## Job description

## About the Role

Auger's software makes decisions and writes them back into the systems that run our customers' supply chains, so quality is part of the product, not a final checkpoint. As an SDET, you will own quality and test automation across the Auger platform, so our engineers can ship with confidence. We’re looking for a Quality Assurance Engineer who’s passionate about ensuring world-class reliability and performance. You’ll work alongside engineering and product teams to design and implement automated test systems, improve CI/CD processes, and uphold the highest standards of quality across our products.

## What You'll Do

- Build and maintain automated test suites (unit, integration, end-to-end, and regression) for Auger's platform, APIs, and user interface.
- Test data-driven and AI-powered systems: validate pipeline outputs, check data quality and contracts between layers, and confirm that AI-generated recommendations and write-backs behave correctly.
- Embed quality in CI/CD so that every change is tested automatically before it reaches customers.
- Design test plans for customer deployments, including internal dogfooding, Auger testing, and joint testing with customer teams before go-live.
- Test integrations and write-backs to customer systems with attention to correctness, idempotency, error handling, and auditability.
- Diagnose, reproduce, and track issues to resolution using tools such as Jira or GitHub Issues, and find root causes, not only symptoms.
- Partner with developers in design and code reviews to make systems testable and maintainable.
- Use AI-assisted development tools responsibly to write and extend tests faster, and review and validate generated code before it ships.
- Be a quality advocate who influences how we build, deploy, and monitor software across environments.

## What You Bring

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience in QA, test automation, or software development.
- Programming skill in at least one language such as Python, Java, TypeScript, or JavaScript.
- A strong understanding of software testing methods, including unit, integration, system, and acceptance testing.
- Experience with at least one test framework, such as PyTest, JUnit, Jest, Cypress, Playwright, or Selenium, from work, school, or personal projects.
- A solid understanding of algorithms, data structures, and how distributed systems fail.
- Ability to work in person from our Bellevue headquarters, and to participate in on-call rotations.
- Experience with CI/CD systems (such as GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or Jenkins), cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP), or API, performance, or security testing is a plus.
- Experience testing data pipelines or AI-powered features, or knowledge of supply chain systems such as ERP, WMS, or TMS, is a plus.

## About Auger

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Auger is building the world’s first autonomous operating system for supply chain operations, collapsing the gap between signal and execution with AI-powered automation.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Bellevue, Washington, USA
- **Founded**: 2024
- **Founders**: Dave Clark (Founder & CEO), Leigh Anne Clark (Co-Founder and President, Fashion and Beauty)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Supply Chain Technology, Enterprise AI, Logistics Software
- **Target customers**: B2B, Enterprise (large-scale supply chain operators, retailers, manufacturers, logistics providers)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "To eliminate the Coordination Tax that traps enterprises in manual silos and fragmented systems. To make superhuman operations available to every enterprise ready to lead."

## Products & Services
- **The Autonomous Operating System**: A unified AI-powered platform that integrates with existing enterprise systems to provide real-time intelligence, cross-system synchronization, and autonomous execution of routine supply chain tasks (demand shifts, lead time management, capacity planning, scheduling). The system turns messy data into executable truth, allowing operators to move from firefighting to strategic work.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric – Total Funding**: $400M across three rounds (Seed, Series A, Series A extension)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Oak HC/FT (lead investor in initial $100M Series A)
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Headcount grew **223.9% YoY** (from ~26 to 129 employees)
  - LinkedIn follower count grew **74.5% YoY** (currently 12,855)
  - Active job postings: 17 (up 88.9% YoY)
  - Major talent pipeline from Amazon (26 hires), Microsoft (9), AWS (7), Meta (4)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Founder pedigree**: Led by Dave Clark, former CEO of Amazon’s worldwide consumer business — deep operational credibility at global scale.
- **"Living Ontology" approach**: Not layering AI on top of broken legacy systems, but building a unified data fabric across the entire enterprise.
- **Consumer-grade UX**: Makes complex supply chain tasks accessible through simple, intuitive interfaces (e.g., natural language queries for inventory insights).
- **Team composition**: 53% of employees in technical roles; includes a Chief AI and Agentic Scientist, Chief Supply Chain Scientist, and Chief AI Economist — rare depth of domain AI expertise.

## Strategic Focus
- **Autonomous execution**: Replacing the "speed of consensus" (manual coordination, meetings, spreadsheets) with real-time, automated reflexes.
- **Sustainability**: Positioning autonomous execution as the architecture for sustainable scaling — reducing excess inventory, expedited shipments, and waste.
- **Expanding beyond supply chain**: The company states it will expand "wherever coordination breaks down," suggesting a platform play across adjacent operational domains.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture highlights**: Described as a "pioneering venture" with a human-centered approach to solving broken supply chains. The team is composed of operators who "have lived the consequences" — late nights, impossible trade-offs — and are building to eliminate that pain for others.
- **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: In-office roles (e.g., Strategic BDR listed as "In-Office"). HQ in Bellevue, WA, with additional offices in Clyde Hill, WA and Bellevue, WA.
- **Notable perks or engineering culture**: Heavy investment in deep technical talent (AI, data science, supply chain science). Emphasis on moving from "firefighting to reinvention." Backed by top-tier VC with substantial runway ($400M total funding). Strong pipeline of ex-Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta engineers.
