Description

AgileEngine is an Inc. 5000 company that creates award-winning software for Fortune 500 brands and trailblazing startups across 17+ industries. We rank among the leaders in areas like application development and AI/ML, and our people-first culture has earned us multiple Best Place to Work awards. WHY JOIN US If you're looking for a place to grow, make an impact, and work with people who care, we'd love to meet you! ABOUT THE ROLE As a QA/SDET Engineer, you’ll take ownership of building and driving a modern testing culture from the ground up. This role goes beyond traditional QA — you’ll design and evolve automated testing frameworks, guide developers in adopting a shift-left approach, and ensure quality is integrated throughout the entire development lifecycle. By combining your Python expertise with a passion for testing excellence, you’ll play a key role in delivering reliable, scalable software that makes an impact. WHAT YOU WILL DO - Become the first QA/SDET in the team and define how we approach testing; - Drive the testing infrastructure and ensure high-quality standards across our product; - Mentor and support developers to take ownership of their own testing; - Collaborate closely with engineers to co-own and write automated tests (unit, integration, end-to-end, performance); - Promote a “shift-left” QA mindset, embedding testing throughout the development process rather than leaving it as a final stage; - Continuously improve our testing practices, tools, and processes to increase efficiency and reliability. MUST HAVES - 4+ years of experience as a Python engineer building production systems; - Proven track record in designing and implementing automated testing frameworks (unit, integration, end-to-end, and performance/load testing); - Product-focused mindset with curiosity about the bigger picture; - Proactive, takes ownership, and responsible for outcomes; - Bias for action: able to quickly test, iterate, and make decisions without getting stuck; - Ability to thrive in a fully remote, collaborative environment with honesty and radical candor; - Full overlap with Central European Time or at least 6+ hours; - Upper-Intermediate English level. NICE TO HAVES - Experience with Python web frameworks (Django, FastAPI); - Frontend testing or front-end framework experience (Vue.js, React); - Early-stage startup experience; - Experience building with LLMs or agentic AI systems; - Leadership experience; - Scrappy mindset: focus on delivering business value over unnecessary perfection. PERKS AND BENEFITS - Professional growth: Accelerate your professional journey with mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps. - Competitive compensation: We match your ever-growing skills, talent, and contributions with competitive USD-based compensation and budgets for education, fitness, and team activities. - A selection of exciting projects: Join projects with modern solutions development and top-tier clients that include Fortune 500 enterprises and leading product brands. - Flextime: Tailor your schedule for an optimal work-life balance, by having the options of working from home and going to the office – whatever makes you the happiest and most productive.
