V&V Engineer – AI - Driven Testing & Validation

Key Responsibilities:

AI/ML & LLM Development/Validation:

• Lead end-to-end quality engineering for enterprise AI applications, including LLM-powered products, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows.

• Design and execute prompt validation strategies, evaluating LLM responses for accuracy, semantic relevance, hallucination risk, and safety compliance.

• Build automated evaluation pipelines for AI model outputs using metrics such as BLEU, ROUGE, embedding-based similarity, precision, recall, and F1-score.

• Validate agentic systems (tool use, multi-step reasoning, planner-executor workflows) for correctness, determinism, and failure mode handling.

Test Automation & Frameworks:

• Architect and maintain Python-based automation frameworks for AI/ML model evaluation, regression testing, and continuous model quality monitoring.

• Integrate AI testing into CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated evaluation of model updates, prompt changes, and dataset revisions before release.

• Develop reusable test harnesses for prompt regression, golden-set evaluation, A/B comparison of model versions, and human-in-the-loop review workflows.

Data Quality, Bias & Fairness:

• Perform AI data validation across training and inference pipelines using exploratory data analysis (EDA), schema validation, and cross-validation techniques.

• Conduct bias detection and fairness analysis across demographic and contextual slices to ensure responsible AI outcomes.

• Drive model robustness testing, including adversarial inputs, distribution shift detection, and stress testing under edge cases.

• Establish regression testing standards for retraining and fine-tuning cycles to prevent quality drift after model updates.

Collaboration & Leadership:

• Partner with client AI engineers to validate solutions built using TensorFlow, PyTorch, LangChain, LangGraph, and LlamaIndex.

• Define quality KPIs and acceptance criteria for AI features, and report quality posture to engineering and product leadership.

• Mentor QA engineers on AI evaluation methodologies, ML fundamentals, and modern test automation practices.

• Champion responsible AI practices, including safety, transparency, explainability, and compliance with evolving AI governance standards.
  

Required Qualifications:

• 10 years of professional experience in Quality Engineering and Test Automation, validating complex enterprise applications.

• Proficient in validating AI/ML systems, including Generative AI and LLM-based applications.

• Strong proficiency in Python and experience building automation frameworks from the ground up.

• Practical experience with prompt validation, agentic workflow testing, and AI model evaluation.

• Working knowledge of evaluation metrics: BLEU, ROUGE, embedding similarity, precision, recall, F1-score, and human-evaluation methodologies.

• Experience with AI/ML frameworks and ecosystems: TensorFlow, PyTorch, LangChain, LangGraph, and LlamaIndex.

• Solid understanding of data validation techniques: EDA, schema validation, cross-validation, and statistical analysis.

• Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps).

• Familiarity with bias detection, fairness assessment, and AI safety evaluation techniques.
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with vector databases, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and embedding pipelines.

• Background in MLOps tooling such as MLflow, Weights & Biases, or similar experiment tracking platforms.

• Exposure to LLM observability and evaluation tools (e.g., LangSmith, Ragas, DeepEval, TruLens).

• Familiarity with cloud AI services on AWS, Azure, or GCP (Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI).

• Knowledge of AI governance frameworks, model cards, and emerging AI regulatory standards.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related technical field.
