AI-Native Quality Engineer
ABOUT BESTOW
Life insurance is one of the world's most important products. It's also one of the hardest to build, distribute, and modernize. Bestow exists to change that.
Bestow is a leading vertical technology platform serving some of the largest and most innovative life insurers. Our platform unifies the fragmented, legacy value chain, enabling carriers to launch products in weeks instead of years. Carriers choose us to scale and operate at unprecedented speed, powered by AI and automation.
Bestow isn't selling policies. We're building the infrastructure that helps an entire industry move faster, reach more people, and deliver on its promise.
Backed by leading investors (Goldman Sachs, Hedosophia, NEA, Valar, 8VC) and trusted by major carriers, Bestow is powered by a team that moves with precision, purpose, and heart. If you want to help reimagine a centuries-old industry with lasting impact, join us.
Bestow offers flexible remote/hybrid work, meaningful benefits, equity, and substantial growth opportunities.
Bestow participates in the E-Verify Program.
ABOUT THE TEAM
We are hiring an AI-Native Quality Engineer to help establish the future of our software validation and verification capabilities in the age of AI.
This role is designed for an early-career engineer with strong experience in artificial intelligence, machine learning workflows, or modern automation tooling who wants to apply those skills to one of the hardest unsolved problems in all of software engineering: turning product intent into trustworthy, testable, verifiable system behavior.
You will work at the intersection of application engineering, product development, and applied AI to help translate ideas into structured specifications, executable examples, and scalable validation systems. Along the way, you will learn modern Quality Engineering disciplines such as Definition of Ready, Example Mapping, Specification by Example, and behavior-focused acceptance criteria – while helping us explore how AI can transform those practices.
This role is a discipline-building apprenticeship with meaningful technical ownership from day one and mentorship from senior engineering leaders shaping next-generation specification-driven delivery systems.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Software teams now build faster than ever–but confidence still depends on how clearly behavior is defined, validated, and verified.
We are investing in a new generation of engineers who can combine:
AI-native thinking
structured system reasoning
specification clarity
automation fluency
validation and verification disciplines
to help modernize how software organizations measure correctness and readiness.
You will help shape the future here.
Automation & Verification Engineering (~30%)
Contribute to API verification using REST testing tools and schema-based checks
Help translate structured examples into executable verification artifacts
Support UI and integration automation aligned with documented behavior
Assist with test data setup and environment readiness
Contribute to CI/CD verification workflows
Analyze unexpected behavior discovered during automated execution
Improve signal quality from automated feedback loops
Specification & Behavioral Clarity (~30%)
Support structured refinement activities that make software behavior explicit before implementation begins
Participate in Example Mapping and specification workshops with engineers and product managers
Translate feature ideas into structured scenarios and acceptance criteria
Capture assumptions, edge cases, and behavioral expectations early in development
Help create reusable specification templates and example libraries
Apply AI-assisted workflows to improve requirements clarity and consistency
Identify ambiguity before it becomes rework
AI-Enabled Quality Engineering Exploration (~40%)
Prototype AI-assisted approaches to specification generation
Experiment with prompt-driven verification workflows
Explore semantic regression detection techniques
Evaluate machine-interpretable documentation strategies
Integrate AI-assisted tooling into requirements and specifications, test generation, maintenance, failure analysis, and reporting workflows
Help identify innovative opportunities to improve engineering confidence using modern AI tooling
WHO YOU ARE
-
Recent college graduate or early career experience in software engineering, AI/ML workflows, or applied automation
Strong proficiency in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or another modern programming language
Hands-on experience working with APIs or modern web systems
Demonstrated interest in artificial intelligence, prompt engineering, or evaluation workflows
Ability to reason about system behavior through structured examples
Strong written communication skills
Curiosity about how complex systems behave under changing conditions
Interest in learning modern validation and verification disciplines
Preferred Experience
LLM experimentation or prompt engineering
Evaluation harnesses or benchmarking workflows
JSON schema or OpenAPI
Test automation frameworks
CI/CD pipelines
Containerized environments
Semantic search or embeddings workflows
Agent pipelines or structured output systems
Behavior-driven development practices
Preference for candidates that submit a link to their GitHub Repository
WHY THIS ROLE IS UNIQUE
You will help establish the future of our software validation and verification capabilities in the age of AI.
You will work on real product behavior – not synthetic exercises.
You will collaborate directly with senior engineers to shape next-generation Quality Engineering practices.
You will help explore how artificial intelligence changes the way software correctness is defined and measured.
You will grow into a rare engineering discipline at the intersection of AI and other disciplines:
specifications
automation
systems behavior
verification science
