About the role

In person 5 days/week in San Francisco, CA or New York, NY

We're hiring a Software Engineerto own developer productivity across our LangGraph Cloud/Platform and LangSmith products. You'll define the test strategy, build automation and tooling, and turn flaky, slow, or manual checks into fast, reliable, and observable pipelines. You'll work closely with Infra, Backend, and Frontend to ship with confidence across Kubernetes-based services, APIs, and UI flows-and you'll help pioneer quality practices specific to LLM applications (e.g., prompt regressions and evaluation suites). Own test strategy end-to-end

across APIs, services, UI, data, and infra (K8s/Terraform/Helm). Build and maintain automation : API/integration tests (Python/pytest), E2E/browser tests (Playwright), load/soak tests (k6), contract tests, and smoke checks for production. Stand up ephemeral test environments

in Kubernetes for PRs and release candidates; seed test data and run hermetic suites. Shift-left quality

in CI/CD (GitHub Actions): parallelization, caching, deterministic seeds, flake tracking, and quality gates. Observability for tests : rich failure artifacts (videos, logs, traces), Datadog dashboards, and actionable alerts. Performance & reliability : baseline SLIs/SLOs for critical paths; capacity tests and regression detection. Partner on incident workflows : reproduce issues, add focused regression tests, and improve runbooks/postmortems. Documentation : high-signal test plans, playbooks, and contributor guidelines for writing good tests. Example projects you might own A PR-ephemeral E2E harness that deploys a minimal LangSmith stack on Docker in CI and runs Playwright + API suites against seeded tenants. A k6 scenario that simulates multi-tenant traffic with queue/backpressure, surfacing p95/p99 latency regressions per release. A flake-budget system that auto-quarantines flaky tests, opens issues with artifacts, and tracks "time-to-deflake". How to be successful in this role

3+ years as QA/SDET/Software Engineer focused on

test automation

for distributed or cloud products. Strong hands-on experience with

Python

(pytest) and

TypeScript

API testing , mocking/stubbing, and data setup/teardown. Comfortable defining quality bars, authoring test plans, and driving cross-team execution. Bonus

Load/perf testing (k6),

observability

(Datadog, OpenTelemetry), and

property-based testing
