FULL-TIME, WASHINGTON, D.C.

About the job 

Throne aims to provide peace of mind to those that venture out each day -- making it so no one has to worry about finding a clean bathroom again. We leverage custom hardware with a cloud connected IOT suite, user facing App, and underutilized urban spaces to provide convenient access to a network of ultra-clean, smart, modular bathrooms. 

Throne Labs is looking for a Software Quality Assurance Engineer to be a crucial member of Throne’s Software and R&D Engineering Teams. Thrones are proprietary technology which include mechanical components, smart plumbing, smart HVAC, various sensors, actuators, and on-board processing systems, cellular connectivity and a solar/battery driven power system. Software QA Engineer will be contributing into establishing QA/QC processes, improving time-to-market and maintaining high quality of our custom firmware and software solutions for internal Staff, and external Users and Partners.

You’ll work closely with Throne’s extended team, consisting of start-up veterans, creative innovators, and portable sanitation experts. We are passionate about defining Throne as the reliably clean option at some of life’s most stressful moments. We are ruthless about results, relentless about improvement, and we value diversity, inclusion, and having fun. 

At Throne You Will:

  • Work closely with the product and engineering teams to understand and collect business requirements
  • Conduct manual testing of firmware and software to ensure products and features perform according to the requirements and contribute to a lovable user experience
  • Perform integration testing of hardware/firmware/software components and communicate issues to the relevant teams, ensuring seamless collaboration across departments
  • Investigate logs, identify and localize issues on production and QA environments
  • Contribute to technical and testing documentation creation and maintenance

We Are Looking For:

  • Solid knowledge in software quality assurance with minimum 3 years of relevant commercial experience.
  • Experience with mobile, web front-end and back-end testing (API, database testing).
  • Understanding of cloud-based architecture and hands-on experience with AWS tools and services (e.g. Lambda, CloudWatch).
  • Understanding of specifics of micro-services and serverless architecture.
  • Willingness to work in a startup lab environment in an active R&D phase.
  • Tolerance to changing requirements and priorities, and context switching between different products.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with on-site and remote teams, and explain technical concepts and issues to less tech savvy colleagues.
  • Proactiveness in giving feedback and improving existing processes.
  • Experience with testing of IoT and hardware products is a plus.
  • Experience with test automation (JavaScript or TypeScript) is a plus.


What We Offer:

This is a unique chance to join a dynamic team, work closely with the company's founders, and shape the future of bathrooms. 

This role comes with a competitive compensation package made up of a competitive salary, equity ownership opportunities, and comprehensive benefits.


Throne is committed to pursuing and hiring a diverse workforce. We believe that every person has a right to equal employment opportunities without discrimination and that diversity contributes to the overall health of the organization. Women, veterans, and candidates from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.
