Senior Quality Engineer – Test Automation, AI Testing & Java/Python

• Quality Engineer – Test Automation, Java/Python & GenAI

Roles and Responsibilities

• Partner with DevOps, Development, Product, and QE teams to design and execute exploratory, automated, and AI-focused tests that ensure product quality.
• Define quality strategies, test plans, test cases, and test data for functional, integration, system, regression, API, database, and acceptance testing.
• Design, develop, and maintain scalable test automation frameworks using Java, Python, or Groovy.
• Build automated tests for AI-enabled features, including prompt behavior, response accuracy, hallucination risks, safety, reliability, latency, and regression coverage.
• Validate AI integrations, APIs, microservices, data pipelines, model interactions, and third-party services.
• Establish testing approaches for both deterministic and non-deterministic AI behavior, including evaluation datasets, expected behavior, quality thresholds, and repeatability.
• Integrate automated testing and AI quality checks into CI/CD pipelines in partnership with DevOps teams.
• Use tools and frameworks such as Selenium, Cucumber/Gherkin, Playwright, RestAssured, JUnit, TestNG, ReadyAPI, and JMeter.
• Identify, document, prioritize, and track defects through resolution.
• Analyze test coverage, quality trends, AI evaluation results, and production feedback to identify gaps and drive continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with cross-functional Agile teams to deliver reliable, secure, and user-focused product features.
• Communicate test results, risks, quality metrics, and release recommendations clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Required Skills

• 5+ years of relevant experience in Quality Engineering, Quality Assurance, test automation, or software development.
• 5+ years of programming experience with Java, Python, Groovy, or a comparable language.
• 5+ years of experience building and maintaining test automation frameworks.
• Hands-on experience with Selenium, Cucumber/Gherkin, Playwright, RestAssured, or similar automation technologies.
