About the role

Responsibilities

• Own QA strategy and execution for agentic AI and core ecommerce flows (definition of done, quality gates, release readiness).


• Define and roll out QA processes from scratch: test planning, risk assessment, defect triage, reporting, and continuous improvement.


• Lead cross-team alignment on quality standards and drive adoption through coaching and clear workflows.


• Design test architecture across unit/integration/contract/E2E, with a focus on reliability, maintainability, and signal quality.


• Build and maintain automation and CI/CD integration; reduce flakiness and improve time-to-signal.


• Define AI-specific validation for agent workflows: tool-calling paths, multi-step journeys, failure handling, regressions, and guardrails.


• Partner on system design to identify bottlenecks and failure modes; propose changes that improve testability, observability, and resilience. 

Requirements 

• 5+ years in QA / quality engineering for modern web products (APIs + UI).


• Strong coding skills and hands-on automation experience (language flexible; Python/TypeScript common).


• Proven track record of building QA processes and test strategy from scratch in a fast-moving environment.


• Strong leadership and ownership: can organize work across teams, set direction, and drive execution without formal authority.


• Solid CI/CD experience: test automation in pipelines, quality gates, environment strategy, and test data management.


• Strong engineering mindset and system design skills; able to reason about distributed systems and propose pragmatic improvements.
