QA Engineer

TLDR: We’re looking for a QA Engineer to help us build reliable, scalable testing infrastructure. You’ll work with Playwright, Python, and CI/CD pipelines to own end-to-end quality across our platform, improve test reliability and speed, and help shape engineering quality standards. About us White Circle is an AI Safety company building the safety, reliability, and optimization layer for AI systems. At the core of our platform are policies – simple natural-language rules that define what an AI model should and shouldn’t do. We automatically test, enforce, and continuously improve these policies at scale. We’ve raised $11M from top funds, founders, and senior leaders at OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Mistral, DeepMind, Datadog, Sentry, and others We process over one hundred million API calls every month We fine-tune and train our own LLMs so they run faster and cheaper than any open or proprietary model We’re a small, highly focused team.
