ΑΙ Senior Software Engineer in Test

Let's start with the role

You will join an autonomous Agile team and work closely with the Product Owner, Technology Lead  Data Scientist and AI engineers  to create a competitive advantage for Kaizen and offer a unique online experience to our customers. 

As an AI Senior Software Engineer in Test, you will utilize your experience and technical expertise to make your mark in the quality of the products and experiences we offer our customers. Relish the opportunity to contribute in this key role where you will liaise with our talented AI team and business and domain experts. Your understanding of the testing lifecycle will enable you to liaise seamlessly with a broad cross-section of colleagues, product owners and stakeholders, and provide a vote of confidence regarding the quality of the product. 

You will help us evaluate and improve with insights the quality of our personalized recommendations by moving away beyond traditional API testing. Rather than simply verifying whether an API returns results, you will help determine whether it returns the best possible results for our customers at a given moment. This is not a traditional Software Engineer in Test role. You will act as the voice of our customers, providing meaningful quality feedback that helps improve our AI and GenAI products and models.  

As a Senior Software Engineer in Test you will:

• Review user stories and acceptance criteria in order to develop effective test plans and both manual and automated tests cases in collaboration with the AI team;
• Design complex automation solutions regarding functional and non functional testing;
• Apply your deep knowledge of testing strategies and demonstrate the ability to contribute in all levels of the testing pyramid;
• Take ownership of the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC)  for new features on testing suites, taking technical ownership to ensure timely and quality delivery;
• Research test tools, methodologies, and trends and upgrade existing practices and processes;
• Use both automated and manual testing to help us evaluate and improve the quality of our personalized recommendations and responses provided by our AI and GenAI products and models;
• Lead efforts alongside our AI teams to evaluate non-deterministic conversational GenAI products and AI models
