WHY THIS ROLE IS IMPORTANT TO US
We are looking for a QA Automation Engineer to own and evolve the quality strategy for this product. The products risk sits in cross-service behavior where agent runs tool calls external integrations and cloud infrastructure meet. The role blends hands-on manual and exploratory testing of new features and AI behavior with designing and building the automated test system acceptance integration contract and post-deployment validation that lets the team ship quickly without breaking critical engineering workflows.
WHAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
As a QA Automation Engineer on this team you will:
Test strategy and hands-on testing
- Define and own the products test strategy across unit functional integration acceptance post-deployment and exploratory testing.
- Perform hands-on manual and exploratory testing of new features AI-agent behavior and edge cases before and alongside automation.
- Design approaches for testing non-deterministic AI/LLM behavior tool-use correctness and prompt regressions.
Automated coverage
- Build browser-level acceptance tests that cover key user journeys end to end from the UI down to persistence and background processing.
- Create validation for MCP endpoints including authentication flows client compatibility and tool schemas.
- Design contract and replay-based tests for critical external integrations where live systems are slow expensive or unstable.
- Strengthen test coverage for the highest-risk execution surfaces: sandboxed code execution and the agents remote sessions on user machines.
Release confidence and test infrastructure
- Add post-deployment smoke tests that catch environment configuration and identity failures giving rollback confidence.
- Introduce failure-injection scenarios service restarts network loss expired tokens rate limits to prove the product degrades gracefully.
- Improve test data fixtures fake connectors and CI test categorization; manage flaky tests and keep pipelines fast and trustworthy.
Collaboration and quality leadership
- Partner with engineers to make features testable and define acceptance criteria before implementation; mentor the team in testing practices.
- Monitor quality signals from CI static analysis telemetry production incidents and user feedback and build release-readiness reporting.
WHAT WE VALUE
- Most importantly you can see yourself contributing and thriving in the position described above. We expect you to be strong in several of the following and interested in learning the rest:
- Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science Engineering Mathematics or a related field.
- 6 years of experience in quality engineering / test automation for complex web and API platforms.
- Strong C#/.NET test development skills: xUnit/NUnit-style frameworks mocks and fakes test fixtures and CI integration.
- Solid experience with API and integration testing including authentication and distributed-system failure modes.
- Experience with browser automation such as Playwright Selenium or equivalent.
- Strong manual and exploratory testing skills and the ability to design test strategies rather than only execute predefined cases.
- Understanding of CI/CD pipelines test categorization flaky-test management and post-deployment smoke testing.
- Ability to investigate failures using logs traces telemetry screenshots and reproducible minimal scenarios.
- Experience testing AI/LLM products agentic workflows streaming responses or other non-deterministic behavior is a strong advantage.
- At least 1 year of hands-on experience using AI coding agents such as Claude Code or Codex in your daily work.
- Familiarity with open-source agents (e.g. OpenCode Hermes OpenClaw or similar) and how they behave in practice.
- Passion for the AI space and the flexibility to try new technologies: you stay on top of market trends and bring the ecosystems best practices better memory context management and agent autonomy into how we build and test the product.
- Working knowledge of Linux and containerized environments (Docker) enough to test and investigate sandboxed code execution is a solid advantage.
- Experience with Test containers contract testing Azure identity or Windows automation is a plus.
- Proven ability to lead quality direction influence engineers and raise the testing bar across a team.
- Excellent English communication skills both written and spoken.
