Subscript: Software Engineer - Test

Headquarters: United States URL: https://www.subscript.com The basics The stack: Node.js/Express, Typescript, React, Postgres, Clickhouse, MongoDB, Node.js/Express, Heroku The product: We're building agentic software for Finance and Operations teams to automate high-volume workflows across systems, from AP and AR to payroll, inventory, and reconciliations

See The way we work: This is a remote job - work anywhere you want, and in any timezone on earth (or outside earth, whatever)

We are an asynchronous team - we don't do scheduled meetings, and rely on each team member to pick their own schedule and to communicate clearly in writing and with recorded videos.

We operate completely autonomously - no one will tell you what to do, we'll just tell you the goals and you will figure out how to work towards them with the rest of the team

The role We’re looking for our first Software Engineer in Test who thinks about quality as a system, not a phase at the end of development

You’ll work closely with product and engineering to reduce overall bugginess in a fast-moving application where dozens of features and fixes ship daily

This is not a traditional QA role — you’ll help define what “good” looks like, build guardrails that scale, and make quality visible across the team

You won’t be reviewing and QA’ing every pull request, but instead, adding a layer of QA and creating Production monitoring tools to help fix + prevent issues from ever reaching our customers

What you'll do Review, test, and monitor correctness of features in a fast-moving product that ships to Production daily Create alerts that help us catch issues before they become issues Monitor AI workflow correctness, audit individual workflows to catch regressions Make sure tests consistently run super fast Maintain staging and test environments that are useful Design and evolve automated tests that meaningfully reduce risk, and help close gaps in test coverage Our interview process Our interview process is designed to focus on your skills as a software engineer, and your ability to communicate clearly

We're a fully asynchronous company, so that's how we will communicate in this interview process too

We'll ask you to work on ~60 minute coding challenge while recording a Loom (or other screen recording) video of yourself doing the exercise After reviewing the exercise, we'll ask you to work on a second ~60 minute coding challenge while recording a loom (or other screen recording) video

If the video interview above goes well, we'll want to learn a bit more about how you communicate in writing - we will ask you to contribute to a technical design document for a new feature, focusing on what system-level tests and monitoring should be built to accompany this feature Lastly, a short culture-fit interview with our co-founder Michelle

And finally, hopefully we'll send you an offer

And hopefully you'll accept! Requirements You're an excellent engineer (you write high quality tests and monitoring, you ship quickly) You think in terms of user impact and risk, not just test cases Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-changing environments Strong opinions about flaky tests (and how to eliminate them) You’ve owned quality for a product or system before You're a great communicator via writing, and via recorded videos

You're excited about working on a globally-distributed and diverse team, in an incredibly unique culture where autonomy, accountability, and ownership are equally as valued as your skillset

Benefits Unlimited vacation Completely flexible work schedule - work literally anytime (and anywhere) you want! Benefits appropriate to your location (health/dental/vision in the USA) Company wide retreats multiple times per year Like all start-ups we're scrappy, but not scrappy on compensation: Subscript is committed to paying our awesome team members at market-rate, including benefits
