Testing Lead-QA

Job Title: Testing Lead – Deep Learning / LLM / VLM Location Remote / Hybrid / On-site

Experience

3–4 years (hands-on ownership in DL / LLM / GenAI testing) Employment Type Full-time Role Overview We are seeking a hands-on Testing Lead to own quality and documentation for our Deep Learning, LLM, and Vision-Language Model (VLM) products. You will define how we test, measure, document, and communicate AI quality—working closely with ML, Engineering, and Product teams in a fast-paced startup environment. This role is ideal for someone who believes clear documentation is as critical as good testing, especially for non-deterministic AI systems. What You’ll Do Own Quality & Documentation End-to-End Define testing strategy for LLMs, VLMs, and DL pipelines. Create and maintain clear, lightweight documentation covering: Model testing strategies and assumptions Evaluation metrics and acceptance criteria Known limitations, risks, and failure modes Release readiness and quality sign-off Ensure documentation evolves with models, data, and prompts. LLM / GenAI Testing Design tests for: Prompt templates and prompt changes RAG pipelines (retrieval quality, grounding, hallucination control) Multi-turn conversations and long-context behaviour Maintain golden datasets, regression test suites, and test result summaries. Document prompt behaviour, edge cases, and known model quirks. Vision & Multimodal Testing Test VLMs for image-text alignment, OCR, captioning, and reasoning. Document model performance across different image types, quality levels, and domains. Track and publish model behaviour changes between versions. Automation, MLOps & Reporting Build Python-based automation for evaluation and regression testing. Integrate tests into CI/CD and MLOps pipelines. Produce readable quality reports and dashboards for engineers and leadership. Monitor and document production issues such as model/data drift and degradation. Build a Quality-First Culture Establish QA and documentation standards that scale with a startup. Mentor engineers on writing testable code and meaningful documentation. Act as the single source of truth for AI quality, testing, and known risks. What we’re looking For Must-Have Strong background in software testing with lead or ownership experience. Hands-on
