Founding Institutional QA Engineer (Semantic & Cross-Cultural Testing)

📍 Remote 💼 Full-time 💰 NT$1.0M – 1.8M / year + equity
Redefine QA: test not software, but institutions, governance, and cross-cultural responsibility.

We are building the world’s first AI Workforce OS
where AI staff act as auditable digital employees: managing contracts, budgets, compliance, and cross-border workflows.

This requires a new profession: Institutional QA.
Not UI clicks. Not unit tests. But testing responsibility, culture, and governance.

About the Role

As our Founding Institutional QA Engineer, you will:

  • Translate laws, contracts, and compliance rules into testable scenarios
  • Conduct cross-cultural QA (EU, Japan, Taiwan): verify tone, roles, and workflows across jurisdictions
  • Apply Semantic Testing frameworks (MVS, MTDD, MDTT) to institutional workflows
  • Check role boundaries: who can approve, who can sign, who can pay
  • Simulate audits and inspections: test if AI staff behavior withstands regulator and client review
  • Collaborate with Semantic Contract Engineers to design accountability-driven infra
  • Document failures not as “bugs” but as institutional risks

Why This Role Matters

Traditional QA checks software.
Institutional QA checks governance.

You’ll test whether:

  • AI staff act responsibly across jurisdictions
  • Outputs make sense linguistically, logically, and culturally
  • Compliance holds under real-world scrutiny

This is QA redefined: testing institutions, not just systems.

Requirements

  • Background in business, law, linguistics, philosophy, or cognitive science
  • Strong ability to analyze rules, contracts, and institutional structures
  • Training in linguistics, pragmatics, or logic (esp. Wittgenstein’s language-games, speech-act theory) is highly valued
  • Intuitive logical thinker: can bridge mathematical logic and language logic
  • Curious about cross-cultural governance (EU, Japan, Taiwan)
  • Comfortable learning semantic testing frameworks (we will train)
  • PhD (preferred) or Master’s degree in a relevant field

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to QA, compliance, or auditing workflows
  • Understanding of digital identity (DID/VC, EUDI Wallet, TW-DIW, My Number)
  • Multilingual skills (English + Chinese; Japanese a plus)
  • Basic ability to script in Python or TypeScript for test automation

Benefits

  • Salary: NT$1.0M – 1.8M / year + equity
  • Founding-level role: define the Institutional QA discipline
  • Learn and apply Semantic Testing, Institutional QA, Cross-Cultural Validation
  • Direct contribution to OECD, EU AI Act, and AI Governance reference cases
  • Visa opportunities: Taiwan Gold Card, Europe Startup Visa, Japan (future setup)
