Job description

  • Own the end-to-end quality strategy for a new AI-first web application, spanning the prompt and agent layer, the in-browser experience, and the generated output.
  • Compose, build, and maintain modern web test automation (Playwright / Cypress, TypeScript/JavaScript) and the underlying infrastructure that keeps it fast, deterministic, and developer-friendly.
  • Stand up evaluation harnesses for automated workflows: golden prompt suites, regression baselines, model/version comparisons, hallucination and safety checks, and human-in-the-loop review pipelines.
  • Ensure comprehensive quality for a real-time web product - performance, resilience, accessibility (WCAG), and cross-browser/cross-device coverage.
  • Embed quality into CI/CD: build release gates that catch real regressions, reduce flake, and turn production telemetry into pre-submit signal.
  • Work closely with engineering, product, and design to build testability into the process early. Guide engineers on test strategy, automation patterns, and adopting a shift-left outlook.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science or a related field.
  • 8+ years of experience in customer -facing software quality / SDET positions
  • Automation experience with modern web frameworks (Playwright, Cypress, or similar) and strong coding skills in TypeScript/JavaScript; comfort with Python is a plus.
  • Experience designing test strategy for AI / ML / LLM-powered features -prompt regression, evaluation datasets, model drift, timely-injection and safety testing, or equivalent.
  • Strong fundamentals in API testing, performance and load testing, and observability tooling (Datadog, Splunk, Sentry, OpenTelemetry, or similar).
  • Excellent collaboration and communication; able to influence engineers and PMs early in the build cycle.
  • Embrace generative and AI-assisted development workflows, and be eager to learn and adapt as the tooling continues to evolve.
  • Thrive in a fast-paced, agile, founding-team environment with real ambiguity.
  • Prior experience with creative tools, design-to-code, browser-based graphics (Canvas/WebGL), or real-time collaboration stacks.
