Lead QA Engineer

About Evertune AI:

Evertune is building the first AI discovery platform for modern marketers. As large language models (LLMs) become the go-to source for recommendations – we help brands understand exactly what AI is saying about them, where they stand against competitors, and how to show up more often in AI-powered answers. Our platform turns black-box AI behavior into actionable insights, so marketing teams can make faster, smarter decisions that drive growth.

Founded by leaders who helped scale The Trade Desk into the world’s leading ad tech platform, we bring deep expertise in digital advertising, data, and high-growth environments. Now, we’re pioneering a new category at the intersection of AI, SEO, and brand strategy.

Backed by top-tier VC investors and trusted by forward-thinking brands, we move fast, think boldly, and believe the best ideas win – regardless of title. If you're excited about shaping the future of how brands grow in the age of AI, you’ll thrive here.

Your Team:

You’ll be joining Evertune’s software engineering team – small, focused, and deeply collaborative. We’re currently a distributed group of ~10 engineers working across Seattle and New York, with a few contractors supporting specialized projects. While we span time zones, we operate with tight alignment and shared urgency. Our engineers ship fast, sweat the details, and genuinely enjoy building together. As one of the earliest hires on the team, you'll be helping to shape not just how we code – but how we grow, communicate, and scale.

You’ll work closely with engineering, product, and design to test new features, catch issues early, and improve release confidence. You’ll have the freedom to recommend and implement the best automation tools for our stack. This is a high-impact role for someone who loves building clean, reliable systems and has the leadership chops to grow a team over time.

• Strong leadership and mentorship skills, with the ability to grow and guide a team

• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset
