About the Role
Wizard is hiring a senior engineer to own quality engineering and release qualification, helping to find problems earlier and keep repaired behavior covered as the product changes. You'll join our Pipeline team, working to extend our agent-driven desktop testing system, build coverage around real projects, investigate failures, and make evidence useful to the people fixing them. You will own release qualification, working with DevOps on build and delivery infrastructure and with the Technical Program Manager on release readiness. This is a hands-on engineering role involving automation, debugging, and exploratory testing.
Responsibilities
- Run and extend Athanor, covering editing, media, effects, project persistence, and exports.
- Triage findings, distinguish application defects from harness or environment problems, and give actionable findings an owner and next step.
- Turn customer reports into reproduction attempts and verified regression cases.
- Retain useful evidence when a problem cannot yet be reproduced.
- Build and maintain a representative library of projects and reference outputs.
- Check frame timing, image quality, color, and audio against reference outputs with appropriate tolerances.
- Validate ingest across the camera and interchange formats our customers use.
- Write evals that check whether Oz completes multistep edits while preserving project state, editability, and Undo.
- Qualify packaged builds and release candidates, and communicate what passed, what failed, and what remains uncertain.
- Use crash and performance evidence to identify recurring problems and verify repairs, partnering with DevOps and application engineers on instrumentation.
- Develop and evaluate better ways to use agents for testing, reproduction, and diagnosis.
- Measure the effect of agent testing on defect detection, investigation time, and coverage.
Requirements
- Experience testing video, media, graphics, games, or another application where timing and output correctness matter.
- Strong automation skills in Python or C++, with experience integrating tests into CI.
- Debugging depth: ability to narrow a failure to a codec, GPU path, timeline operation, fixture, or environment.
- Experience qualifying desktop releases and making clear recommendations from incomplete or conflicting evidence.
- An eye and ear for media problems, and the judgment to choose useful automated comparisons.
- The ability to explain what failed, what the evidence proves, and what should happen next.
- Experience with Qt, camera formats such as R3D, BRAW, ProRes RAW, and MXF, interchange such as XML, EDL, and AAF, or agent evaluation would be useful.
- Show us what you've built: a test framework, a difficult regression you caught, a release process you improved, or a failure investigation that changed how a team worked.
- Hands-on editing, color, sound, or production experience is also valuable.
- We welcome different backgrounds.
- We care about what you've caught, what you've automated, and how you reason about risk.
