We work with enterprises and fast-growing companies to implement AI strategy, workflow automation, and build custom software. Not as a vendor, but as a genuine partner with skin in the game.\nWe move at a pace most businesses have never experienced, and we hold ourselves to a standard most agencies can't match. We don't pitch solutions. We sit with our clients, understand where they're stuck, and build the systems that get them unstuck. Quickly and properly.\nThe work is the kind engineers actually want: agent-first platforms running national field operations at around 90% automation, electric vehicle operating systems for everything from cars to trucks and buses, AI making real operational decisions in regulated industries, and rescues of platforms other teams couldn't deliver. And for the right businesses we go further. We unlock them: we build new products we come up with together, and we bring in capital through equity or debt to fund the growth those initiatives create.\nOur founders have built energy flex markets, led transactions of billion-dollar businesses, and built software agencies that consistently deliver engineers in the top 3% globally. That pedigree shapes how we think, how we work, and what we expect from the people who join us.\nThe role\nOur platforms run real operations: field services coordinated nationally, energy assets dispatched in real time, AI agents making decisions inside regulated industries. When quality slips in systems like these, it isn't a cosmetic bug. It costs money, customers or compliance. That's the standard you'll be holding.\nYou'll own quality across multiple production platforms. Automation first: frameworks, pipelines and coverage that let a fast-moving team ship daily without holding their breath. And you'll take on one of the most interesting problems in QA right now: how do you test AI systems whose behaviour isn't deterministic? Simulation, historical replay, evaluation harnesses. If that question excites you, keep reading.\nWhat you will do\nBuild and own automated test frameworks: E2E (Playwright/Cypress or similar), API and integration suites\nWire quality gates into CI/CD so releases are boring, in the good way\nDesign testing approaches for AI and agentic features: simulation, replay against historical data, evaluation criteria\nRun performance and load testing on high-volume, real-time platforms\nDo sharp exploratory testing where automation can't reach, and write bug reports engineers thank you for\nOwn release quality across several client platforms and keep the team honest about it\nWhat you bring - Required\n4+ years in QA/test engineering with a strong automation focus\nReal coding ability in TypeScript or Python: you build frameworks, not just record scripts\nDeep API testing experience and comfort testing event-driven, integration-heavy systems\nExperience embedding automated testing into CI/CD pipelines\nRemote self-management: proactive communication, no chasing required\nStrongly preferred\nPerformance/load testing at scale (k6, Gatling, JMeter or similar)\nExperience testing data pipelines or time-series data quality\nExposure to testing AI/ML features or non-deterministic systems\nFlex market and energy systems experience is always a big bonus\nNice to have\nSecurity testing exposure\nMobile testing experience across iOS/Android\nWhy this role\nMost QA jobs are downstream of decisions someone else made. Here you'll define how a fast AI-first company does quality, on systems where it genuinely matters. Small team, no bureaucracy, and your frameworks become the standard everything ships through.\nWhat you get\nA competitive package that reflects the calibre we hire at\nAccess to every AI tool on the market (as long as it has passed security) with team support and budget to get you set up and moving fast\nHard, interesting problems: real AI in production, real scale, real consequences. Not demos and decks\nDirect access to some of the most experienced operators in the country\nA team that will stretch you, back you, and make you better\nThe interview process\nOur process is straightforward and moves fast: a short video interview (we know engineers hate this - the only people who don't hate it are in sales - but it's an important and necessary step, and if you can't push outside your comfort zone, you're not going to fit in here), then a technical deep-dive on real problems, not puzzles, then a final conversation with the founders. We move quickly for the right person.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4549,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T13:16:01Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.187,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":97,"expected_fill_days":19,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/10xlabs-qa-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/10xlabs-qa-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T09:21:22Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10451,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4418504},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4418504"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2F10xlabs-qa-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2F10xlabs-qa-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2F10xlabs-qa-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/10xlabs-qa-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2F10xlabs-qa-engineer"}]}
