The Role
We are seeking a Senior Automation and AI-Driven Quality Engineer to design, implement, and scale intelligent quality, automation, and performance engineering solutions across enterprise-grade, AI-enabled platforms.

This role is hands-on and technically deep, with strong ownership across test automation, performance engineering, AI-assisted quality workflows, and SAFe-based delivery pipelines. You will work closely with product engineering, architecture, DevOps, and data/AI teams to embed Built-In Quality into every stage of the SDLC.

Your Impact

AI-Driven Quality Engineering

• Design and implement AI-driven quality automation solutions to improve test coverage &  defect detection.
• Apply ML/LLM-assisted techniques for test generation, intelligent test selection, prioritization, and regression optimization.
• Build automated quality signals that combine test results, telemetry, logs, and metrics to support data-driven release decisions.
• Drive shift-left and shift-right quality strategies, integrating automation with both pre-release pipelines and production monitoring.

Test Automation Engineering

• Architect and maintain scalable, modular automation frameworks for API, backend, and system-level testing using Python, Java, or TypeScript.
• Implement automation across distributed systems, microservices, and AI-enabled components.
• Integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins) with quality gates and release checks.
• Develop reusable test utilities, data orchestration tools, and environment-aware automation for complex enterprise deployments.
• Enable automation reporting and dashboards for engineering, QA, and leadership visibility.

Performance & Reliability Engineering

• Design and execute performance, load, and stress testing strategies for cloud-native and distributed systems.
• Establish performance baselines, SLAs/SLOs, and continuously validate system behavior under real-world workloads.
• Analyze performance bottlenecks using observability and APM tools (metrics, logs, traces).
• Collaborate with architecture and DevOps teams to improve scalability, resilience, and system reliability.
• Support production performance validation using telemetry-driven feedback loops.

SAFe & Cross-Team Collaboration

• Act as a senior technical contributor across Agile Release Trains (ARTs) in a SAFe environment.
• Partner with Product Owners, Architects, and RTEs to embed automation, performance, and quality objectives into PI Planning.
• Contribute to backlog refinement by defining automation and quality enablers.
• Lead root cause analysis for complex quality, performance, and reliability issues across teams.
• Mentor engineers on automation best practices, AI-assisted testing, and quality engineering principles.

What You'll Need

• BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• 5 -8 years of experience in software engineering, with strong focus on automation, quality engineering, or performance engineering.
• Strong programming skills in Python, Java, C#, or JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Hands-on experience building test automation frameworks and integrating them into CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with cloud platforms (Azure), microservices, and distributed systems.
• Solid understanding of Agile / SAFe delivery models and enterprise-scale software development.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and cross-team collaboration skills.

• Experience with AI/ML-assisted testing, LLM-based automation, or intelligent quality systems.
• Familiarity with performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, Gatling, K6) and observability stacks.
• Experience with containers (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), and Infrastructure as Code.
• Exposure to DevOps, reliability engineering, or production telemetry analysis.
• Prior experience working in AI-powered or data-driven product environments.
