Why Engineering at Vacasa
We build the tools that allow other departments to succeed. We’re constantly experimenting and fine-tuning our products. We value stability, security, and scalability. Our favorite word is autonomy—we want everyone to have a voice.
What we’re looking for
As a Sr Quality Engineer in ML at Vacasa, you will develop testing strategies for machine learning pipelines. Models are trained by our data scientists, and expected output for a given input isn’t always known. You should be comfortable with both white-box and black-box testing. Engineers at Vacasa are responsible for writing their own unit tests, but will defer to QA for end-to-end integration testing tools and strategies. You will set up automation infrastructure, and make the final call when a given project is ready for production.
You will be expected to lead initiatives, champion best practices for QA, mentor up-and-coming talent, set an example of conduct through cross-team collaboration, communicate to stakeholders, and balance QA concerns with business needs.
What you'll do
- Formulate testing strategies for individual components and entire ML systems.
- Continuously learning about the environment, monitor, and evaluate the health of ML pipelines.
- Create alerting and monitoring to quickly pinpoint issues.
- Create Airflow DAGs and test suites, using data testing frameworks such as Great Expectations.
- Code reviews and promotion through CI/CD pipelines, and ad hoc.
- Participate in regular standup, planning, and retrospective meetings.
- Write defect reports for quality issues and manage them to resolution.
- Stay up-to-date with the latest data science testing techniques and tools.
- Collaborate with MLEs and DS to create testing strategies that ensure data and software quality.
- Co-lead projects, and mentor junior team members.
- Other duties, as assigned.
Skills you'll need
- 4+ years experience in automating and maintaining test automation.
- Experience working within an AWS environment.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, and experience writing integration test plans.
- Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills with attention to detail.
- Experience with CI/CD tools and processes.
- Well-versed in modern application development practices (e.g., Scrum, Kanban).
- Experience testing machine learning pipelines is a plus.
- Python and SQL experience is a plus.
- Ability to work in office 4 days / week with the option to work from home 1 day / week
- The benefit of a hybrid schedule requires a reliable internet connection and must meet a minimum of 50 mbps
What you’ll get
- Competitive salary
- Ability to participate in our Employee Stock Purchase Plan
- Paid vacation and holidays
- Meal vouchers
- Employee Assistance Program
- Career advancement opportunities
- Employee discounts
- All the equipment you’ll need to be successful
- Great colleagues and culture
