Fulltime
Allthenticate is changing the way security feels and functions, prioritizing usability to create the most enjoyable experience for our users. Imagine a security product that’s not just necessary but a delight to use. That’s what we live for.
We’re looking for more brilliant people to join our world-class team. Let us know why you are the teammate that we’ve all be dreaming about working with.
What You’ll Do
You’ll build the systems that let us ship security software fearlessly. Our product spans a Rust core, a FastAPI backend, a Vue 3 web app, a desktop application with various low-level authentication integrations, and a Flutter mobile app — and every one of them has to work perfectly, every single time, because people use us to unlock their doors and their laptops. You’ll write real features across that stack and build the test infrastructure that proves they work, so the whole team can move fast without breaking the things that matter.
Responsibilities
You’ll work across our stack and own the quality of what we ship. Expect to be doing a subset of the following:
Designing and building end-to-end test infrastructure with Playwright, Selenium, and Docker that runs reliably in CI and locally
Shipping features across the stack — FastAPI services in Python, performance-critical work in Rust, Vue 3 interfaces, and Dart for mobile
Building test harnesses for hardware-backed authentication flows, including Bluetooth and cryptographic key handling
Containerizing test environments so a full system can be spun up, exercised, and torn down on demand
Hunting down flaky tests and race conditions, and fixing the root cause instead of the symptom
Reviewing code across languages and raising the engineering bar for everyone around you
What We’re Looking For
An insatiable desire to build something awesome
Strong experience building automated test infrastructure with tools like Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or pytest
Fluency in Python and comfort with a typed systems language — Rust experience is a big plus
Hands-on experience with Docker and modern CI/CD pipelines
Familiarity with a modern frontend framework — we use Vue 3 — and a willingness to work in Dart for mobile
A generalist streak: you’d rather learn the unfamiliar part of the stack than hand the problem to someone else
A willingness to learn new skills and teach others what you already know
Ideal Superpowers
Experience testing across platforms — web, desktop, iOS, and Android — from a single suite
Async Python at scale (asyncio, FastAPI, WebSockets)
Rust in production, especially FFI or cross-compilation to mobile targets
Testing Bluetooth, embedded, or other hardware-in-the-loop systems
Knowledge of authentication, cryptographic paradigms, and general security concepts
A history of open-source contributions, CTF wins, or side projects you can’t stop talking about
Benefits
100% employer covered health, dental and vision insurance
Equity grant
401k with company matching
Flexible working hours
Opportunity to be a major contributor to world-changing technology
Work with a fun, inclusive, and accomplished team
Vibrant company culture with regular team activities (e.g., team dinners, pickleball, volleyball, escape rooms, and paintball)
What We Offer
If you strive to be the best in the world in your craft then this is the right place for you! You can expect a job that is challenging, fun, and team oriented. While working at Allthenticate, you can expect to always be doing hard things. We are trying to crack one of the hardest problems in Computer Science (secure, usable key management), and nothing about that is easy. We’ll be spending a lot of time together and we want to make sure that every minute of that is as pleasurable as possible. We have regular social outings to make sure we get to know each on a personal level and we are very flexible with hours to do our best to maximize happiness. We are taking on some of the hardest problems on earth - it’s going to take more than a few smart people - it takes an elite team.

Software QA Engineer Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a software qa engineer in Texas?
There is no state-issued license required to work as a software qa engineer in Texas. Most employers expect a bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field, though strong candidates with an associate degree and demonstrated testing skills are competitive for junior roles. Building a portfolio of automated test scripts, earning a vendor-neutral certification such as ISTQB Foundation, and completing projects that show experience with Texas-heavy tech stacks like cloud and CI/CD pipelines strengthens any application.
How much do software QA engineers make in Texas?
Software QA engineers in Texas earn a median of about $101,850 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $59,010 for the lowest 10% to over $153,380 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire software qa engineers in Texas?
Employers hiring software qa engineers in Texas right now include SAGEMCOM, Allthenticate, and Charles Schwab, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Texas's concentration of defense contractors, semiconductor firms, and fintech companies means QA openings appear across a wide range of industries beyond pure software product companies.
Which Texas cities have the most software qa engineer jobs?
Houston, Texas, and Dallas have the most software qa engineer openings in Texas. Austin's dense technology startup and enterprise software ecosystem drives the highest volume, while Dallas-Fort Worth's mix of financial services headquarters and corporate tech campuses sustains strong demand, and Houston's energy-sector digital transformation and aerospace industry anchor openings in that metro.
Are there remote software qa engineer jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 100% of software qa engineer openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting that much of the work, writing and running automated test suites, reviewing logs, and filing defect reports, requires only a laptop and access to staging environments. Roles involving hands-on hardware validation or classified defense systems are the most likely to require on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a software qa engineer in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a junior QA analyst or test engineer role, which large Texas employers like Dell, Oracle, and AT&T typically staff through new-graduate hiring cycles tied to spring and fall university recruiting at schools such as UT Austin and Texas A&M. Building a GitHub portfolio with automated test scripts and contributing to open-source projects compensates for a thin resume. Adjacent roles such as technical support analyst or business systems analyst at Texas-based companies frequently serve as a stepping stone, and earning the ISTQB Foundation certification signals seriousness to hiring managers screening entry-level applications.
Where can I find and apply to software qa engineer jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to software qa engineer jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings updated regularly. Search the listings, find a role that fits your experience and preferred location, and apply directly to the employer from the listing.
