About The Position

We’re hiring a Quality & Reliability Engineer to level up how we test, release, and operate software at Dirac. You’ll work closely with our engineering team to drive end-to-end quality—improving test coverage, automation, observability, and incident response across our platform. This is a hands-on IC role with high leverage. You’ll reduce downtime, increase confidence in releases, and make everyone around you more effective—by embedding quality into the way we build, ship, and operate.

Requirements

• Experience with modern QA and testing practices, including unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
• Familiarity with test frameworks like Cypress, Jest, PyTest, Selenium, etc.
• Experience building or maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab, CircleCI, etc.).
• Experience with modern build and deployment tooling (e.g., Terraform, Docker, NixOS, CircleCI)
• Strong programming comfort in TypeScript, Python, or C++.
• Familiarity with gRPC, HTTP APIs, and scripting tools like Postman or curl.
• Systems thinker who sees how bugs ripple through code, infrastructure, and users.
• Strong communicator—can work across functions and translate messy problems into clean fixes.
• High agency and ownership—you don't just find problems, you fix them.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with release automation, staging hygiene, or canary/bake-in pipelines.
• Background in manufacturing, industrial systems, or related physical industries.
• Early-stage startup experience—comfortable with ambiguity and momentum.

Responsibilities

• Own Quality at Scale – Design and implement test plans, coverage strategies, and reliability workflows that improve release hygiene and catch issues early.
• Build Test & Release Infrastructure – Develop and maintain automated test frameworks and CI/CD pipelines that gate broken code and keep staging environments clean.
• Improve Observability & Debuggability – Strengthen logging, alerting, and monitoring to make failures fast and easy to diagnose.
• Act as a Reliability Partner – Work alongside software and DevOps engineers to reduce flakiness, prevent regressions, and keep BuildOS production-ready.
• Lead Postmortems & Incident Reviews – Help build a blameless culture of learning, where quality issues lead to structural improvements, not just quick fixes.
• Bridge Engineering & Customer Teams – Embed insights from support, QA, and the field directly into automated test cases and product workflows.

Benefits

• Health, Dental, Vision Insurance: Comprehensive coverage to ensure you and your family stay healthy.
• Generous Paid Time Off: Enjoy flexible, high-trust PTO and sick leave.
• Stock Options: Participate in our success with a generous stock option plan.
