Requirements to Qualify

• You've designed testing infrastructure that supports rapid product iteration with a small engineering team.
• You've worked on testing AI-powered products, including nondeterministic behaviors, model evaluations, or agentic workflows.
• You think about quality as an engineering platform rather than a separate phase of software delivery.
• You can move comfortably between writing automation code, investigating complex failures, and designing company-wide quality systems.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD, integration testing, contract testing, regression strategies, and test infrastructure.
• Proven experience designing scalable testing systems rather than exclusively writing or maintaining individual test cases.
• AI-native engineering habits: You already use AI coding agents extensively and have practical experience applying AI to test generation, automation, debugging, or quality workflows.
