Lea toda la información sobre este puesto a continuación y luego pulse el botón de solicitar.We are embedding AI into how we build and verify software.We are looking for a Lead Test Framework Architect to lead the adoption of AI in our software test lifecycle, and to build the test frameworks, evaluation methods, and governance that let us ship AI-accelerated software safely in regulated, GxP / 21 CFR Part 11 environments.
This is a hands-on senior individual-contributor role.AI accelerates software delivery, but that acceleration exposes weaknesses downstream without a strong automated-testing control system.Building that control systemand leading the organization to adopt itis the core of this role.
Responsibilities: Lead AI SDLC adoption for quality engineering.Own the strategy for AI-assisted test authoring, execution, triage, and maintenance.Prove value through reference workflows, then scale adoption across product teams.
Build AI-native test frameworks.Design workflows that generate unit, contract, integration, and E2E suites from specifications and intent.Verify that AI-generated tests exercise specified intent, not implementation.Integrate GitHub Copilot (enterprise standard) and complementary tools (e.G., Qodo, Diffblue, Playwright AI agents, self-healing frameworks) into CI/CD quality gates.
Test our AI features.Build evaluation and regression frameworks for LLM- and agent-powered product capabilities: non-deterministic evaluation, hallucination and grounding scoring, drift detection, and AI observability using OpenTelemetry GenAI conventions.




Own the regulatory bridge.Integrate AI-assisted testing into validated environments using risk-based Computer Software Assurance (CSA), GAMP 5 (2nd Edition) and the ISPE GAMP AI Guide, andfor diagnostics softwareIEC *.Preserve audit trails, traceability, and data integrity for AI-generated artifacts.
Establish human-in-the-loop governance.Define risk-scaled review checkpoints, acceptance criteria, and rollback triggers for AI-generated code and tests.
Define platform-wide test architecture standards for a Kubernetes-based microservices platform: testability-by-design, test environment strategy (ephemeral namespaces, environment-as-code), CI/CD quality gate architecture, contract testing for microservices and APIs, test data strategy (synthetic data, isolation, AI/ML data requirements), and E2E frameworks that work reliably in containerized environments.
Instrument and report on impact.DORA delivery metrics augmented with AI-specific measures (coverage delta, defect-escape rate, mean-time-to-triage, eval-suite pass rates).
Lead the change effortchampions, enablement, playbooksthat drives durable adoption.
QualificationsRequired10+ years of software engineering, with 3+ years in test architecture or quality engineering architecture roles.
Demonstrated daily, hands-on use of AI-assisted development and testing tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent)



with the ability to speak concretely to effective usage patterns and failure modes.
Deep hands-on Kubernetes expertise for test environment design: ephemeral namespace provisioning, container-based test infrastructure, environment-as-code.
Strong experience designing multi-level test automation frameworks: unit, contract, integration, E2E, and performance testing in distributed systems.
CI/CD pipeline architecture and quality gate integration (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or equivalent).
Contract testing experience (Pact or consumer-driven contract testing) for microservices and API-first architectures.
Demonstrated ability to deliver reusable test frameworks adopted across multiple product teams — reference implementations, not just guidelines.
Working knowledge of testability-by-design and the ability to influence how software is architected to be inherently more testable.
Experience leading adoption and change in an established engineering organization, with a track record of defensible outcome metrics.
PreferredExperience testing AI/ML, LLM, or agent-based systems: evaluation frameworks (deepeval, promptfoo, LangSmith, Langfuse, Maxim AI, or equivalent), non-deterministic regression, hallucination and grounding scoring, drift detection.
Fluency in regulated software validation: 21 CFR Part 11, GxP / GAMP 5, CSA vs.CSV, and IEC * for medical device or diagnostics software.Context engineering for LLMs: prompt/spec design, RAG, MCP servers, project-memory patterns.Observability tooling in containerized environments, ideally with OpenTelemetry GenAI Semantic Conventions.Performance and load testing at platform scale (k6, Gatling, Locust, or equivalent).
