• The successful candidate will contribute directly to product quality while helping the team adopt repeatable AI-assisted approaches that improve test design, automation coverage, exploratory testing, defect investigation, release confidence, and technical documentation. We are looking for someone who takes ownership of quality throughout the development lifecycle and collaborates closely with software engineers, product owners, and other members of an Agile feature team.

Responsibilities

• Champion AI-first quality engineering practices, leveraging AI-powered tools and agents to accelerate testing, improve coverage, and enhance software quality.
• Develop and maintain automated testing frameworks and quality validation solutions across API, integration, end-to-end, performance, security, and scalability testing layers.
• Define and execute risk-based testing strategies for cloud-native SaaS applications built on C#/.NET and Microsoft Azure technologies.
• Partner closely with engineers, product managers, and architects throughout the development lifecycle to embed quality into design, implementation, and release decisions.
• Create reusable AI-assisted testing workflows, prompts, and quality guardrails that drive consistent, efficient, and responsible engineering practices.
• Validate enterprise software solutions that integrate with Microsoft technologies, including Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Active Directory, Exchange, SharePoint, and related services.
• Drive continuous improvement of product quality by contributing to CI/CD pipelines, quality gates, test environments, observability, defect prevention, and Agile delivery processes.
