About the role

You'll join our Pipeline team, which builds and improves the systems that let Wizard develop, test, ship, and scale. You'll work with Charles Harris III and our engineering team to extend Athanor, our agent-driven desktop testing system. You'll build coverage around real projects, investigate failures, and make the evidence useful to the people fixing them. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Experience testing video, media, graphics, games, or another application where timing and output correctness matter
  • Strong automation skills in Python or C++, with experience integrating tests into CI
  • Debugging depth: you can narrow a failure to a codec, GPU path, timeline operation, fixture, or environment
  • Experience qualifying desktop releases and making clear recommendations from incomplete or conflicting evidence
  • An eye and ear for media problems, and the judgment to choose useful automated comparisons
  • The ability to explain what failed, what the evidence proves, and what should happen next
More about this role

Wizard is built alongside working editors at Story. They use it on real projects with real deadlines, and our paid beta brings that responsibility to outside studios. Every combination of media, effects, timeline operations, and agent actions is something we have to verify.

Professional editors need dependable software. We're hiring a senior engineer to own quality engineering and release qualification, helping us find problems earlier and keep repaired behavior covered as the product changes.
