• Develop automated tests for prompts, AI workflows, tool calling, structured outputs, and LLM response quality.
• Develop and maintain automated test coverage for XAA, validating functionality, integrations, error handling, and reliability across supported workflows.
• Build reusable test utilities, mocks, test harnesses, and developer productivity tools.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and troubleshoot flaky tests, failures, and infrastructure issues.
• Leverage GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and other GenAI tools for test generation, debugging, and framework development.
• Collaborate with developers, architects, and platform teams to improve quality, reliability, and release confidence.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• 5–8 years of experience in SDET, software testing, test infrastructure, or software engineering.
• Strong programming skills in at least one language: TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Java, or Go.
• Experience building automation frameworks, reusable libraries, or developer tools.
• Strong understanding of SDK testing, integration testing, regression testing, and compatibility testing.
