TL;DR · Lead Software Development Engineer in Test

The Lead Software Development Engineer in Test will join an agile team to develop test infrastructure for agent evaluation and observability for Ask Alteryx. This role involves partnering with engineering, product, and data science teams to measure and improve agent quality. Key responsibilities include producing test strategies, designing automated frameworks, and conducting performance and load testing. The candidate will build and maintain automation for UI and API tests using Selenium, pytest, and Playwright, while utilizing Allure for reporting. Required technical skills include Python, LangChain, LangSmith, and experience with agent observability, traces, and telemetry. The role requires applying statistics to assess variability and developing evaluation datasets using deterministic checks, human feedback, and LLM-based judges to solve complex AI-driven product workflow challenges.

What you'll do

  • Analyze requirements to produce comprehensive test strategies and detailed test cases.
  • Design and implement manual and automated tests across unit, component, integration, and end-to-end levels.
  • Build and enhance scalable automated test frameworks for feature testing and AI-driven workflows.
  • Develop and maintain automation for UI and API tests using Selenium, pytest, and Playwright.
  • Conduct performance and load testing using tools like Locust to ensure product scalability.
  • Evaluate AI agents for multi-step task completion, tool selection accuracy, and failure recovery.
  • Build evaluation datasets and scoring methods using deterministic checks, human feedback, and LLM-based judges.
  • Integrate evaluations into CI/CD pipelines and translate production failures into regression coverage.

What we're looking for

  • Experience evaluating AI agents, including multi-step task completion, tool selection, tool-call accuracy, and failure recovery.
  • Working knowledge of agent frameworks, preferably LangChain, with the ability to understand and debug context handling and tool execution (preferred).
  • Hands-on experience with LangSmith or similar platforms for evaluation datasets, custom evaluators, experiments, and comparisons.
  • Experience with agent observability, using traces and telemetry to investigate quality issues, latency, token usage, and cost.
  • Strong Python software engineering skills to build and extend evaluation tooling, metrics pipelines, and reporting systems.
  • Applied statistics and data analysis skills to assess variability, compare experiments, and distinguish meaningful improvements from noise.
  • Experience developing evaluation datasets and scoring methods, combining deterministic checks, human feedback, and LLM-based judges.
  • Export controls.
