Job Description

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Test Automation Engineer to join the Agentic AI Squad within our AI Platform organization. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in designing, implementing, and maintaining automated test frameworks for complex distributed systems, with particular focus on AI/LLM-powered capabilities, agentic workflows, and high-scale backend services.

This role involves building robust automation pipelines, validating model-driven behaviors, ensuring system reliability through automated quality gates, and collaborating closely with AI Engineers and Architects to ensure end-to-end quality across the platform.

Key Responsibilities

Automation & Quality Engineering

  • Design, implement, and maintain scalable automated test suites for API, integration, end-to-end, and workflow-level testing of agentic AI systems.
  • Build automation frameworks that validate correctness, robustness, safety, and determinism in LLM-driven behaviors and multi-agent orchestration.
  • Develop synthetic datasets, fixtures, and mocks to replicate complex agentic scenarios and edge cases.

AI/LLM-Specific Testing

  • Implement automated evaluation pipelines for LLM outputs, including functional tests, regression checks, safety tests, and model-behavior verification.
  • Collaborate with AI Engineers to integrate model evaluation metrics (e.g., hallucination detection, grounding accuracy, response consistency) into CI/CD systems.
  • Validate prompt templates, agent tools, retrieval workflows, and chain-of-thought instrumentation.

Platform Integration

  • Work with backend and platform teams to ensure test coverage across microservices, feature flags, workflow orchestrators, and event-driven systems.
  • Contribute to testable system design and ensure new features include clear acceptance criteria and automation strategies.

CI/CD & Release Quality

  • Integrate automated testing pipelines into GitHub Actions (or equivalent), ensuring fast feedback cycles and continuous verification.
  • Implement quality gates, flakiness detection, and test result analytics to improve reliability and reduce manual QA overhead.
  • Participate in release readiness reviews and ensure that automated checks provide full coverage for functional and non-functional requirements.

Bug Reproducing and Root Cause Analysis

  • Understanding user feedback and reproducing bugs that have been submitted to the team
  • Performing root cause analysis to enable AI Engineers to work on bug fixes and providing guidance on acceptance criteria

 

    Qualifications

    Must-Have Qualifications

    Education

    • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

    Work Experience & Skills

    • 5+ years of experience in Test Automation Engineering, Software Development in Test (SDET), or similar roles.
    • Profound experience working with a Cloud Platform (Google Cloud Platform preferred)
    • Proven hands-on experience building automation frameworks at scale (Python or JavaScript/TypeScript preferred).
    • Strong experience testing distributed systems, microservices, asynchronous workflows, and APIs.
    • Familiarity with AI/LLM-based product testing, including prompt evaluation, workflow validation, or model-behavior testing.
    • Strong experience with CI/CD (GitHub Actions preferred).
    • Strong skills in debugging, root-cause analysis, and building reliable automation pipelines.
    • Excellent communication skills in English (written and spoken).
