Company Overview: Sustainment is an AI-native software platform that helps US-based manufacturers easily find and work with the critical suppliers they need to build and manage their supply chains. Our vision is to reimagine American manufacturing as a hyperconnected, secure, and resilient ecosystem of local and regional suppliers who can more easily connect, interact, and do business with the industry and government customers that rely on them. We are a dual-use technology platform that supports both DoD and commercial customers in pursuit of our vision.
CLEARANCE REQUIREMENT: Candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret or Top Secret security clearance. This is a non-negotiable, hard requirement driven by our Department of War contractor obligations. Candidates who are not eligible will not be considered for this role.
Job Overview:
Sustainment builds B2B SaaS for manufacturing supply chains, serving both commercial customers and federal/defense programs. As we move to a daily release cadence, we need a senior, hands-on QA automation engineer to lead the charge toward a fully automated playwright test suite while keeping our releases fast and trustworthy.
This is a player-coach role - roughly 80% hands-on, 20% leadership. You'll spend most of your time testing and building automation, with a light leadership layer: mentoring a small QA team and owning our QA process. It is a testing-and-automation role first, and a leadership role second.
Quality & automation (your core work)
Team leadership (~10–20% of your time)
Testing and evaluating GenAI / LLM-powered features; building evaluation harnesses, ground-truth datasets, and scoring for non-deterministic model outputs (accuracy, precision/recall, LLM-as-judge).
You'll join a small, high-trust QA team (two engineers today) inside engineering, reporting to the Director of Engineering. We're moving from biweekly to daily releases, we build for both commercial and regulated federal customers, and we're actively adopting AI-assisted development and testing. It's a place to build the QA function into something modern, automated, and measured with real ownership from day one.
