Summary

AI Test Lead 100% Remote 

Job Description

Hands-on quality engineering lead or Senior AI Tester responsible for reverse-engineering application behavior, establishing missing system integration regression coverage, designing AI assisted test generation workflows and proving that agent driven modernization preserves functional, integration, security and operational behavior.

Required Skills - 7-10 Years of QA/SDET/QE experience with strong automation and AI testing skills.

• Good experience with AI Assisted QE, system integration testing.

Strong SDET/quality engineering background with hands on automation of APIs, integrations, UI and end to end enterprise workflows.

• Demonstrated use of AI/agentic tools to generate, refine, review, or maintain test scenarios and automation not merely general chatbot usage.

• Experience creating regression, system integration coverage for applications with incomplete or outdated test suites.

• Strong knowledge of test strategy, risk-based testing, test design, traceability, defect management, root-cause analysis and CI/CD quality gates.

• Hands on experience with modern automation tools such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, REST/API automation, or equivalent; ability to choose tools based on architecture.

• Working knowledge of Java/.NET application behavior, databases/SQL, APIs, middleware,

authentication/authorization, and enterprise integration patterns.

• Understanding of LDAP and token-based authentication concepts sufficient to design security and role/authorization test scenarios.

• Ability to evaluate nondeterministic AI outputs with repeatable acceptance criteria, structured evaluation, and human verification.

 

Job Duties -

Assess each application's existing test assets, business-critical flows, integrations, data

dependencies, security behavior and regression risk before modernization begins.

• Reverse-engineer system behavior with developers and AI agents, then create a risk-based system

integration and regression strategy where adequate suites do not already exist.

• Design and build executable test suites in enterprise test management/automation tooling (for

example Xray-style suites), beyond developer-only unit/JUnit coverage.

• Create, refine and govern AI agents/skills that assist with test scenario generation, test data design,

coverage analysis, traceability, defect triage and regression maintenance.

• Define test coverage for runtime/framework upgrades, dependency changes, OS/middleware

changes, database/integration impacts, and LDAP-to-Okta/token-based security changes.

• Establish quality gates for agent-generated code and modernization changes, including functional,

integration, API, security, negative, compatibility, performance-smoke and deployment validation

as appropriate.

• Lead testers embedded in delivery pods, assign test work, review automation, coach AI-assisted

testing practices and remain hands on for complex flows.

• Partner with Development Leads to ensure technical specifications are testable and that

acceptance criteria include measurable verification and rollback conditions.

• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD where feasible and provide rapid, trustworthy feedback on

modernization changes.

• Drive defect root cause analysis and distinguish application defects, environment issues, test data

issues, dependency incompatibility and AI agent errors.

• Track escaped defects, automation coverage, execution reliability, agent generated test quality,

rework, and regression effectiveness; use findings to improve skills/agents.
