We're now building am:pm - an agentic AI product for commercial real estate operators.\nProperty managers run their portfolios on a system of record like Re-Leased, but most of the actual work happens outside it - emails, phone calls, follow-ups, to-do lists scattered across tools, with no system behind them. am:pm is the system of action for that work: it captures the work to be done as jobs and tasks, grounded in the communication channels, memories, and documents that surround the portfolio - so the work itself finally has a home. You can read more at ampm.ai.\nam:pm is in early access with customers right now. The squad is small, the stack is new, and we're moving fast.\nYour Role\nWe're looking for a senior quality automation engineer to own the quality system for am:pm - based in Napier or remote from another city in New Zealand. The whole squad owns quality; you build the automation, quality controls, and practices that make that possible. This is an automation-led role: engineers write unit and integration tests, and you shape where automated coverage sits across the test pyramid and steward the end-to-end suite, with AI as a core part of how you work - generating tests, triaging failures, creating test data. We're also moving to continuous delivery, and a core part of this role is making that safe - the right level of automated quality controls so changes flow to production with confidence.\nAnd because am:pm is an AI product, quality means testing agentic behaviour: non-deterministic outputs, tool use, statistical rather than binary correctness. Engineers write the evals - just as they write unit and integration tests - and you bring the quality lens: when evals are the right control, and what they need to catch.\nThis is a small-team, start-up environment inside an established SaaS business - less process, more agency, and a tight feedback loop with real customers.\nYour Responsibilities\nDrive quality automation across the test pyramid - set where coverage sits so tests run at the layer that's cheapest and most reliable - and steward the end-to-end suite: curate what earns a place in it, and set the standards engineers follow when contributing tests of their own\n\nSupport our move to continuous delivery - design the right level of automated quality controls (pipeline gates, smoke checks, release signals) so we can release frequently without slowing the flow of change\n\nUse AI tooling as a first-class part of your workflow - test generation, bug triage, test data creation - and keep raising the bar on how the team uses it\n\nCurate AI-generated tests and findings - decide what to keep, reject, or refine, applying your own testing judgment rather than accepting output wholesale\n\nShape how we test AI-powered features - advise on when evals are the right quality control and what they should cover, and contribute adversarial and edge-case scenarios; engineers write and own the evals themselves\n\nPartner with engineers on acceptance criteria and coach them on designing test scenarios from a user's perspective - positive paths, negative paths, edge cases\n\nRun exploratory and risk-based testing to find what automation misses, and feed production bugs back into automation at the layer that would have caught them\n\nAnalyse quality workflows - triage, release, escape defects - and drive structural improvements, reporting on quality signals so the squad always knows where quality stands\n\nYour Experience\n5+ years of QA experience in a SaaS product environment, with automation at the centre of how you work\n\nTrack record of designing test automation frameworks from the ground up - architecture, tooling choices, conventions - and building the JavaScript/TypeScript end-to-end suites (e.g. Playwright, Cypress) that run on them\n\nComfortable working in a production codebase - Git, branches, PRs, code review - and able to read code well enough to locate and understand the surface under test\n\nCI/CD fluent - you understand what runs when and where tests fit, with a clear point of view on the quality controls that make continuous delivery safe: pipeline gates, smoke checks, rollback signals\n\nActively using AI tools in your workflow today - and opinions on where they're strong and where they aren't\n\nGenuine interest in testing AI products: you've thought about (or worked on) how to test non-deterministic systems, and evals excite you rather than scare you\n\nStrong exploratory testing instincts and sound test-pyramid judgment - you find the bugs automation can't, and you know where automation investment pays off and where it doesn't\n\nComfortable with ambiguity, change, and making calls with incomplete information - you're drawn to small teams and early-stage product work\n\nA genuine focus on the customer outcome, not just the test count\n\nBonus\nExperience with LLM eval frameworks - golden datasets, judge models, statistical thresholds\n\nExperience with adversarial testing of AI systems - prompt injection, jailbreaks, hostile inputs\n\nAPI testing chops (REST), performance or accessibility testing experience\n\nPrior start-up or zero-to-one product experience\n\nOur Stack & How We Work\nam:pm is built on .NET 8, Vue 3, SQL Server and a growing set of AI services on Microsoft Azure. The squad manages its own DevOps - Terraform for IaC, Azure DevOps for pipelines. We've woven AI tooling deeply into how we work; if you're excited by the idea of testing AI-native software and using AI to test it, you'll fit right in.\nOur culture is very important to us too, and we strongly believe in living out our core values: \nPeople First: One team globally; our people and customers always come first. \nFind a Way: Like a river, we find a way around all obstacles \nWin or Learn: Our journey for improvement never ends; enjoy the ride! \nAim High: We dare to set big goals and love the challenge of achieving them against the odds. \nWhy you’ll love working here!\nTaking care of you: Including comprehensive health insurance, access to a premium EAP service and an annual wellness allowance to spend on what helps you feel good - whether that’s towards a gym membership, new running shoes, or mindfulness apps. \nSupport for families: Generous paid parental leave and flexible, family-friendly support designed to help growing families balance work and life with confidence. \nRecognition for tenure and milestones: We celebrate time, commitment, and contribution with milestone rewards and additional leave as you grow your career with us. \nFlexible working, built for a global team: With customers and teammates across New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, and North America, we work in a hybrid, remote-friendly way with collaborative offices and the flexibility of a balanced approach to WFH/i-office work. \nReady to Level Up?
