About The Position

The QA Engineer will own quality across a wearable health-technology platform, tracing failures from wearable devices through mobile SDKs and applications to APIs and cloud services. This is a hands-on, player-coach role with influence over releases and the opportunity to shape the quality function. The engineer will reproduce difficult failures, investigate device and server logs, deliver fixes or clear engineering handoffs, build automated tests, and improve release reliability across hardware, mobile, and backend teams. The role tests real-world usage conditions, including overnight wear, workouts, low battery, weak signal, offline use, and operating-system updates. The technical environment includes Go, Swift, Kotlin, AWS/S3, Firebase Crashlytics, and Mixpanel; expertise in every tool is not required. The position is remote in the United States, with Austin preferred. Compensation is $130,000–$155,000 annual base, plus equity and benefits; final terms depend on experience, scope, and location.
