Blitzy is an autonomous enterprise software development platform that autonomously completes months of software development and understands large-scale enterprise codebases.
Automation Engineer About Blitzy Blitzy is a Cambridge, MA based AI software development platform on a mission to revolutionize the software development life cycle by autonomously building custom software to unlock the next industrial revolution. We're transforming how enterprises build software, turning enterprise requirements into production-ready code with an agentic software development platform that can autonomously execute 80% of the quantum of software development work. We're backed by multiple tier 1 investors, and have proven success as founders of previous start-ups. Location: Cambridge, MA (In-Person Role) Compensation: $90,000 - $145,000 + Equity The Role We are looking for an Automation Engineer to own, extend, and scale our automated testing frameworks that validate the runtime behavior of code generated by our AI platform. This role is critical in ensuring that our platform’s output performs correctly in production environments. You’ll work at the intersection of AI and quality assurance, expanding test coverage and improving the testing solutions that validate AI-generated applications during actual execution. What Success Looks Like - You expand and maintain automated testing frameworks that validate the runtime behavior and performance of AI-generated applications. - You develop intelligent test suites that automatically assess application functionality in production environments. - You extend existing testing frameworks to increase coverage and validate runtime behavior across multiple languages and frameworks. - You establish quality metrics and testing protocols that measure real-world performance of generated applications. - You build systems to automatically detect and flag runtime issues in deployed applications. - You collaborate with our AI team to improve the platform based on runtime performance data. - You implement automated integration and end-to-end testing that ensures generated applications work as intended in production. - You develop metrics and monitoring systems to track runtime performance across different customer deployments. Areas of Ownership - Own the evolution and expansion of our automated testing frameworks for AI-generated code, increasing coverage and reliability. - Drive and expand end-to-end and integration testing coverage across production environments. - Drive runtime monitoring and quality assurance standards across multi-language deployments. - Manage CI/CD pipeline integration for continuous quality validation. - Collaborate cross-functionally with AI engineers to surface and resolve platform-level quality issues. Required Experience - 3+ years of experience with Playwright and automated testing frameworks. - Strong expertise in Python (our primary automation language). - Experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions or similar). - Proficiency in version control systems (Git). - Experience testing distributed systems. - Understanding of modern software development practices. - Experience working with cloud platforms (GCP preferred). What Makes You Stand Out - Experience with runtime monitoring and testing of distributed systems. - Knowledge of performance testing and APM (Application Performance Monitoring). - Experience with end-to-end testing of complex, enterprise-grade applications. - Understanding of distributed tracing and monitoring. - Experience with chaos engineering and resilience testing. What Makes This Role Different This isn't a traditional QA role. You'll be at the forefront of a category-defining company, building testing infrastructure for AI-generated software that is transforming how Fortune 500 enterprises build products. You will have direct impact on the quality and reliability of an autonomous development platform moving at unprecedented speed—where your frameworks determine whether AI-built software is production-ready at scale. The challenges are novel, the stakes are high, and the team is world-class. Our Culture Who we are: Led by two pioneering co-founders we are one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S., creating our own category of enterprise autonomous software development. We automate thousands of hours of software development for our customers, which includes strong representation within the Fortune 500. How we work: - We move Blitzy Fast: Time is both our company's and our clients' most precious asset. We move quickly and decisively to innovate internally and deliver exceptional software externally. - Championship Mindset: We operate like a professional sports team. We win as a team by holding ourselves and each other to high standards, collaborating in-person, and remaining focused on the mission. - Passion for Invention: We're pushing the frontier of what's possible, requiring constant innovation and iteration. - We Work for the Customer: We focus on delivering outsized value to the customers we work with and expanding those relationships into deep, meaningful partnerships.
