## Job description

## About Us

Are you ready to build the future of supply chain? At Gather AI, we’re not just creating software; we’re pioneering a new era of warehouse intelligence. We’ve developed a groundbreaking, vision-powered platform that uses autonomous drones and existing equipment to capture real-time data, completely digitizing workflows that have historically been manual and error-prone. This means facilities operate smarter, safer, and more efficiently, ultimately redefining “on-time, in full” delivery.

If you’re looking for an opportunity to contribute to truly transformative technology and make a significant impact in a vital industry, Gather AI is the place for you. We’re leading the charge in the rapidly evolving robotics industry, and we invite you to join us in reshaping the global supply chain, one intelligent warehouse at a time.

## About the Team

You’ll work most closely with the fullstack engineering team and their leads, collaborating regularly with the cloud engineering team on API and backend testing, and with the ML team for feature validation. Cross-departmentally, you’ll work with Product Management on acceptance criteria and release readiness, and with Customer Support on field-reported issues.

## About the Role

We are looking for a Senior QA Engineer to own the end-to-end test automation strategy for Gather AI’s fullstack platform. You will build and maintain Playwright-based E2E test suites, design API automation coverage, integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines, and develop a structured evaluation framework for LLM-powered features.

This is a greenfield opportunity to shape QA practices and tooling from the ground up at a production AI/robotics company — not a ticket-closing QA factory. Your work directly affects product quality for real customers.

## What You’ll Do

- Build and maintain Playwright-based E2E test automation suites covering critical user workflows, API validation, and edge case handling across web applications
- Design and implement a comprehensive API automation framework for backend services, including REST endpoint coverage and data validation
- Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) with reporting, failure alerting, and quality gates
- Develop a structured LLM tool evaluation framework — defining test methodologies, evaluation criteria, and repeatable benchmarks for AI/ML-powered features
- Identify and address gaps in test coverage, flaky tests, and QA technical debt; drive adoption of quality metrics (test coverage, defect escape rate, automation coverage)
- Collaborate with engineering leads, Product, and Customer Support to define release readiness criteria and prioritize regression coverage

## What You’ll Need

- 5–8+ years of QA/test engineering experience with a strong focus on automation
- Hands-on Playwright experience building and maintaining E2E test suites (TypeScript/JavaScript)
- API test automation expertise using tools such as Playwright API testing, Postman/Newman, or pytest
- CI/CD integration experience (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar) with test pipeline design and reporting
- BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field; solid functional testing fundamentals and strong analytical thinking

## Nice to Have

- Experience or aptitude for LLM/AI tool evaluation (prompt testing, output quality assessment, hallucination detection)
- Performance or load testing experience (k6, Locust, JMeter, or similar)
- Experience with database testing and data validation (SQL, data pipeline verification)
- Familiarity with Docker or containerized test environments

## About Gather AI

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Gather AI builds the Physical AI platform for logistics, using AI-powered vision on drones and material handling equipment to digitize warehouse operations in real time.
- **Entity Type**: Private – Series B ($74M total funding)
- **Headquarters**: Pittsburgh, United States
- **Founded**: 2017
- **Founders**: Sankalp Arora (CEO), Geetesh Dubey (Chief Systems Officer), Daniel Maturana (Chief ML Scientist)

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Logistics and warehouse management (Physical AI)
- Target customers: B2B, enterprise-scale logistics, manufacturing, retail, aerospace, automotive, and government – customers include GEODIS, NFI Industries, Barrett Distribution Centers, Axon, and dnata
- Mission: To give every facility in a network the same continuous picture of the floor, the intelligence to understand it, and the workflows to act on it – bringing the same intelligence to the physical world that exists in the digital one.

## Products & Services
- **Gather AI Prana Platform**: An end-to-end Physical AI platform with three layers:
  - **SEE**: AI-powered vision on forklift-mounted cameras (for moving items) and drones (for static inventory) that captures ten-plus structured data points per frame, achieving 99.9%+ inventory accuracy.
  - **THINK**: AI reasoning that investigates root cause across inventory, labor, and fulfillment, surfacing ranked, reasoned priorities before each shift.
  - **ACT**: Workflows that route decisions to the right person or system with pre-drafted tasks, closing the loop from capture to action.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: 2.5x year-over-year bookings growth (250% growth); total funding of $74M (including a $40M Series B raised in 2026); average time to ROI is 6 months.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Backed by Tribeca Venture (noted on LinkedIn); deployed with GEODIS, NFI Industries, Barrett Distribution Centers, Axon, dnata, and the U.S. Department of Classified Antiquities.
- **Growth Signals**: Doubled operational footprint in 2026; named to Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies list for 2026; employee headcount grew ~68% year over year to 80+ employees; expanded into government sector; active job postings increased 333% YoY.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Closed-loop Physical AI**: Combines vision (SEE), reasoning (THINK), and action (ACT) in one platform – a unique integration that turns real-time visual data into prioritized tasks and automated workflows.
- **Deep domain expertise**: Founded by Carnegie Mellon robotics PhDs; CTO Andrew Hoffman was a founding engineer at Kiva Systems (now Amazon Robotics); team has decades of warehouse automation experience.
- **Network-wide consistency**: The platform enforces the same standard across every facility, enabling fixes from one building to become playbooks for the whole network.
- **99.9%+ accuracy** down to the case level, maintained continuously, not just during audits.

## Strategic Focus
- Scale platform across multi-facility enterprise networks and new verticals (government, aerospace, automotive).
- Continue investing in AI/ML autonomy and computer vision to expand the “THINK” layer’s root-cause analysis and predictive capabilities.
- Enhance network-wide outcomes by replicating operational playbooks across customer sites.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Radical transparency, candor, accountability, speed, and a people-first approach. Decisions are made openly; everyone has a voice in shaping the company’s future.
- **Work model**: Fully remote or remote-flexible options available.
- **Benefits**: Competitive salary and equity, comprehensive medical/dental/vision, 401K, unlimited PTO, monthly wellness benefit, continuing education/tuition support, voluntary life insurance.
- **Engineering culture**: Opportunities to work on cutting-edge AI, ML, autonomy, computer vision, and robotics alongside former Amazon Robotics and CMU experts. Real customer impact at scale.
