Detect deepfakes in audio, video, and images. Identify AI callers and add detection to live calls, meetings, and applications. Backed by Y Combinator and AI Grant.
About the role
Our customers rely on Reality Defender to make high-stakes calls in real time — whether the voice on a bank's phone line or the face in a job interview is real. As a Quality Assurance Engineer, you'll make sure what we ship holds up to that standard, testing our APIs, SDKs, web app, and real-time integrations, and building the automation that lets us release faster without breaking things. This is a full-time role based at our NYC headquarters or remote within the U.S., reporting to Quality Assurance Lead. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 3+ years of experience in software QA or quality engineering, testing web applications and APIs in a fast-moving release environment
- Hands-on experience writing automated tests in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar, using frameworks such as Pytest, Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium
- Experience testing REST APIs (e.g., Postman or code-based API tests) and working within CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions)
- Strong attention to detail and a systematic approach to finding edge cases — you think about how things break, not just whether they work
- Clear written communication: your bug reports and test plans are easy for engineers to act on
- Experience testing audio, video, or real-time communication products (WebRTC, telephony, conferencing). (nice to have)
