Job Description

QA Engineer / SDET (Python, GraphQL, Cloud-Native)

Our client is seeking a Senior QA Automation Engineer to join their company for a 12-month contract. The QA Engineer will focus on functional and end-to-end testing across an AI lead platform using Python, automated UI / API testing, data and model validation, LLM / AI feature evaluation, performance and reliability testing, CI / CD quality gates, and cloud-native environments (Docker / Kubernetes, AWS / Azure / GCP).

  • Location : Remote (Eastern work hours)
  • Compensation : This job is expected to pay about $75-85 / hr W2 plus benefits
  • The client is not open to C2C. This contract must be W2.

What You’ll Do :

  • Define and drive the quality strategy for complex services, covering data, services, and UI layers
  • Design and implement robust test approaches, including functional, regression, performance, and usability testing
  • Build and maintain automation frameworks in Python to accelerate test coverage and reliability
  • Establish and monitor quality gates within CI / CD pipelines to ensure high-confidence releases
  • Develop and execute test plans, test cases, and test scripts to validate software against requirements
  • Collaborate with engineers, data scientists, and cross-functional teams to align testing with project objectives and catch defects early
  • Leverage observability signals (logs, metrics, traces) and evaluation data to drive actionable improvements in system reliability and safety
  • Document and track defects, perform root cause analysis, and partner with developers on timely resolution
  • Maintain and manage test environments, configurations, and test data for accurate results
  • Stay current with industry trends, tools, and best practices in software testing and quality engineering
  • What Gets You the Job :

  • 5–8+ years in QA / SDET roles testing backend services, data-intensive systems, and web applications in fast-paced environments
  • Strong Python skills (Pytest / Unittest); able to develop maintainable test suites, utilities, and harnesses
  • Expertise in automated API testing (REST / GraphQL), including schema / contract validation, auth / SSO flows, and negative scenarios
  • Web UI automation with Playwright or Cypress, applying pragmatic test pyramid strategies and flake reduction
  • Data and model testing, including validation of data pipelines, drift / robustness checks, and AI / LLM feature evaluation
  • Performance and reliability testing (load, soak, latency, scalability) with tools such as Locust, k6, or JMeter
  • CI / CD integration and quality gates (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins), with experience in parallelization and test impact analysis
  • Observability-driven testing : logs, metrics, and traces (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana); synthetic and canary testing
  • Cloud and container fluency (AWS / Azure / GCP, Docker, Kubernetes) with ephemeral test environments and infrastructure as code
  • Solid database and messaging fundamentals (SQL, schema evolution, migrations, Kafka / Pub / Sub)
  • Security / privacy awareness in QA (PII handling, secrets, vulnerability scanning) and strong collaboration with engineering and compliance teams
  • If we are still actively screening for this role, our AI Recruiter, Avery will email you to schedule a virtual meeting to learn more about your background.
