Key Responsibilities

Design comprehensive test architecture – plan unit, integration, E2E, and semantic validation test suites that cover the full pipeline from profile intake through roadmap generation; define coverage targets and acceptance criteria

Build semantic validation harnesses for AI outputs – design golden-set test cases (5–8 CISO-approved reference profiles) that measure AI stage precision/recall, rigor-tier correctness, floor-control invariants, traceability completeness, and run-to-run stability; a semantic regression blocks merge

Implement access-control testing – design automated probes at API and database layers that verify cross-tenant isolation; simulate compromised sessions and verify RLS policies enforce tenant boundaries

Design and maintain CI/CD quality gates – build automated test runners that execute on every commit: unit tests, integration tests, schema validation, migration guards, image scanning, access-control probes; red builds block merge

Lead test automation practices – expand automation frameworks and practices; identify opportunities for improving test processes; recommend tools and technologies for testing efficiency

Collaborate across the team – serve as the QA voice in technical design reviews; flag testability issues early; work with the AI/LLM Lead to define what "correct" means for each pipeline stage

Mentor junior test engineers – guide the team on test design, semantic validation, and CI/CD best practices; share knowledge on testing AI systems where reproducibility is critical

Own test documentation and reporting – maintain clear test plans, results, and traceability matrices; report test coverage and quality metrics to leadership; communicate blockers and risks transparently

Test strategy, planning, execution, and maintenance

Comprehensive test documentation and traceability

Advanced test automation (custom frameworks, advanced scripting)

Advanced proficiency in a programming language relevant to test automation:

Python (primary for this engagement; Pytest, async testing)

Or Java, C#, Go

Deep knowledge of databases and SQL – execute complex data validation, verify multi-tenant isolation at the DB layer, test RLS policies

CI/CD pipeline expertise – understand how tests integrate into automated deployment workflows; experience optimizing test execution for speed and reliability

Understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies – ability to drive QA strategies in rapid, iterative development cycles

Proficiency in defect tracking (Jira or equivalent)

Proven leadership – mentor junior engineers, advocate for quality standards, drive process improvements

Security testing practices – knowledge of OWASP vulnerabilities, experience with security testing tools (OWASP ZAP, Fortify)

Test-driven development (TDD) and behavior-driven development (BDD) – familiarity with Gherkin, Cucumber, or equivalent

Experience testing multi-tenant systems – understanding of isolation, RLS, and cross-tenant security validation

Experience with AI/ML systems – familiarity with testing LLM outputs, semantic validation, and consistency guarantees

API testing – REST/GraphQL endpoint validation, contract testing

Experience in regulated environments – audit logging, reproducibility, compliance testing

Demonstrated track record of process improvement – initiated and led projects that enhanced quality, reduced costs, or improved efficiency
