Our client is seeking an AI QA Engineer to ensure reliable, safe, and high-quality AI and data-driven systems in fast-paced, experimental projects.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Define and own the end-to-end QA strategy across UI, backend, data, and AI components.

• Design and implement test plans covering functional, non-functional, and behavioral requirements.

• Build automated and manual evaluation suites for LLMs, retrieval systems, and agent workflows.

• Conduct scenario-based tests, regression tests, and red-team exercises to uncover edge cases and risks.

• Validate data quality, embedding correctness, retrieval accuracy, and monitor for model drift or hallucinations.

• Define metrics, logs, dashboards, and alerts to monitor AI behavior, latency, cost, and errors.

• Detect and escalate reliability, bias, and performance issues early in the delivery cycle.

• Manage defect triage workflows, categorize failures across UI, API, data, and model layers, and ensure clear reproduction documentation.

• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to catch regressions early.

• Support pods in delivering safe, reliable, and stable AI behavior for all experimental and production features.

Requirements

• 3–6+ years of experience in QA, SDET, or evaluation-focused ML/AI testing, preferably with nondeterministic or probabilistic systems.

• Strong Python scripting skills for test automation, scenario evaluation, and defect detection.

• Experience with ML evaluation tools, LLM/RAG testing, or model benchmarking suites.

• Familiarity with vector databases, retrieval systems, multi-agent workflows, and AI pipelines.

• Understanding of CI/CD pipelines, DevOps tooling, and observability platforms.

• Ability to validate data correctness, embeddings, retrieval accuracy, and ranking/precision metrics.

• Strong instincts for edge cases, risk modes, adversarial failures, and failure-mode analysis.

• Curious, systematic, and detail-oriented mindset, with high ownership and discipline.

• Excellent communication skills for clear, actionable defect reporting.
