2 Upgrade Software Developer Jobs Hiring Near You

About the Role:

Our QA-Core team exists so every engineering team at Upgrade can test their software quickly and trust the result. We are seeking a Senior QA Automation Engineer on the team to architect and build test automation infrastructure, tooling, and agentic solutions to increase engineering productivity. This is not a traditional product QA role - it's a build role. You will work closely with our product teams to understand their automation requirements, design services from scratch, ship them to production clusters and own them.

This is a fully remote position open to candidates who are based in the US. 

Our Core Technologies Include:

Java, Python, Kubernetes, Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, TestNG, Maven, Git, Jenkins, ArgoCD, SQL, Grafana, SumoLogic, Docker, Gatling, Claude Code, MCP server 

What You'll Do: 

• Design and own automation framework for functional and performance testing.

• Build agents to automate existing QA/testing workflows and remove engineering friction.

• Build the applications and services that automation depends on, deploy them, and operate them in production environments.

• Take prototypes all the way. Build demos in a timely manner, gather feedback from the teams who'd use it, and iterate through successive versions until it's hardened, monitored, and running with matured quality.

• Identify gap areas in existing frameworks and tools, and iterate toward solutions that close them.

What We Look For:

• 5-7+ years building production software, with demonstrated depth across test infrastructure, test frameworks, and developer tooling, and working knowledge of platform engineering.

• Proven track record building agentic solutions and test automation frameworks from the ground up - designed, shipped, iterated on, and adopted as part of how other engineers work.

• Fluency with agentic coding tools as part of your daily workflow: ability to orchestrate multiple agents to execute, review agent-generated PRs.

• Hands-on experience with micro-services, Kubernetes and managing deployment lifecycle

• Ability to take an ambiguous problem statement to a scoped, defensible solution independently.

What We Offer You: 

• Competitive salary and stock option plan

• Paid coverage of medical, dental and vision insurance 

• Flexible PTO

• Opportunities for professional growth and development 

• Paid parental leave

• Health & wellness initiatives
