record for design production in a $12T+ industry that has long been underserved by modern software and workflows. This is a highly experienced Senior QA Engineer role to help raise the quality bar across our product and engineering organization. This is not a traditional “test at the end” QA role. We’re looking for someone who can own quality across the full software development lifecycle, partner closely with engineering and product, build scalable testing processes, and help ensure we ship fast without sacrificing reliability. You’ll be responsible for designing and executing testing strategies across complex web applications, identifying risk before it reaches customers, improving automation coverage, and helping create a culture where quality is owned by the entire team.

Requirements

Strong experience testing full-stack web applications, including frontend, backend, APIs, data flows, integrations, and infrastructure-related behavior
Deep understanding of QA methodologies, test planning, regression testing, exploratory testing, automation strategy, and release management
Strong understanding of JavaScript / TypeScript-based applications and modern frontend frameworks such as React
Experience testing APIs, backend services, authentication flows, permissions, data integrity, and complex user workflows
Ability to read code, review logs, inspect network activity, use browser developer tools, and work closely with engineers to isolate issues
Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines and how automated tests fit into modern development workflows
Ability to operate independently, prioritize risk, and take ownership with minimal oversight

Nice To Haves

You think like a customer, not just a tester and catch issues before they become customer problems
You take ownership of quality across the entire development lifecycle
You can work in ambiguity and bring structure where processes are still evolving
You are comfortable challenging assumptions and asking the right questions early
You care deeply about building a product that is reliable, intuitive, scalable, and trusted by customers

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain a comprehensive QA strategy
Own testing for features end-to-end, from requirements review and test planning through release validation and post-production monitoring
Develop and maintain automated test coverage across frontend, backend, API, integration, regression, and end-to-end workflows
Create clear, scalable test plans and test cases for complex product features and customer workflows
Partner closely with engineering, product, design, and customer-facing teams to identify edge cases, risks, and quality gaps early in the development process
Perform hands-on manual and exploratory testing where needed, especially for complex or high-risk releases
Debug, reproduce, document, and help drive resolution of complex issues across the application stack
Improve release quality, production stability, and customer experience through better QA processes, tooling, and standards
Help define quality metrics, bug severity standards, release readiness criteria, and regression testing processes
Continuously raise the engineering bar through thoughtful feedback, strong documentation, and partnership with developers during code reviews, feature reviews, and technical discussions
