Senior QA Engineer

AI-Powered QA Engineer Role at XY.AI Labs

XY.AI Labs is a venture-backed startup on a mission to remove friction from healthcare. Our agentic AI platform combines purpose-built agents and intelligence layers to streamline complex operational workflows—giving healthcare providers back what matters most: time for care.

Build an AI-powered, fully-automated quality, evaluation, and release platform at a rocket-ship health-tech startup to support our rapidly evolving AI Agent orchestration platform.

You'll contribute to shaping our QA strategy while driving hands-on execution—designing self-healing test harnesses, spinning up LLM-driven evaluation pipelines, and weaving everything into a one-click GitHub Actions release flow.

We're hunting for a 10x, QA-obsessed full-stack engineer who already wields AI tools (Copilot, auto-test agents, code-gen) to amplify output and who thrives on turning blank slates into world-class systems. This is your canvas to experiment, take smart risks, and help scale quality from day 0 to Unicorn.

Key Responsibilities

AI-Enhanced Full-Stack Test Automation

• Build and maintain test infrastructure in Python (back-end) and Node/Next.js (front-end), instrumented with Pydantic models for type-safe data flows.
• Architect GitHub Actions pipelines that run unit, API, UI (Selenium/Playwright) and performance suites on every PR, auto-deploying to GCP or Azure test environments.
• Implement container-first test environments (Docker/K8s) and infrastructure-as-code for repeatable staging and blue/green releases.

Tooling & QA Best-Practice Leadership

• Codify modern QA processes—shift-left test design, flaky-test quarantine, branch-based quality gates.
• Craft living dashboards that surface coverage, MTTR, and AI performance drift metrics to Engineering & Product leadership.

LLM Evaluation & AI Quality

• Design prompt-stress suites, reference-answer graders, and automated hallucination/bias checks to guarantee safe, deterministic agent behavior.
• Stay tool-agnostic so we can adopt or sunset frameworks quickly as the LLM landscape evolves.

Autonomous Release Governance

• Act as final quality gatekeeper—own the go/no-go call, publish release notes, and champion progressive rollout strategies (canary, feature flags).

Growing the QA Practice

• Contribute to shaping our QA strategy and help establish peer code-review standards that propagate a culture of testability across all services.
• As the team grows, help onboard and mentor new QA team members.

What We're Looking For

1 Full-Stack Automation Mastery

5-7 years coding tests & prod code; expert in Python (PyTest, FastAPI) and JavaScript/TypeScript (Jest, Playwright). Deep GitHub Actions, Selenium, Docker/K8s on GCP & Azure.

2 QA Methodologies & CI/CD

Proven design of end-to-end automation frameworks, shift-left testing, and zero-downtime releases. Experience mentoring dev teams in quality practices.

3 AI / LLM Evaluation

Hands-on testing of ML or LLM features—prompt engineering, response grading, drift detection. Understanding of AI safety, bias, and data privacy.

4 Collaboration & Autonomy

Comfortable owning a charter, setting priorities with VP Eng/Product, and communicating trade-offs in plain English. Startup or 0→1 experience is strongly preferred.

You Might Be a Great Fit If...

You Have:

• Builder-Owner Mentality — you see constraints as creative fuel and bias toward shipping.
• Data-Driven Experimenter — you design hypotheses, measure, iterate.
• Mentor at Heart — eager to uplevel peers and cultivate a blameless, high-trust culture.

The Growth Path

Join as a key early member of the QA function, with opportunities to grow into senior technical or leadership roles as the team scales. You'll have the chance to explore emerging LLM-Ops tooling and help position XY as an industry pioneer in AI quality engineering.

Why Join Us

Build quality infrastructure from scratch at a production-grade AI agent system Build in a space with real-world urgency — billing errors = lost care Pioneer LLM evaluation techniques and define industry benchmarks Collaborate with a world-class team — we ship fast Your quality gates will protect healthcare operations used every single day
