Software Engineer I - AI Generalist
About this role
Join Zello's Quality Engineering team as an AI Generalist to modernize testing and tooling across a voice-first communication platform serving 175+ million users.

What you'll do
- Use AI tools and agents to accelerate test creation, execution, and triage across Zello's platform
- Build AI harnesses and tools that the QE and broader engineering teams adopt into daily workflows
- Perform targeted manual testing and convert repetitive checks into durable automation
- Rotate into engineering squads (iOS, Android, Web, backend) to contribute production code with AI assistance
- Identify quality gaps before release and propose solutions rather than just reporting bugs
- Communicate clearly with distributed teams, surfacing blockers early
What they're looking for
- AI coding tools and agents (as force multiplier)
- Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Swift, Kotlin, or Go
- Test automation and test framework design
- Problem-solving and independent initiative
- Cross-platform development (iOS, Android, Web, backend)
- Written communication for technical and non-technical audiences
- Rapid learning of new technology stacks
Benefits
- Competitive pay and equity with significant upside
- Flexible schedules and generous time off
- Sabbatical after every five years of service
- Intentionally designed benefits promoting health and work-life balance
- Free snacks and ping-pong table
