[Hiring] QA Engineer @Alchemy Cloud Inc.

Role Description

Scientists spend a staggering amount of time wrangling data instead of running experiments. We build the AI-native platform that changes that: the system of record and the intelligence layer for R&D labs formulating everything from next-gen batteries to sustainable materials to alternative proteins. Our software doesn't just store lab data, it designs experiments, recommends formulations, surfaces insights, and automates the busywork that stands between a researcher and their next discovery.

As a QA Engineer at Alchemy, you own the quality of a configurable platform that specialty chemicals companies run their R&D and manufacturing on, and you do it with AI as part of your toolkit, not as a side experiment.

That means:

• Writing and maintaining automated coverage.
• Using AI coding assistants to generate and extend tests.
• Building agentic testing workflows: agents that explore the product, exercise customer configurations, and surface regressions without a human scripting every path.
• Deciding where an agent is trustworthy, where it is not, and what evidence is needed before a release goes out.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of professional experience in software quality assurance, covering test design and execution, systems analysis, and modern development tooling.
• Hands-on experience with test automation: you have built and maintained automated suites, not only executed manual test plans.
• Practical experience using AI tools in your work (coding assistants, LLM-based test generation, or agentic workflows), and a clear view of where they help and where they mislead.
• Strong technical background: you write scripts and build small tools to move faster, and you are comfortable reading logs and querying a database to investigate a reported problem.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Jenkins) and how automated tests fit into them.
• University degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related subject, or equivalent practical experience.
• Domain background in chemistry, materials science, or manufacturing software.
• Excellent English, written and spoken.

Requirements

• Experience building or operating agentic testing systems, or evaluating non-deterministic output.
• Experience working with laboratory software such as ELN, LIMS and SDMS.
• Performance or load testing experience.
• Experience with configurable or multi-tenant enterprise platforms, where every customer's setup differs.

How you work

• Creativity and a self-starting willingness to explore new technologies, including the ones that change how your own job works.
• Judgment about when to trust a tool and when to verify it yourself.
• Tenacity, technical expertise, and the ability to contribute quickly.
• Pride in your work, through attention to detail and ownership of outcomes.
• Passion for code quality and great design.

Benefits

• Work From Home
• Training & Development
