About the role

Integrate tests into CI/CD for continuous feedback.
You'll also pioneer the use of AI-agentic tools - LLM-driven test generation, agent-based exploratory testing - to scale coverage in ways traditional approaches can't.
Be the go/no-go voice on release readiness.

You'll own test automation across our consumer and enterprise platforms, embed quality into every stage of the development process, and help build a culture where engineers ship with confidence.
We expect you to build, not just test.
Build the Test Automation Platform
Shift Testing Left Embed into the SDLC from day one - review requirements, define acceptance criteria, and flag testability gaps before code is written. Partner with PMs and engineers so quality is a design input, not an afterthought.
Evangelize a Quality-First Engineering Culture Be the voice of quality in planning, sprint reviews, and design discussions. Coach engineers on writing testable code and owning quality in their own work. Make quality visible across the team.
Own the Release Quality Bar
Be the go/no-go voice on release readiness. Lead release sign-off for major launches across consumer and enterprise products.
Build an end-to-end automation framework covering Plaud's D2C consumer platform (plaud.ai http://plaud.ai, web.plaud.com http://web.plaud.com) and B2B Teams product.

High-Impact Environment Work in a fast-moving, product-driven environment where your ideas directly shape the future of AI productivity.
Cutting-Edge AI Tools for Productivity Access to best-in-class AI tools, including Cursor, GPT models, Gemini, Claude, and other frontier AI systems to maximize engineering and execution efficiency.
Best-in-Class Equipment Choice of top-spec laptops, high-performance workstation setups, and cutting-edge Plaud devices for all new hires.

Plaud is a bootstrapped, skyrocketing, profitable company with a $250M revenue run rate achieved in just three years.
Define the next-gen paradigm for human-AI interaction.
Work with passionate teammates who value innovation, collaboration, and customer success.
Grow your career in a culture that champions continuous learning and fast career development.
Market-competitive compensation, global exposure, and a vibrant, creativity-fueled work atmosphere.
Skills, qualifications and experience we look for

Team & Culture Annual company offsites, team events, and a culture that values craftsmanship, ownership, and velocity.

Meaningful Ownership An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) that gives a real stake in Plaud's long-term success.
Report quality health to engineering leadership and build dashboards that give the team real-time release readiness visibility.
Own key KPIs: test coverage, defect escape rate, regression pass rate.

We're looking for a Software Engineer in Test (SDET) to build our quality engineering function from the ground up.
