Staff Quality Assurance Engineer

AI71 builds enterprise-grade AI and data platform software for organisations operating in regulated, mission-critical environments.

Our solutions are delivered in two deployment modes:

Managed SaaS — multi-tenant, cloud-hosted, continuously updated.

On-premises — single-tenant installs in customer data centres, including fully disconnected and air-gapped environments.

Quality engineering at AI71 means proving that releases behave correctly in the cloud and behind a firewall, including fully disconnected, air-gapped installs where a shipped defect can't be quietly patched the next day.

As a Lead / Staff QA Engineer you set the quality strategy and testing architecture for AI71's platform. You own test architecture and release-quality standards across both SaaS and on-prem operating models, mentor QA engineers across teams, and drive multi-quarter quality strategy. You are a force multiplier.

10+ years of QA, test engineering, or quality architecture with a history of architectural ownership.

At least 2 years focused on testing complex data-driven applications, ML models, or AI agents.

Proven track record designing test architecture and quality processes at scale.

Expert proficiency in Python (Pytest) and standard libraries (Selenium/Playwright, Requests).

Mentorship record — engineers you have grown now operate independently at higher levels.

Track record of leading major quality initiatives end-to-end.

Deep comfort architecting test strategy for systems that run in both managed SaaS and on-premises / disconnected air-gapped environments.

Conference speaking, technical writing, or industry thought leadership.
