Quality & Reliability Engineer

About the Company:
American manufacturing is broken and burdened by inefficiency, bureaucracy, and outdated processes. At Dirac, we are pioneering Model-Based Manufacturing, where context-aware production planning informs design in real-time—eliminating the disconnect between engineering and manufacturing. Our platform automates what can be automated and captures tribal knowledge where automation falls short, creating a seamless system for building at scale. We're building the tools modern manufacturers need to move faster and build better, the pillars of a more abundant future. We are a mission-driven company of world-class engineers and operators with a culture of high trust, high agency, and high autonomy.

What You’ll Do
Design and implement test plans, coverage strategies, and reliability workflows that improve release hygiene and catch issues early.
Develop and maintain automated test frameworks and CI/CD pipelines that gate broken code and keep staging environments clean.
Strengthen logging, alerting, and monitoring to make failures fast and easy to diagnose.
Work alongside software and DevOps engineers to reduce flakiness, prevent regressions, and keep BuildOS production-ready.
Help build a blameless culture of learning, where quality issues lead to structural improvements, not just quick fixes.
Embed insights from support, QA, and the field directly into automated test cases and product workflows.

What You Bring
Experience with modern QA and testing practices, including unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
Familiarity with test frameworks like Cypress, Jest, PyTest, Selenium, etc.
Experience building or maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab, CircleCI, etc.).
Experience with modern build and deployment tooling (e.g., Terraform, Docker, NixOS, CircleCI)
Strong programming comfort in TypeScript, Python, or C++.
Familiarity with gRPC, HTTP APIs, and scripting tools like Postman or curl.
Systems thinker who sees how bugs ripple through code, infrastructure, and users.
Strong communicator—can work across functions and translate messy problems into clean fixes.
High agency and ownership—you don't just find problems, you fix them.

Nice To Have
Experience with release automation, staging hygiene, or canary/bake-in pipelines.
Background in manufacturing, industrial systems, or related physical industries.
Early-stage startup experience—comfortable with ambiguity and momentum.
