Onsite Contract IT & Technology

  • Own the quality strategy for teams shipping largely agent-generated code
  • Build and maintain automated test infrastructure across unit, integration, end-to-end, contract, API, performance, and regression testing
  • Define and operate evaluation frameworks for AI-powered features, including datasets, scoring systems, model-as-judge approaches, human calibration, regression tracking, and release gates
  • Design testing strategies for non-deterministic and agentic systems
  • Use AI coding agents to generate and maintain meaningful, risk-based test suites
  • Test agent behavior, including multi-step task execution, tool usage, failure recovery, safety enforcement, and human handoff workflows
  • Instrument production quality signals and use real-world feedback to improve evaluation and testing frameworks
  • Partner with engineering teams throughout the development lifecycle, from refinement through release

Requirements

  • 8+ years of industry experience in test automation or quality engineering
  • Strong programming skills in Python, TypeScript, Java, or C#
  • Track record supporting complex software products
  • Hands-on experience testing AI and model-based systems, including evaluation frameworks and model quality assessment
  • Ability to build and scale automated testing platforms, including CI/CD integration, test data strategies, framework development, and flaky test management
  • Strong understanding of evaluating agentic systems, including tool calling, multi-step workflows, safety mechanisms, and failure handling
  • Regular use of AI coding agents with critical review and accountability for generated software and test assets
  • Experience with API testing, performance testing, and at least one of desktop, web, or distributed backend platforms
  • Deep understanding of AI failure modes, including hallucinations, prompt injection, context degradation, non-determinism, and silent regressions
  • Practical experience with agentic development environments, MCP or comparable tooling, and repository-based management of prompts, instructions, and evaluation assets
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across distributed teams
  • Passion for helping shape a modern AI-native organization
