Agentic QA Engineer - Generative AI & Multi-Agent Systems

Title: QA Engineer, Agentic AI Systems (Multi-Agent Testing)



Location: Dallas, TX | Long-term contract

Why This Role Exists
Agentic AI is already running in production here, and it needs someone who can prove it works. You'll set the testing approach for multi-agent systems - how resiliency, accuracy, latency, orchestration correctness, and behavior at scale actually get measured - and hold that standard from first commit to production. Frameworks, harnesses, and the QA function itself are yours to build, working directly with the Agentic Operations group. This is a build-it-yourself role, not an oversight one.

Where You'll Spend Your Time

Setting the Bar

• The QA strategy for agentic and multi-agent systems is yours to define and defend across development, staging, and production
• Coach QA engineers and put real testing standards, harness coding guidelines, and review practice in place
• Work alongside Data Science, MLOps, and Platform teams to weave QA into the SDLC and into incident response

Testing the Agent Layer

• Write the tests that exercise agent orchestration, tool calling, planner-executor loops, and coordination between agents - how tasks get decomposed, whether handoffs stay intact, whether the system converges on its goal
• Check that state management, context windows, memory and knowledge stores, and prompt and graph correctness hold up as conditions shift
• Prove the orchestrator does what it claims under DAG execution, retries, branching, timeouts, and compensation paths

Proving Correctness

• Stand up ground-truth and reference pipelines that measure task accuracy through exact match, semantic similarity, and factuality checks
• Create macro validation frameworks that can judge outcomes across multi-step agent workflows, generation-plus-verification loops included
• Wire in guardrail checks for toxicity, PII, hallucination, and policy compliance

Breaking It on Purpose

• Fuzz the scenarios: adversarial inputs, prompt perturbations, tool latency spikes, degraded APIs
• Assemble resilience suites covering chaos experiments, failover, retry and backoff, circuit-breaking, and degraded-mode behavior
• Establish latency SLOs, then measure end-to-end response time across LLM calls, tool invocations, and queues
• Keep reliability honest with soak tests, canary verification, and automated rollback

Under Load

• Build load and stress tests that push multi-agent graphs on concurrency, throughput, queue depth, and backpressure

Shipping Safely

• Produce test artifacts other engineers can reuse - scenario configs, synthetic datasets, prompt libraries, agent graph fixtures, simulators
• Push testing into CI/CD as pre-merge gates, nightly runs, and canaries, and into production monitoring with alerting tied to KPIs
• Own release criteria and operational readiness across performance, security, compliance, and cost/latency budgets

What It Takes

Non-Negotiables

• 7+ years across software QA and testing, 2+ of them on AI/ML or LLM-based systems, with agentic and multi-agent architectures you have personally tested
• Python at a level where you've shipped your own test harnesses, simulators, and fixtures
• Real LLM evaluation experience - exact and soft match, BLEU/ROUGE, BERTScore, embedding-based semantic similarity - alongside guardrail and prompt testing
• Distributed systems testing chops: latency profiling, resiliency patterns including circuit breakers and retries, chaos engineering, message queues
• Hands-on with at least one orchestration framework: LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, DSPy, OpenAI Assistants/Actions, Azure OpenAI orchestration, or something comparable
• Comfortable inside CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) and observability stacks (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana, Datadog), plus feature flags and canaries
• A working grip on privacy, security, and compliance for AI systems - PII handling, content policy, model safety
• Communication and leadership range to hold your own across Operations, Data, and Engineering

Bonus Points

• Multi-agent simulators, agent graph testing, and tooling latency emulation
• MLOps depth - model versioning, dataset management, evaluation pipelines - plus A/B experimentation for LLMs
• AWS, serverless, containerization, and event-driven architecture
• You've carried cost, latency, or SLA targets for production AI workloads before
