Are you passionate about defining what quality means for an entirely new category of enterprise AI product? Do you want to own test strategy in an environment where customer deployments are the ultimate validation? The Alexa Enterprise team is looking for a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer who thrives in a startup-style environment, builds test frameworks from scratch, and is energized by the challenge of ensuring quality across cloud services, device software, and real-world customer integrations.
In this role, you’ll define and own the quality strategy for a platform that enterprise customers across healthcare, energy, retail, and insurance depend on. You’ll work closely with SDEs, product managers, and customers to understand how the platform is deployed in the field — then build the test approaches, automation, and certification criteria that ensure it works reliably in those environments. Your test strategy will be informed by real customer deployments and integration patterns, not just internal specifications. We believe this is how quality engineering evolves — and we’re already seeing it happen here.
We’re a small, fast-moving team building AI-powered solutions at the intersection of Alexa AI capabilities and AWS cloud services. Our customers are deploying in environments where the integration challenges are real, the feedback loops are immediate, and quality is measured by what works in the field.
Key job responsibilities
In this role, you will:
- Define and own the end-to-end quality strategy for the Alexa Enterprise platform — spanning cloud services, device software, AI integrations, and customer-facing experiences
- Design and build test automation frameworks from scratch to support rapid iteration across a full-stack platform (backend services, frontend, AWS infrastructure, device layer)
- Work directly with enterprise customers and field engineers to understand real-world deployment patterns, failure modes, and integration challenges — then translate those into test coverage
- Create benchmarking standards, test KPIs, and certification criteria that ensure platform reliability across customer verticals
- Develop QA approaches that cover the full system: cloud services, streaming audio, device interactions, authentication flows, and third-party agent integrations
- Find, isolate, document, and track bugs through resolution — be a vocal proponent for quality in every phase of development
- Collaborate with SDEs on testability of new features, participate in design reviews, and drive engineering best practices around test coverage and operational readiness
- Mentor QA engineers and SDEs on quality standards, testing methodologies, and automation best practices
- Organize data collection and analysis to inform pass/fail criteria for platform readiness and customer deployments
A day in the life
As a Senior QAE on the Alexa Enterprise team, your morning might start analyzing failure patterns from a pilot customer’s deployment — an authentication flow is failing intermittently and you need to determine whether it’s an edge case in the platform or a configuration gap in their environment. You design a targeted test scenario to reproduce it reliably and add it to the automation suite. Mid-morning, you’re reviewing a new feature’s testability with the dev team — pushing for better observability hooks before it ships. After lunch, you’re updating certification criteria based on patterns you’ve seen across three customer integrations, then presenting quality metrics to the team and making the case for a stability bar that blocks the next release until a flaky interaction is resolved.
About the team
The Alexa Enterprise team builds AI-powered solutions for businesses. We work with enterprise customers across healthcare, energy, retail, and insurance to deploy solutions that transform operations. Our team operates at the intersection of Alexa AI capabilities and AWS cloud services, partnering closely with AWS sales, product, and specialist teams to deliver customer outcomes. Engineers on this team have real ownership — from test strategy through production reliability — and the opportunity to shape quality standards for a platform in its early stages.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 8+ years of quality assurance engineering experience
- 5+ years of delivering test frameworks, test tools, leading the QA projects and initiatives experience
- Knowledge of QA methodology and tools, with demonstrated experience in an QAE role
- Experience in manual testing
- Experience in automation testing
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 2+ years of UI Automation (preferably on mobile platforms) experience
- Knowledge of at least one modern object-oriented programming language such as C++, Java, Objective C

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Quality Engineer
Verify your degree aligns with QE roles
H-1B1 visa requires a specialty occupation degree directly tied to your role. An engineering or applied sciences degree supports Quality Engineer sponsorship cleanly, but a business degree alone may trigger an employer's legal review. Pull your O*NET occupation profile to confirm the standard education requirements before applying.
Research LCA-filing manufacturers and suppliers
Target employers in aerospace, medical devices, automotive, and electronics manufacturing, where Quality Engineer roles are high-volume and repeat H-1B1 visa LCA filings are common. Use the OFLC Wage Search to confirm prevailing wage levels in your target metro before you negotiate.
Search H-1B1 Chile jobs on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters job listings by H-1B1 Chile sponsorship history, so you can focus on employers with verified DOL LCA filings for Quality Engineer roles instead of guessing which companies will sponsor.
Get your credentials evaluated before outreach
Chilean engineering credentials from universities not on a U.S. employer's pre-approved list often need a third-party equivalency evaluation. Complete this before you start interviewing so sponsorship delays don't stall an offer that's already been extended.
Clarify LCA job duties match your actual work
The LCA your employer files must describe your specific Quality Engineer duties, not a generic job code. If your role involves supplier audits, CAPA management, or ISO certification oversight, make sure those duties appear in the certified LCA before your consular appointment.
Request a consulate appointment before your start date
H-1B1 Chile applications are processed at a U.S. consulate in Chile, not through USCIS. Coordinate with your employer to schedule your appointment well ahead of your intended start date, since administrative processing can add two to four weeks beyond the standard interview window.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Quality Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Chile?
Yes. Quality Engineer is classified under engineering and technical occupations that require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field, which satisfies the H-1B1 visa specialty occupation standard. Roles focused on supplier quality, process validation, or ISO compliance all typically qualify, provided the employer's LCA job description matches your actual duties.
How is H-1B1 Chile different from H-1B for Quality Engineer sponsorship?
H-1B visa requires your employer to enter a lottery, file a USCIS petition, and wait months for approval. H-1B1 Chile has no lottery, no USCIS petition, and an annual cap of 1,400 visas that almost never fills. Your employer still files an LCA with DOL, but you apply directly at the consulate, which makes the timeline far more predictable for both you and your hiring manager.
How do I find Quality Engineer employers who sponsor H-1B1 Chile visas?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. It surfaces Quality Engineer job listings filtered by verified H-1B1 Chile LCA filing history, so you can see which employers have already gone through the DOL process for this visa type rather than cold-applying and hoping the company will sponsor.
Can my employer sponsor me on H-1B1 Chile if they have never done it before?
Yes. Any U.S. employer can file an LCA with DOL for a first-time H-1B1 Chile sponsorship. The process is shorter than H-1B because there is no USCIS petition stage. Your employer submits the LCA through the DOL FLAG system, receives certification, and you take those documents to your consular interview in Chile.
What happens to my H-1B1 Chile status if my Quality Engineer role changes significantly?
A material change in job duties, location, or employer requires a new LCA filing with DOL. If your role shifts from incoming inspection to a management position or moves to a different worksite, your employer must file an amended LCA before those changes take effect. Proceeding without an updated LCA puts your status at risk.
