We're adding a Software Engineer I - AI Generalist to our Quality Engineering team to use AI to raise our overall quality posture and then flex across the engineering org wherever the leverage is highest. This is a rare entry point: you'll get exposure across testing, tooling, and product engineering, and use what you learn to shape where your career goes next. After a successful first year, you will have * Stood up AI-assisted testing that measurably improved coverage or cycle time on workflows that used to be manual-only. * Built at least one AI harness or tool that the QE or broader engineering teams actually adopted into their daily work. * Shipped real code across more than one part of the stack, embedded with an engineering squad and trusted by it. * Developed a clear sense of the domains that energize you - grounding a concrete conversation about your next step. What you'll do * Use AI tools and agents to accelerate test creation, execution, and triage across Zello's clients and services. * Do targeted manual testing where it matters, and turn repetitive manual checks into durable automation. * Build small tools and AI harnesses that make the whole engineering org faster. * Rotate into engineering squads (iOS, Android, Web, backend) to contribute code with agent assistance. * Find quality gaps before they ship, and propose the fix rather than just filing the bug. * Communicate clearly and concisely with a distributed team, surfacing blockers early. ## Related Videos - [Kotlin Multiplatform - True power of native code reuse](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/4-kotlin-multiplatform-true-power-of-native-code-reuse) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Edit Your Future: Queerverse Radical AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/909-edit-your-future-queerverse-radical-ai) - [Hiring AI Native Talents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100268-hiring-ai-native-talents) - [Why Kotlin is the better Java and how you can start using it](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/661-why-kotlin-is-the-better-java-and-how-you-can-start-using-it) - [You are not an AI developer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1148-you-are-not-an-ai-developer) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai) - [The State of WebDev AI 2025 Results: What Can We Learn?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/581-the-state-of-webdev-ai-2025-results-what-can-we-learn) - [Transforming Software Development: The Role of AI and Developer Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/527-transforming-software-development-the-role-of-ai-and-developer-tools) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development)
