- Benefits Summary: list of benefits.
We need to output sections with headings
. Use - for lists. Use
for prose paragraphs.
We must not include headings with filler. Ensure each heading has content.
We must not repeat job title.
We need to decide which headings to use: maybe "About the Company", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Preferred Qualifications", "Technical Environment", "Example Projects", "Why Join Us", "Location and Schedule", "Compensation and Benefits". However instructions: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They gave examples but we can use similar. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content.
Thus we can have:
About the Company

Responsibilities
- ... each bullet
Requirements

. According to instruction: include Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. Yes we have salary range and benefits.
We also have schedule: onsite five days a week. That's schedule info. Could include under Schedule heading.
Thus we could have:
Pay
The base salary range for this role is $176,000 - $242,000 per year. Actual compensation will be determined on an individual basis and may vary depending on experience, skills, and qualifications. Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package. You may also be eligible for equity awards.
Benefits
- Medical, Dental, Vision, Disability, and Life Insurance

Schedule
This role is based in our San Francisco office location. As a company driven by innovation and continuous change, close collaboration is essential. We’re constantly reimagining our industry, creating new products, and refining our processes, and we do our best work together. That’s why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week.
But note that "What Else You Need To Know" includes location and schedule and salary and benefits. We split.
We must not duplicate content. Ensure we preserve all.
Let's extract exact text.
Who We Are: "Pronto AI is a global leader in commercializing autonomous vehicle (AV) technology, deploying Autonomous Haulage Systems (AHS) that automate operations in mines, quarries, and construction sites worldwide. While much of the industry remains in R&D, we deliver real, production-ready autonomy that is already operating in the field. We are on a mission to make mining operations safer, smarter, and more efficient through cutting-edge technology, and we are building toward becoming the world’s first profitable AV technology company."
What You’ll Do: bullet points:
- Test Platform & Infrastructure — Design and build the core test infrastructure: harnesses, fixtures, runners, orchestration, and test artifact management for our ZMQ/Cap'n Proto middleware stack
- Simulation-Based Testing — Build the simulation infrastructure that lets us run autonomy software against virtual scenarios, with deterministic playback and meaningful coverage of real-world conditions
- CI/CD for Robotics — Build and maintain the testing pipeline that gates code changes — unit, integration, simulation, and replay-based regression — and integrate it cleanly into the developer workflow
- Log Replay & Recorded Scenario Testing — Build infrastructure that converts production logs into reproducible test cases the QA Engineer can curate and the dev team can run
What We’re Looking For:
- 3+ years of software engineering experience, with significant work on testing infrastructure, developer tools, or distributed systems
- Strong Python — you'll write substantial code, much of it touching production-adjacent infrastructure
- Experience designing and building automation pipelines (CI/CD, test orchestration, build systems)
- Deep familiarity with at least one large-scale software platform — comfortable thinking in terms of APIs, abstractions, and platform usability
- Excellent debugging and systems thinking — you'll be reasoning about failures across simulation, networking, serialization, and CI infrastructure
- Comfort building greenfield — much of what you'll work on does not exist today
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with robotics, autonomous vehicles, or other safety-critical systems
- Hands-on experience with simulation environments (Gazebo, CARLA, Isaac Sim, or proprietary)
- Familiarity with pub/sub messaging systems (ZMQ, ROS, DDS) and binary serialization formats (Cap'n Proto, Protobuf)
- C++ familiarity — enough to read and integrate against the autonomy stack
- Cloud infrastructure experience for parallel test execution (AWS/GCP, Kubernetes)
- Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing or real-time systems
- Performance engineering background — you've debugged and optimized slow CI/test pipelines before
Technical Environment:
- Languages: Python
- Test Frameworks: pytest, simulation-based
- Infrastructure: Docker, GitHub Actions, cloud compute for simulation
- Communication/Documentation: Slack, Notion
Example Projects:
- Build a simulation harness that runs the full autonomy stack against parameterized mining scenarios in cloud-based parallel execution
- Design a log-to-test-case pipeline that ingests a production log fragment and produces a deterministic replay test the QA Engineer can add to a regression suite
- Build a test platform dashboard that surfaces flaky tests, slow tests, and coverage gaps to the QA Engineer and developer lead
Why join us:
- Work on real, production-deployed autonomy.
- Build technology that directly improves safety, efficiency, and productivity.
- Tackle complex challenges in demanding, real-world environments.
- Be part of a fast-moving team with high ownership and impact.
- See your work deployed and making a difference in the field.
- Collaborate closely with experienced engineers and industry operators.
What Else You Need To Know:
- This role is based in our San Francisco office location.
- As a company driven by innovation and continuous change, close collaboration is essential. We’re constantly reimagining our industry, creating new products, and refining our processes, and we do our best work together. That’s why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week.
- The base salary range for this role is $176,000 - $242,000 per year. Actual compensation will be determined on an individual basis and may vary depending on experience, skills, and qualifications. Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package. You may also be eligible for equity awards.

- Paid Parental Leave
- Pre-Tax Commuter Benefit Plan
- Team lunch in our SoMa office every Tuesday and Thursday
- Benefits Are Subject To Change At The Company's Discretion.
- Pronto accepts applications on an ongoing basis.
- Ready to join us as we serve those who serve others?
We need to remove boilerplate like "Benefits Are Subject To Change At The Company's Discretion." maybe keep as part of benefits? It's a note; could be included but it's not a benefit. Might be considered boilerplate but it's about benefits. Might keep as a note. However instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "Benefits Are Subject To Change At The Company's Discretion." is a legal disclaimer; could be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove. Also "Pronto accepts applications on an ongoing basis." and "Ready to join us as we serve those who serve others?" are application instructions / call to action; remove.
Thus we keep benefits list.
