Functional AI Tester - GenAI

- - - - - - - - - - - -

We are seeking a Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer focused on testing Generative AI (GenAI) applications with a strong emphasis on Python-based test automation, GenAI evaluation, and ETL/data quality validation. You will design and execute end-to-end test strategies that ensure our AI solutions are accurate, reliable, safe, and compliant.

About the Role

You will be involved in QA for GenAI features including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), conversational AI and Agentic evaluations. The role centers on:

- Systematic GenAI evaluation (qualitative and quantitative metrics)

- ETL and data quality testing for the data flows that feed AI systems

- Python-driven automated testing

This position is hands-on and collaborative, partnering with AI engineers, data engineers, and product teams to define measurable acceptance criteria and ship high-quality AI features.

Key Responsibilities

- Test strategy and planning

- Define risk-based test strategies and detailed test plans for GenAI features.

- Establish transparent acceptance criteria with stakeholders for functional, safety, and data quality aspects.

- Python test automation

- Build and maintain automated test suites using Python (e.g., PyTest, requests).

- Implement reusable utilities for prompt/response validation, dataset management, and result scoring.

- Create regression baselines and golden test sets to detect quality drift.

- GenAI evaluation

- Develop evaluation harnesses covering factuality, coherence, helpfulness, safety, bias, and toxicity etc.

- Design prompt suites, scenario-based tests,



and golden datasets for reproducible measurements.

- Implement guardrail tests including prompt-injection resilience, unsafe content detection, and PII redaction checks.

- Track quality metrics over time.

- RAG and semantic retrieval testing

- Verify alignment between retrieved sources and generated answers.

- Verify adversarial tests.

- Measure retrieval relevance, precision/recall, grounding quality, and hallucination reduction.

- API and application testing

- Test REST endpoints supporting GenAI features (request/response contracts, error handling, timeouts).

- ETL and data quality validation

- Test ingestion and transformation logic validate schema, constraints, and field-level rules.

- Implement data profiling, reconciliation between sources and targets, and lineage checks.

- Verify data privacy controls, masking, and retention policies across pipelines.

- Non-functional testing

- Performance and load testing focused on latency, throughput, concurrency, and rate limits for LLM calls.

- Cost-aware testing (token usage, caching effectiveness) and timeout/retry behavior validation.

- Reliability and resilience checks including error recovery and fallback behavior.





- Share results and insights recommend remediation and preventive actions.

Required Qualifications

- Experience

- 5+ years in software QA, including test strategy, automation, and defect management.

- 2+ years testing AI/ML or GenAI features, with hands-on evaluation design.

- 4+ years testing ETL/data pipelines and data quality.

- Technical skills

- Python: Strong proficiency building automated tests and tooling (PyTest, requests, pydantic or similar).

- API testing: REST contract testing, schema validation, negative testing.

- GenAI evaluation: crafting prompt suites, golden datasets, rubric-based scoring, and automated evaluation pipelines.

- RAG testing: retrieval relevance, grounding validation, chunking/indexing verification, and embedding checks.

- ETL/data quality: schema and constraint validation, reconciliation, lineage awareness, data profiling.

- Quality and governance

- Understanding of LLM limitations and methods to detect/reduce hallucinations.

- Safety and compliance testing including PII handling and prompt-injection resilience.

- Strong analytical and debugging skills across services and data flows.

- Soft skills

- Excellent written and verbal communication ability to translate quality goals into measurable criteria.

- Collaboration with AI engineers, data engineers, and product stakeholders.

- Organized, detail-oriented, and outcomes-focused.

Nice to Have

- Experience with evaluation frameworks or tooling for LLMs and RAG quality measurement.

Experience creating synthetic datasets to stress specific behaviors.
