Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior QA Engineer with 812 years of expertise in architecting and executing comprehensive quality assurance strategies for complex cloud-native, data-driven, and AI-powered applications. The candidate will be responsible for ensuring the reliability, accuracy, and performance of large-scale systems that integrate real-time data processing and intelligent model insights.

The ideal candidate must possess an understanding of cloud infrastructure, data integrity validation, and also the challenges of testing AI/ML models. Should be an expert in designing automated frameworks using modern tools like Playwright or Cypress to validate high-bandwidth data flows and complex web/mobile interfaces.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and lead a comprehensive QA roadmap that covers data pipelines, AI model integration, and cloud-native backend services.
• 
  AI & Model Validation: Establish testing protocols to validate AI/ML model outputs, focusing on accuracy, performance benchmarking, and bias detection.
• Build and maintain scalable, Shift-Left automation frameworks using Playwright or Cypress to accelerate the CI/CD pipeline and ensure UI/UX consistency across platforms.
• Ensure the reliability of high-volume data flows by validating ingestion, processing, and storage across cloud-based data warehouses and real-time streams.
• Architect and execute load and stress testing to ensure the platform handles high concurrency and data-intensive workloads without degradation.
• Implement security testing standards to protect sensitive data and ensure all cloud communications meet industry encryption and authorization protocols.
• Root Cause Analysis: Utilize cloud monitoring and logging tools (such as Azure Monitor or Log Analytics) to identify and resolve complex system bottlenecks.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Data Scientists, Developers, and Product teams to define quality gates and ensure features are built for maximum testability.
• Define best practices for testing methodologies and mentor junior QA engineers in modern automation and data testing patterns.
