About the job you're considering

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to join our next-gen Quality Engineering team. This role is ideal for engineers who go beyond traditional automation and actively experiment with LLMs, agentic workflows, and AI-assisted testing to solve complex quality challenges.

You will help build intelligent, self-evolving test systems that leverage generative AI, prompt engineering, and autonomous agents to transform how software quality is validated at scale.

What sets you apart

  • You actively build side projects or contribute to open-source in automation or AI testing.

  • You are curious about how LLMs can replace or augment traditional QA practices.

  • You think in terms of systems, not just test cases-focusing on scalability, intelligence, and efficiency.

  • You are comfortable working in fast-evolving, ambiguous problem spaces and enjoy pushing boundaries.

Your role

  • Design and build AI-powered test automation solutions, including prompt-driven and LLM-assisted validation workflows.

  • Develop and enhance automation frameworks across UI, API, and distributed systems, with a focus on scalability and reusability.

  • Build self-healing and adaptive test solutions using AI techniques (e.g., dynamic locators, test generation, anomaly detection).

  • Experiment with and integrate agentic frameworks (LangChain, Semantic Kernel, AutoGPT, etc.) for autonomous test execution and orchestration.

  • Contribute to test generation using LLMs-converting requirements, user stories, or logs into executable test cases.

  • Integrate AI-driven testing into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous, intelligent quality validation.

  • Collaborate closely with developers, DevOps, and AI/ML engineers to embed testing early in the development lifecycle.

  • Analyze failures using logs, telemetry, and AI-assisted debugging techniques to accelerate root cause identification.

Your skills and experience

  • 1-5 years of experience in test automation, with strong coding skills and a passion for innovation.

  • Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Python (preferred), Java, or JavaScript.

  • Hands-on experience with modern automation frameworks (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or similar with MCP).

  • Proven interest in AI-driven testing, demonstrated through projects, GitHub contributions, research, or coursework.

  • Practical exposure to LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Hugging Face), including prompt engineering or API-based integrations.

  • Familiarity with agentic or orchestration frameworks (LangChain, AutoGPT, Semantic Kernel, etc.) is strongly preferred.

  • Experience with API testing and service validation (Postman, RestAssured, or similar tools).

  • Understanding of CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, and version control (Git).

  • Working knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerization (Docker) is a plus.

  • Strong analytical mindset with the ability to experiment, prototype, and rapidly learn new technologies.
