Over the past few years, Micro1 has expanded its client base across fintech, healthcare, and e‑commerce, delivering end‑to‑end AI data workflows that power next‑generation intelligent applications. The QA Engineer role is a contractor position that will be performed entirely remotely. As a QA Engineer, you will be part of a dedicated testing squad that validates AI‑generated outputs for a high‑volume customer project. Your primary mission is to ensure that the data fed into the training loop meets the highest quality standards, thereby improving model reliability and performance. While prior AI experience is not mandatory, a solid background in software quality assurance, test case design, and defect management is essential. You will work closely with data scientists, product managers, and developers to create robust evaluation rubrics, execute manual and automated test suites, and provide clear, actionable feedback. Key Responsibilities: 1. Evaluate AI‑generated technical responses against defined quality rubrics and flag inaccurate or incomplete answers. 2. Design comprehensive functional, regression, and edge‑case test scenarios, including negative and boundary tests. 3. Review and verify bug reports, ensuring reproducibility and accurate severity classification. 4. Document defects with detailed reproduction steps using test management tools. 5. Provide concise written feedback and annotations to developers for swift issue resolution. 6. Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to refine evaluation guidelines and improve testing standards. 7. Maintain and enhance automated test scripts using Selenium or similar frameworks. 8. Track test coverage and metrics to demonstrate quality improvements over time. 9. Participate in knowledge‑sharing sessions and mentor junior QA contributors. 10. Ensure adherence to project timelines and maintain a reliable internet connection for seamless remote collaboration. Tech Stack: Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Appium, Postman, Jira, TestRail, Zephyr, BrowserStack, Python/Java for scripting, CI/CD pipelines.
