What the role involves
Company Description
Software is moving at the speed of AI, but quality assurance is stuck in the dark ages. We are QualGent AI. Backed by Y Combinator and built by former Google engineers who worked at the bleeding edge of AI and XR, we are building the infrastructure to eliminate software bugs entirely. We aren’t just making testing faster; we’re making it autonomous. By combining instant mobile bug recording with agentic verification, we catch, diagnose, and verify issues before they ever bottleneck a release. We are engineering a zero-bug future.
Role Description
This is a full-time, remote Design Engineer role.
You bridge the gap between static design and live code. You possess a high aesthetic bar but refuse to be slowed down by traditional design-to-development handoffs.
The Vibe: Aesthetic but highly technical. You are frustrated by slow loading times and clunky UI. You don't just want things to look good; they want to ship them instantly.
The Skill Stack: Coding (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Next.js/React, Tailwind CSS), Design (e.g. Figma, Framer), Motion Graphics & Video (e.g. Hera AI, Veo from Gemini).
Core Metric: Time-to-value from product feature release or founder strategy update to a live, interactive, visually compelling web asset.
Example work
- Landing Page Iterations: Not just tweaking design, but going from founder vision to a live, coded, and conversion-optimized page in a single day.
- Social & Release Packaging: Translating highly technical feature releases into digestible, engaging LinkedIn and X posts that resonate with VPs of Engineering and QA Directors.
- Product Demo & Video Assets: Rapidly producing motion graphics and walkthroughs for new features without waiting on two-week vendor turnarounds.
- Technical Content & Case Studies: Creating the deep-dive blog posts and documentation that technical buyers require to build trust before they ever book a demo.
- Competitor "Takedown" Assets: Building and maintaining live comparison pages that position our platform against legacy mobile testing tools.
About QualGent
QualGent is an AI Mobile App Quality Assurance Tester that mimics a real human, helping teams catch bugs and ship faster - without hiring more QA testers. One customer reached #3 in the Education category on the App Store by improving app quality with QualGent. Mobile bugs hurt: crashes kill ratings, broken checkouts drive churn. QualGent helps teams scale QA effortlessly and avoid Sonos-level disasters. The idea for QualGent was born from the founders’ experience leading engineering teams at Google across Android XR, Stadia, Quick Share, and foldable devices where shipping to billions of users meant constantly facing the painful trade-off between moving fast and maintaining quality. With prior research experience at Nvidia, Maryland, and Berkeley, the team saw a clear opportunity: use AI to scale QA. QualGent’s vision is to close the loop on software creation. As AI enables engineers to code 100x faster, QualGent eliminates the next bottleneck—software verification—unlocking truly scalable, end-to-end software development.
