• Drive the release process: define release criteria, coordinate go/no-go decisions with Engineering, QA (Staff SDET), and Product, and manage production deployments across services.  
• Manage the dependency interface to the T1 Agentic Engine team: track which Intent, Skill, Policy, and MCP tool registrations are ready, which are blocked, and what the critical path impact is.  
• Continuously improve the delivery system: identify bottlenecks in the engineering process, drive retrospectives, and implement changes that sustainably increase throughput and quality.

Skills & Qualifications 

• 12+ years of technical program management experience, with at least 3 years at Staff level managing multi team programs at SaaS or platform companies.  
• Strong technical depth: able to read architecture diagrams, understand Kafka dependency graphs, evaluate API contract blockers, and participate credibly in engineering design discussions.  
• Proven experience managing complex, multi-team delivery programs with many external dependencies — including platform dependencies outside your direct control.  
• Expert facilitation of engineering delivery rituals: sprint planning, dependency reviews, release gates, post mortems, and architecture syncs.  
• Deep understanding of AI-native product delivery: what makes AI system delivery different from traditional software (eval requirements, model versioning, non-deterministic outputs, golden dataset dependencies).  
• Excellent written communication: can produce a crisp, executive-readable status update that tells the truth clearly and drives decisions.  
• Strong stakeholder management across Engineering, Product, Design, and Executive levels — comfortable managing up, across, and down.  

 
Good to Have  

• Experience managing delivery programs that involve both Java microservices and Python AI/ML engineering teams simultaneously.  
• Familiarity with agentic AI platform concepts: intent registries, MCP tools, skill/policy authoring, and eval frameworks — enough to track technical dependency status accurately.  
• Background in automotive retail technology or dealer management systems.  
• Prior experience working in a US-India distributed engineering organization.

• Perform automated backend checks as opportunities progress through different pipeline stages from Lead to Revenue realization.
• API & Integration Testing:
• Build and maintain robust API validation suites using Rest Assured or similar frameworks, covering all RESTful interfaces connecting Salesforce, Integrated system, and NetSuite.
• Validate integration points and data exchange between systems.
• Mobile Test Automation:
• Create and execute automated mobile tests (Appium, Espresso, XCUITest) for mobile components of business processes (if applicable).
• AI-Driven QA:
• Leverage AI-powered test automation tools and approaches to optimize and expand test coverage.
• Design and manage automated validation of Large Language Model (LLM) or Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-enabled workflows.
• DevOps Integration:
• Integrate automated E2E and component tests into CI/CD pipelines for continuous validation.

QA Leadership:

• Mentor team members in test strategy for multi-system, E2E automation.
• Review test plans and ensure adoption of QA best practices for cross-platform business process validation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Salesforce admins, implementation engineers, ERP developers) to ensure quality across business processes.

Requirements

• 8+ years’ automation QA experience, with proven E2E validation across business process systems.
• Hands-on experience automating tests across Salesforce, middleware/implementation platforms, and ERP systems like NetSuite.
• Advanced SQL query skills for backend data validation and reconciliation.
• Strong experience with API automation (Rest Assured or similar) and automated UI testing tools.
• Experience with mobile automation frameworks (Appium, Espresso, XCUITest, etc.).
• Familiarity or experience with AI/LLM/RAG or willingness to learn and implement.
• Proficient with CI/CD, Agile workflows, and test automation best practices.
• Excellent analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills.

Job Description

We are looking for a Senior QA Engineer / SDET to drive quality across our AI-native backend services and platform systems. You will own test automation strategy, release quality gates, and quality engineering practices — working closely with backend engineers (Java + Python), product managers, and platform architects. This role focuses heavily on validating hexagonal architecture adapters, Kafka event pipelines, multi-database correctness, and AI scoring model outputs.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and scale automated test frameworks for Java microservices built on hexagonal architecture — with distinct test strategies for the domain core, adapter layers (MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Cosmos DB, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Redis/Aerospike), and external integrations.

• Develop and maintain comprehensive test suites: functional, integration (Testcontainers), regression, contract, and end-to-end across all adapter implementations.

• Validate Kafka event pipelines: consumer behavior, event ordering, idempotency, poison pill handling, and dead-letter queue processing. 

• Validate MongoDB document integrity, PostgreSQL relational consistency, Cosmos DB partition correctness, and Elasticsearch index accuracy across service boundaries.

• Design and execute golden dataset test scenarios — seeding realistic dealer and customer data to validate scoring accuracy, suppression correctness, and attribution logic.

• Validate Python-based AI/ML service outputs: scoring model results, recommendation correctness, and LLM response safety gates. 

• Collaborate closely with backend engineers and architects to embed quality early in hexagonal domain design and adapter implementation.

• Drive testability improvements by influencing API design, logging, observability, and error handling.

• Own release quality and go/no-go decisions by defining and tracking quality gates in CI/CD pipelines.

• Define and monitor quality metrics: test coverage, defect leakage, flakiness, MTTR, and automation ROI. 

• Lead root cause analysis for production issues and drive preventive measures.

• Mentor junior QA/SDET engineers and set best practices across teams.

Skills & Experience

• 6+ years of hands-on experience in QA Engineering, Test Automation, or SDET roles.

• Strong test automation expertise using modern Java-based frameworks; working knowledge of Python test frameworks (pytest) is a strong plus.

• Deep experience testing distributed microservices, REST APIs, and Kafka-based architectures.

• Experience with Testcontainers for integration testing across MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Kafka, and Elasticsearch locally.

• Strong understanding of Kafka testing: consumer behavior, event ordering guarantees, and idempotency validation.

• Experience with MongoDB and PostgreSQL testing patterns: data integrity, schema migration validation, multi-tenant isolation verification.

• Familiarity with Elasticsearch test strategies: index correctness, relevance, and query result validation.

• Experience with CI/CD pipeline integration (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or equivalent).

• Familiarity with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.

Preferred Skills

• Experience validating AI/ML model outputs and scoring pipeline correctness.

• Exposure to contract testing (Pact or similar) and service virtualization for hexagonal adapter boundaries.

• Experience with performance, load, and chaos testing (JMeter, Gatling, k6) against Elasticsearch and Kafka.

• Background in DevOps or Site Reliability Engineering practices.
