Software Engineer - Test
The Role

You'll work closely with engineering and product to define acceptance criteria, spot risks early, and build scalable automated quality systems as part of the engineering team. This role suits someone who thrives in a fast-moving startup, automates what others test manually, and takes pride in catching issues before users do.

If you want to pioneer, to create, and to see your work touch lives directly, we'd love to hear from you.
We're building a team that reflects the diversity of the people who'll benefit from our work. We want Lyrebird to be a place where everyone feels safe, supported, and able to thrive. If you're from an underrepresented background in tech, we especially encourage you to apply — even if you don't meet every single requirement. We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
