About BRINC:
At BRINC, we are building the technology that will define the future of emergency response. As a vertically integrated U.S. drone technology company, BRINC designs and manufactures unmanned aircraft systems, autonomous drone stations, command-and-control software, and advanced autonomy for public safety. Today, BRINC deploys Drone as First Responder (DFR) networks that dispatch drones directly to 911 calls, providing real-time aerial intelligence before ground units arrive and helping first responders make faster, safer decisions. BRINC serves more than 1,000 public safety customers across all 50 states, is the sole drone supplier to Motorola Solutions, and has raised more than $280 million from leading strategic and technology investors, including Motorola Solutions, Index Ventures, Sam Altman, Dylan Field, and others. BRINC is recruiting exceptional engineers to build the next generation of autonomous emergency-response technology, including flight-critical firmware and advanced pilot-assistance capabilities.
About this Role:
We are seeking an experienced Software Engineer, Test (SDET) to own quality engineering and test automation for BRINC’s Web Platform and Services, our cloud product suite known as LiveOps. LiveOps powers Drone as a First Responder (DFR) programs with live video streaming, teleoperation, fleet management, data management, third-party integrations, and a growing set of mission-critical capabilities. In this role, you will design and build the automated testing frameworks, infrastructure, and quality processes that ensure first responders can depend on LiveOps to respond to 911 calls within seconds. Reporting to the Director of Software Engineering, Web Platform, you will partner closely with backend, frontend, cloud, device software, and autonomy teams to define test strategy, surface issues before they reach production, and raise the quality bar across the platform. Engineering roles at BRINC require a high level of ownership and initiative, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and solve complex, undefined problems.
Key Responsibilities:
•
Design, build, and maintain automated test frameworks and suites that provide API, integration, and end-to-end coverage across the LiveOps web platform and backend services.
•
Own end-to-end and regression testing for core LiveOps features, including live video streaming, teleoperation, fleet management, data management, and third-party integrations.
•
Validate IAM and security controls across the platform, including Amazon Cognito, multi-tenant authentication and authorization, and Lambda authorizers, to support SOC 2 compliance and safeguard sensitive public safety data.
•
Validate machine learning and computer vision model outputs from BRINC’s autonomy stack, including object detection, segmentation, and classification models, testing output correctness, confidence thresholds, and regression behavior across model versions.
•
Validate health monitoring and observability, exercising alerting pipelines, DynamoDB Streams, and CloudWatch alarm behavior to ensure failures are detected and surfaced in production.
•
Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to deliver fast, reliable quality feedback and gate releases into production.
•
Build and maintain test infrastructure, environments, and test data to enable repeatable, high-quality testing.
•
Design and execute performance, load, and reliability testing for real-time, low-latency services such as live video streaming and teleoperation.
•
Partner with backend, frontend, cloud, and device software engineers to define test strategy and acceptance criteria, shifting quality earlier in the development cycle.
•
Triage failures, perform root-cause analysis, track defects, and produce clear quality metrics and release-readiness reports, while championing testing and quality best practices across the team.
Qualifications:
•
5-12 years of experience in software test engineering, SDET, or quality engineering, building automated testing for web and cloud platforms.
•
Strong programming skills in TypeScript and Python, with the ability to write and maintain production-quality test code.
•
Hands-on experience building web and API test automation with Playwright, including end-to-end suites built from the ground up and reporting frameworks that clearly surface results.
•
Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, working comfortably in Linux and bash environments.
•
Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and testing distributed, service-based architectures.
•
