In this pivotal role, you will be instrumental in ensuring that our AI systems are not just innovative, but also reliable, safe, accurate, and performant, directly contributing to the trust and success of our advanced technology initiatives.
Your Impact & Key Responsibilities
As a critical contributor, you will own the end-to-end testing and automation efforts for robust AI solutions. You'll collaborate closely with AI developers, architects, and product teams to guarantee production-quality AI. Your work will directly reduce regression defects, improve confidence in AI model behavior, and enable the safe, scalable delivery of AI-powered features that meet stringent quality, security, and governance requirements. This role offers significant opportunities for innovation and collaboration across diverse teams, directly shaping the reliability and success of cutting-edge AI technologies.
  • Develop and implement comprehensive testing strategies for AI applications, platforms, and services.
  • Validate AI model outputs for accuracy, consistency, reliability, and safety, performing adversarial, negative, and edge-case testing to identify potential failures and hallucinations.
  • Design and execute functional, integration, end-to-end, regression, and performance tests specifically tailored for AI solutions.
  • Create intricate test cases for prompt-driven, agentic, and retrieval-based AI workflows, ensuring robust validation of AI guardrails, business rules, permissions, and governance controls.
  • Build and maintain advanced automated test frameworks and evaluation pipelines for AI responses and workflows, integrating AI testing seamlessly into continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.
  • Implement automated quality scoring and regression detection mechanisms, and create reusable test data, mocks, simulators, and validation frameworks.
  • Test AI agents, workflows, APIs, complex system integrations, and tool-calling capabilities, validating integrations with external systems, data sources, and enterprise services.
  • Verify performance, reliability, scalability, and resiliency of AI workloads, including executing load and stress testing for AI services.
  • Collaborate proactively with software engineers, AI engineers, product owners, architects, and security teams, providing critical quality feedback during design reviews and development.
  • Contribute significantly to test strategy, quality standards, and best practices, and support production readiness reviews and defect triage activities.
  • Contribute to projects such as testing AI chat assistants and copilots, validating AI agent workflows, evaluating retrieval augmented generation (RAG) search quality, automating AI response evaluation frameworks, and performance testing AI services and orchestration platforms.

Must-Have Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field.
  • 3-6 years of experience in software testing, QA automation, or quality engineering.
  • Proven experience developing automated test solutions using Python, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, or C#.
  • Demonstrated experience with API testing and automation tools.
  • Strong understanding of test automation principles, the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), Agile methodologies, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Experience testing distributed systems, web applications, and APIs.
  • Proficiency in AI Testing concepts including Prompt Testing, Response Evaluation, Hallucination Detection, Agent Workflow Validation, RAG Validation, AI Safety Testing, AI Regression Testing, and AI Benchmarking.
  • Expertise in Quality Engineering practices such as Test Automation, API Testing, Integration Testing, Performance Testing, Load Testing, Security Testing, Defect Analysis, and Root Cause Investigation.
  • Familiarity with industry-standard tools and technologies like Selenium, Playwright, Postman, JUnit / PyTest, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Docker, and Kubernetes.

Nice-to-Have Qualifications
  • 1-3 years of exposure to AI/ML or Generative AI technologies.
  • Experience testing Generative AI applications, large language model (LLM)-based systems, AI agents, RAG applications, or complex platform integrations.
  • Familiarity with leading AI models and platforms.
  • Experience building evaluation and benchmarking frameworks for AI solutions.
  • Experience testing cloud-native applications on major cloud platforms.
