BengaluruFull-time10–18 yrsPosted 3 weeks ago
Leadership QA and testing role at Eightfold in Bengaluru. Needs 10+ years and a B.Tech or B.E..
About the role
As our Staff Engineer in Test , you own the overall quality of what we ship — across a complex, multi-tenant SaaS platform and the AI models and copilots at its core. This is a hands-on architecture role: you'll set the quality strategy, build the frameworks and guardrails that teams test against, and pioneer how we assure AI systems — from deep-learning matching models to generative-AI agents — at production scale.
What you'll do
- Define and drive the end-to-end test architecture, standards, and quality strategy across all products and services
- Own the test strategy across layers — unit, API/contract, integration, UI, end-to-end — and the frameworks teams build on
- Design quality gates into CI/CD so quality shifts left; make "green build = releasable" true and trustworthy
- Lead non-functional testing: performance and scalability, reliability/resilience, security, and data quality across a high-volume, multi-tenant system
- Build test data management and environment strategy for a platform handling sensitive candidate and employee data
