Engineering Jobs in King City, OR

QA Engineer

Portland, Oregon | Creative Technology Studio

We don't build ordinary software.

We create immersive brand experiences, interactive environments, and storytelling platforms used by some of the most dynamic companies in the world. From motion-driven installations to large-scale digital environments, our work blends software, hardware, design, and content into experiences that people don't just see — they feel.

We are looking for a QA Engineer to help ensure everything we create performs flawlessly in the real world.

This is not a traditional QA role.

You will be the person shaping how quality works across both bespoke project software and productised platforms, working at the intersection of creative technology, interactive development, and real-world deployment.

You'll join a multidisciplinary team of developers, designers, technologists, and storytellers — and play a critical role in making sure what we build launches smoothly, runs reliably, and delivers the "wow" moment every time.

The Role

As QA Engineer, you will take ownership of testing across our software ecosystem — from interactive front-end applications to internal tools and content management systems.

You'll work across two distinct types of work:

• Experience-driven projects — bespoke, fast-moving, highly creative builds where every delivery is different
• Product platforms — repeatable, structured software that must meet strict quality and reliability standards

This role requires someone who can operate independently, define processes, and build QA capability as the team continues to grow.

You will be the go-to person for quality, helping us move from reactive testing to a scalable, repeatable, and well-defined QA practice.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own QA across both project-based and product-based software development
• Test interactive applications, CMS tools, and internal platforms across front-end and back-end environments
• Build and maintain automated testing scripts and frameworks
• Define QA processes that work for both structured products and fast-moving creative projects
• Manage test data and environments to support reliable testing
• Work closely with developers to identify, reproduce, and resolve issues quickly
• Support deployment, versioning, regression, and release workflows
• Produce clear documentation for internal teams and client delivery
• Help establish QA standards as the software team continues to scale

What We're Looking For

• Experience in QA / software testing across web, native, or interactive applications
• Comfortable working independently as the primary QA specialist
• Experience with automated testing tools or scripting (Python, JavaScript, or similar)
• Understanding of QA methodology, regression testing, and deployment workflows
• Ability to work across both structured products and bespoke project builds
• Strong attention to detail and problem-solving mindset
• Comfortable working in multidisciplinary teams
• Clear communicator, able to work with developers, designers, and technical directors
• Experience working on Windows environments

Nice to Have

• Experience with creative / interactive frameworks (Cinder, TouchDesigner, Vue, etc.)
• Experience testing AV / hardware / installation-based systems
• Familiarity with CI/CD or deployment automation
• Experience working in agencies, creative tech studios, or product teams

Why Join

Work on projects you won't find anywhere else

Interactive environments, motion-driven installations, projection-mapped spaces, and immersive storytelling platforms.

Small team, big impact

You'll be shaping how QA works, not just following a process.

Creative + technical culture

Developers, designers, strategists, and technologists working side-by-side.

Global work

Projects delivered around the world, across industries and technologies.

Room to build something

This role will help define how quality scales as the software team grows.
