About walrus.ai
walrus.ai is a new approach to testing and ensuring confidence in complex web applications. Through a combination of human intelligence and computer execution, we offer quick and reliable monitoring and testing from simple, plain-English instructions. Our goal is to eliminate time wasted on writing and maintaining tests across the entire stack, allowing engineers instead to focus on building products.
This is a great opportunity to shape a company in a massive market from the ground up. We are based in San Francisco, but this position is also remote-friendly.
This role will...
- Work closely with the rest of the team (engineering, product, design) to define and implement new features from start to finish, with clean and well-tested code (dev-ops, server, client).
- Build, maintain, and continuously improve our internal automation tooling to ensure quick and reliable test results for our clients.
- Build and maintain infrastructure and monitoring such that our clients are consistently having the best possible experience.
Our Values
Listen First
We believe in empowering and delighting our customers. The biggest part of that is listening to them, when they’re happy, and when they’re frustrated. Before making any hard decision, listen to different points of view, collect as much insight as possible, and move forward with conviction. Don’t bring the ego in the building.
Always learn
“A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.”
— Mark Twain
Failure is embraced, as long as you learn something from it.
We believe in curiosity, and first-principles reasoning. All ideas are welcome, and debate is embraced. We aim for clarity of thought, and collecting diverse points of view, from our team, and our customers.
