  • Draw conclusions about data quality by producing basic descriptive statistics, summaries, and visualisations
  • Proactively suggest and take ownership of improvements to QA processes and methodologies by employing other technologies and tools, including but not limited to: browser add-ons, Excel add-ons, UI-based test automation tools etc.
  • Ensure that project requirements are testable; work with project managers and/or clients to clarify ambiguities before QA begins
  • Drive innovation and advanced validation and analytics techniques to ensure data quality for Anakin's customers
  • Optimize data quality codebases and systems to monitor the Anakin family of app crawlers
  • Configure and optimize the automated and manual testing and deployment systems used to check the quality of billions of data points of over 1000+ crawlers across the company

Title                                 : Senior Data & AI Quality Engineer (Ingestion · Evaluation · Testing)

Experience                    : 5+ years

Work type                      : Chennai - Work from Office/ Other Locations - Remote

Employment Type      : Full Time

Notice Period               : Immediate

Work Day                       :Mon to Fri

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Ingestion pipelines: Confluence, SharePoint/Microsoft 365 (Graph), and repository connectors — parsing, chunking, metadata, incremental sync, data-quality controls
  • Synthetic and non-production data design: corpora shaped to banking IT content (runbooks, incidents, KB articles, change records) with realistic permission structures — the foundation of the cloud-first build
  • The evaluation harness as a product: golden question sets, retrieval precision/faithfulness/citation-accuracy scoring, the zero-leakage permission suite, the zero-unauthorized-actions agent suite; CI-integrated regression gates
  • Performance and load testing with the platform engineer: concurrency profiles, soak tests, degraded-mode behavior
  • UAT orchestration and defect triage across both use cases; acceptance evidence packs per milestone
  • Measurement reporting foundations: the before/after value metrics (time saved per incident, per search) the client's executives receive monthly

Technical Skills:

  • 5+ years across data engineering and quality engineering with production Python; you have built pipelines AND the tests that police them
  • LLM evaluation experience: has designed or operated retrieval/generation quality measurement with numeric thresholds (RAGAS-class metrics, custom harnesses, or equivalent) — not just eyeballed outputs
  • Document-processing depth: parsing real enterprise content (tables, permissions, versions, mess), chunking trade-offs, metadata design



  • Test-suite craftsmanship: negative and adversarial test design — the leakage suite is a security artifact, and you think like an attacker when writing it
  • Load/performance testing experience (Locust, k6, or equivalent) and defect-triage discipline



Strongly Preferred :

Synthetic-data generation for regulated domains; Microsoft Graph and Confluence APIs; Milvus/pgvector; Splunk data onboarding; UAT facilitation with business users; banking data-handling standards

Senior QA Engineer


Make quality part of the engineering system.

AbleCredit builds software for complex enterprise workflows where AI, APIs, business rules, human decisions, and real-world operations have to work together reliably. We care about building products that work in production - not just in demos. We're looking for a senior quality engineer who can move quality upstream: from release-time testing to better automation, contracts, observability, and engineering practices.


What You'll Own?

• Own quality strategy across web, mobile, backend APIs, integrations, and end-to-end workflows.

• Design and maintain automated regression suites for critical customer journeys.

• Build API, integration, contract, and workflow tests that catch failures before production.

• Partner with engineering and product teams during design - not only after development is complete.

• Define release readiness, risk-based testing, and production validation practices.

• Investigate escaped defects, identify systemic causes, and drive preventive improvements.

• Improve test data, environments, tooling, and CI integration so teams can ship confidently.


What We're Looking For?

• 5+ years in software quality engineering or test automation.

• Strong API and backend testing experience, including asynchronous and integration-heavy systems.

• Experience testing mobile and web applications and understanding client/ server failure modes.

• Ability to write automation in JavaScript/ TypeScript, Python, Java, or a similar language.

• Strong debugging skills across logs, network requests, databases, and distributed services.

• Experience with CI/CD and integrating automated tests into release pipelines.

• A product mindset: prioritize risk and customer impact rather than maximizing test-case counts.


Nice to Have

• Performance, load, security, or reliability testing.

• Experience with Playwright, Cypress, Appium, Postman/ Newman, k6, or similar tooling.

• Experience with event-driven systems, queues, webhooks, and long running workflows.

• Experience testing AI-assisted or non-deterministic product behavior.


How We Think About Quality?

Quality is an engineering responsibility. Automation should create confidence, not dashboards. A production escape should improve the system that allowed it to happen. The goal is simple: ship quickly without making customers our test environment.

About the Role


We are looking for an experienced Senior QA Engineer to join our engineering team in Hyderabad. This is primarily a Manual QA role for someone who takes strong ownership of product quality and system stability. The ideal candidate should be proactive in identifying issues before they impact users, maintaining strong regression coverage, monitoring production behaviour, and working closely with developers to continuously improve application reliability.


Experience with test automation is a strong advantage, but the primary focus of this role is hands-on manual testing and quality ownership.


Key Responsibilities


· Own end-to-end quality across new features, existing functionality, integrations, and production releases.

· Perform functional, regression, integration, API, exploratory, smoke, and end-to-end testing across web applications and backend services.

· Build and maintain comprehensive test cases, regression suites, checklists, and release validation processes.

· Proactively monitor applications and production behaviour, identify unusual patterns or failures, and investigate issues before they become customer-impacting problems.

· Work closely with developers and product teams to reproduce issues, identify root causes, validate fixes, and prevent regressions.

· Test APIs and third-party integrations using tools such as Postman and validate data directly using MySQL.

· Take ownership of release quality, production stability, defect prevention, and continuous improvement of QA processes.

· Contribute to automation testing where appropriate and help identify high-value areas for automation.


Required Skills & Experience


· 5+ years of professional QA/testing experience, with strong hands-on experience in manual testing.

· Strong experience with functional testing, regression testing, integration testing, exploratory testing, release testing, and defect management.

· Strong working knowledge of MySQL, including writing queries to validate data, investigate issues, and troubleshoot application behaviour.

· Experience testing REST APIs, third-party integrations, and backend services, preferably using Postman or similar tools.

· Good understanding of web applications, client-server architecture, APIs, databases, authentication, and common application workflows.

· Experience with production monitoring, log analysis, incident investigation, root-cause analysis, and post-release validation.

· Ability to create clear test scenarios, identify edge cases, reproduce complex issues, and communicate defects effectively.

· Strong ownership, problem-solving, attention to detail, and communication skills.


Automation – Good to Have


Experience with Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or similar automation frameworks would be an advantage. The candidate should be able to identify scenarios that are suitable for automation, contribute to automated regression coverage, and work with developers to improve overall test efficiency.


What We Are Looking For


We are looking for someone who thinks beyond simply executing test cases. The successful candidate should take personal ownership of application quality and stability, proactively look for weaknesses in the system, question assumptions, identify risks, and continuously improve regression coverage.


They should be comfortable monitoring production behaviour, investigating problems independently, following issues through to resolution, and ensuring that fixes do not introduce new regressions. The candidate must be comfortable working with an international team and willing to work from our Hyderabad office during UK business hours.
