POSITION SUMMARYWe are hiring a Quality Engineer to help shape how quality is engineered in an AI-driven development environment. Quality Engineers at Wellspring operate with a high degree of autonomy and technical ownership, with meaningful cross-team influence. This role is ideal for an engineer who wants to remain hands-on, technically deep, and influential in shaping modern, AI-driven quality practices.
What You'll DoAutomated Quality Engineering- Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites using Playwright
- Develop and maintain performance and load tests using JMeter
- Create reusable test utilities, data strategies, and scalable testing patterns
- Build and curate the shared foundation that AI-assisted authoring depends on so generated tests come out consistent
- Keep the suite healthy as authoring volume increases
AI-Driven Quality Practices- Use AI-assisted tools to generate, refine, and maintain test cases, and test data
- Direct coding agents through the full authoring loop providing context and reviewing output
- Review generated tests with a critical eye for the ways they fail quietly
- Use AI to find coverage gaps and propose edge cases, then apply your own judgment about which ones carry real risk
- Use AI-assisted triage as a first pass on failures, separating likely regressions from flakes
- Apply self-healing and auto-repair tooling deliberately, with guardrails, recognizing that a test which silently repairs itself can mask a genuine product regression
- Apply risk-based testing to focus effort on business-critical and defect-prone areas
- Validate AI-enabled product behavior for correctness, reliability, and unintended outcomes
- Feed recurring defect and failure patterns back into shared context and conventions so the same class of miss does not recur
CI/CD & Engineering Integration- Integrate automated tests into GitHub Actions-based CI/CD pipelines
- Partner with Engineering and DevOps to improve pipeline quality gates
- Manage test scope and execution sequencing to balance coverage, risk, and feedback time
- Write tests and failure output that are legible to agents as well as engineers
- Ensure quality gates hold as change volume increases, so higher delivery throughput does not quietly become higher-confidence mistakes
Quality Leadership & Collaboration- Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Architecture to clarify requirements and identify quality risks early
- Propose and drive solutions to technical and testing challenges with cross-functional partners
- Help establish team standards for AI-driven test authoring
- Document and communicate testing strategies, tradeoffs, and outcomes
What We're Looking ForRequired Experience & Skills- Experience as a Quality Engineer, SDET, or Test Automation Engineer on production systems
- Strong hands-on experience with Playwright (UI and API testing)
- Experience with performance and load testing using JMeter or similar tools
- Solid programming skills in TypeScript/JavaScript, C#, Java, or Python
- Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, preferably GitHub Actions
- Working knowledge of modern architectures, including web applications, APIs, and cloud-based systems
- Demonstrated, sustained daily use of at least one modern AI-assisted development tool
- Ability to critically review AI-generated tests and code - identifying shallow coverage, incorrect assumptions, and plausible-looking output that does not hold up
Ways You'll Stand Out- Experience testing AI-enabled or data-driven systems
- Experience designing automation frameworks or shared testing infrastructure
- Familiarity with observability, monitoring, or quality metrics beyond pass/fail testing
- Experience building evaluation harnesses or test strategies for non-deterministic systems
- Experience structuring context for AI tooling - prompt design, retrieval, or packaging codebase and domain knowledge for code and test generation
- A point of view on where AI-assisted testing genuinely helps
