• Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to ensure quality throughout the development lifecycle
• Drive test automation development, including framework improvements, tool selection, and CI/CD integration
• Introduce AI-assisted tools for test case generation, test data creation and test automation, and measure their impact on coverage and speed
• Use AI coding agents to speed up writing and maintaining automated tests, and set review standards for AI-generated test code
• Apply AI to analyse test results, cluster flaky tests and failures, and speed up root-cause analysis
• Establish quality processes for AI features in the product, such as LLM-based functionality, chatbots or recommendations
• Coach the QA team on effective prompting and safe use of AI tools

Requirements

• Experience with Jira, Confluence, and Git
• Hands-on experience using AI tools in daily QA work, for example AI coding assistants or LLMs for test design and analysis
• Understanding of the limits of AI-generated tests, including hallucinated assertions, missing edge cases and false confidence in coverage
• Ability to evaluate and pilot new AI testing tools and build a business case for adopting them
• Awareness of data privacy and security risks when sharing code, logs or customer data with AI services
• Good English, both spoken and written

Nice to have
