We are looking for a Senior SDET / AI Quality Engineer to design, build, and evolve automation strategies for modern software platforms, including AI-powered and agentic applications. This role requires a strong engineering mindset, deep automation expertise, and the ability to drive quality across the entire software development lifecycle.

Possess practical experience with automation frameworks, API testing, CI/CD quality practices, and emerging AI validation techniques. You will collaborate with engineering, product, and AI teams to ensure the reliability, correctness, security, and scalability of complex systems.

Responsibilities:

Design, develop, and maintain scalable automation frameworks for UI, API, integration, and end-to-end testing.

Build automation solutions using modern testing frameworks and programming languages.

Own quality engineering practices across the SDLC, from requirements validation to production monitoring.

Develop automated test strategies for AI-powered applications, including agentic workflows, tool usage, decision paths, and failure scenarios.

Validate AI system behavior across deterministic and non-deterministic scenarios.

Create test approaches for LLM-based systems, including prompt validation, response quality evaluation, regression testing, and guardrail verification.

Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and establish quality gates.

Collaborate with developers and architects to improve system reliability, observability, and maintainability.

Identify gaps in testing processes and proactively introduce improvements.

Mentor engineers and promote automation and quality engineering best practices.

Must-Have Qualifications:

5+ years of experience in Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET), Quality Engineering, or Automation Engineering roles.

Strong automation engineering background with hands-on experience designing and maintaining test frameworks.

Advanced experience with Playwright for UI automation and end-to-end testing.

Strong API testing experience including REST APIs, integrations, contracts, and service validation.

Experience creating automation pipelines integrated with CI/CD platforms.

Strong programming skills in Java, Python, TypeScript, or similar languages.

Experience building maintainable automation code using software engineering best practices.

Experience testing distributed systems and complex application workflows.

Experience testing AI-powered or agentic applications, including:

Workflow correctness validation.

Agent decision flows.

Tool/function calling validation.

Failure recovery scenarios.

Safety and reliability testing.

Strong analytical skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues.

Ownership mindset with the ability to independently drive quality initiatives.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with LLM evaluation frameworks and AI quality methodologies.

Experience validating prompts, workflows, AI responses, and model behavior.

Knowledge of AI guardrails, safety testing, and responsible AI practices.

Experience testing retrieval-based systems (RAG), embeddings, vector search, and knowledge-grounded responses.

Experience designing tests for non-deterministic systems.

Exposure to performance, scalability, resilience, and chaos testing.

Experience with observability testing, including logs, metrics, traces, and monitoring strategies.

Experience with service virtualization, mocks, synthetic data generation, and test environment management.

Experience testing cloud-native architectures and distributed/event-driven systems.

Familiarity with platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.

Experience mentoring engineers and establishing QE standards across teams.
