TL;DR · GenAI Automation Test Lead/Architect

As a GenAI Automation Test Lead/Architect, you will join the Quality Engineering team to drive the adoption of Generative AI across the Software Testing Lifecycle. You will develop and implement GenAI-powered solutions for automated test design, code generation, execution, and defect analysis while building AI-assisted UI and API automation frameworks. Your responsibilities include leading the architecture for prompt engineering, model optimization, and retrieval-augmented generation frameworks. You will define quality engineering roadmaps and mentor engineers on Agentic AI and AI safety. Required skills include Python, Java, Selenium, Playwright, and API Automation. You must have hands-on expertise with Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, LangChain, LangGraph, GitHub Copilot, and Anthropic Claude. The role addresses the technical challenge of integrating LLMs into enterprise-scale test automation programs.

What you'll do

  • Develop and implement GenAI solutions for automated test design, code generation, execution, and defect analysis.
  • Design and build AI-assisted UI and API automation frameworks using modern quality engineering practices.
  • Lead the architecture of Generative AI solutions including prompt engineering, model optimization, and RAG frameworks.
  • Define Quality Engineering and GenAI adoption roadmaps aligned to business objectives and governance standards.
  • Mentor engineers on GenAI, Agentic AI, automation, model deployment, and AI safety best practices.
  • Design GenAI solutions for test data generation, synthetic data creation, and intelligent test case generation.
  • Evaluate AI platforms, vendors, and build-versus-buy strategies for enterprise adoption.

What we're looking for

  • 14+ years of experience in Quality Engineering, Test Architecture, and enterprise-scale test automation programs.
  • Hands-on expertise in Generative AI, Agentic AI, Prompt Engineering, RAG architectures, and AI-assisted testing solutions.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and Java with deep experience in Selenium, Playwright, API Automation, and scalable automation frameworks.
  • Experience with Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, LangChain, LangGraph, GitHub Copilot, Anthropic Claude, and related AI ecosystems.
  • Proven ability to define QE strategy, automation roadmaps, governance frameworks, and lead global teams.
  • Experience designing GenAI solutions for test data generation, synthetic data creation, and intelligent test case generation (preferred).
  • Experience building AI-powered quality engineering platforms and productivity accelerators (preferred).
  • Knowledge of transformer architectures, LLMs, multimodal AI, model fine-tuning, and insurance domain experience (preferred).
