Staff Automation QA Engineer

At LucidLink, you'll be a part of a world-class team of engineers, creatives, thinkers, and storytellers, empowering remote teams to connect in new ways to produce high-quality video, audio, media, and design projects. You'll have the opportunity to learn and advance while working with various applications and technologies on the three major operating systems and regularly confronting complex situations requiring critical thinking and attention to detail. Quality and reliability of a filesystem constitute vastly different problems than ensuring the same virtues of web or regular applications. You will be constantly challenged to think about low-level I/O, networking, operating systems, user application behavior, and interoperability. Your mission will be to lead LucidLink's shift from manual, reactive QA to a strategic, automation-first model. Close the gap in an automation infrastructure that today covers only happy-path scenarios, and provide technical governance across authentication, file systems, SDKs, and back-end infrastructure — the areas most critical to platform reliability. Build the standards, tooling, and practices that let LucidLink deploy faster and ship changes to its distributed system with higher confidence.
