Do you agree we’re living through the AI revolution?
•
Do you want to be part of it — and run ahead of the curve?
•
Are you ready to help 100x productivity?
If so, join us.
At Shiplight AI, our mission is to build the foundation for enterprise-scale automation powered by intelligent agents. We believe every organization should have AI systems that can understand context, take action, and collaborate seamlessly with humans — transforming how work gets done across the enterprise.
Our first mission: fully automate software quality assurance. We’re building state-of-the-art agentic QA systems that integrate deeply into the software development cycle — empowering every product manager, developer, and tester with their own AI QA engineer that validates work in real time.
You’ll be joining a small, mission-driven founding team led by industry veterans, working at the intersection of AI agents, system engineering, and real-world developer productivity.

Build core systems that enable AI agents to autonomously test and reason about complex applications.
•
Design, prototype, and ship agentic browser and device automation components.
•
Work directly with the founders to define architecture, roadmap, and company culture.
•
Experiment with cutting-edge context engineering techniques to improve reasoning and adaptability.
•
Move fast — from prototype to production — with high ownership and autonomy.
