- **Location:** Bengaluru, India
- **Posted:** 2026-05-25

## Job description

Staff QA Automation Engineer

Job Location: Bangalore

About the role:

- Most teams trade speed for quality. We believe quality is what enables speed.
- We are building an AI-first engineering organization where teams ship fast, confidently, and continuously. That only works when quality, data, and delivery are designed as a system—not separate functions.
- This is not a traditional QA role. It is not project management. This is a high-ownership position where you define how an AI-first team builds, validates, and ships production software.

Key Responsibilities:

- Build Quality as a System
- Turn quality into developer behavior, not a downstream gate
- Design automated testing systems that act as guardrails
- Define and enforce what “production-ready” means through systems
- Enable teams to anticipate edge cases, failures, and data issues early
- Eliminate “hope-driven” releases
- Define What’s Buildable
- Partner with Product and Sales to validate ideas early
- Assess feasibility, data requirements, trade-offs, and cost
- Translate ambiguity into clear, executable plans
- Shape viable ideas and stop unworkable ones early
- Own the Data Reality
- Map how data actually flows across systems and integrations
- Identify gaps, inconsistencies, and reliability issues
- Ensure features are grounded in real, usable data
- Navigate internal and third-party data ecosystems confidently
- Bring Domain Expertise
- Apply knowledge of MarTech / AdTech (identity, activation, measurement)
- Operate within healthcare data constraints and compliance requirements
- Ensure solutions are technically sound and market-relevant
- Drive Delivery End-to-End
- Own delivery for AI-first engineering teams
- Break down work into clear, actionable steps
- Maintain predictable delivery without slowing velocity
- Proactively identify risks and adjust early
- Align Product, Engineering, and GTM teams.
- Redefine QA for AI Systems
- Develop testing strategies for AI-generated, non-deterministic systems
- Validate outputs and behavior, not just code
- Build evaluation frameworks for AI reliability and accuracy
- Ensure AI accelerates development without compromising quality

## What You Need to Succeed

- Strong systems thinking across quality, data, and delivery
- Ability to move from data models → requirements → test strategy → delivery plan
- Experience improving engineering quality without becoming a bottleneck
- Confidence pushing back on unclear or unviable ideas
- Focus on production outcomes, not just releases

Core Experience:

- Background in Quality Engineering, SDET, or technical delivery leadership
- Hands-on experience with test automation and CI/CD pipelines
- Strong SQL skills and ability to work with complex data systems
- Experience with AI-assisted development or ML/LLM-based systems

## Nice to Have

- Experience in MarTech / AdTech ecosystems
- Familiarity with healthcare data, compliance, and constraints
- Exposure to building or testing AI-first or non-deterministic systems at scale
