• As a Sr. SDET in Agentic QA, you will own the test automation and quality frameworks that support Dialpad’s AI Voice Agent services
• You will develop automated tests for end-to-end product experiences, from frontend UI to backend services to APIs to audio/text interactions
• You will test orchestration flows, agent configuration experiences, and guardian safeguards to create robust automated coverage for functionality, performance, reliability, UX, and more
• In this role, you will develop substantial amounts of automated test infrastructure and partner deeply with the development team to make our fast-growing AI platform more testable, more stable, and more delightful for customers
• Reports to a QA Eng Manager in the United States
• Own end-to-end quality for agentic features and workflows, including strategy, development, execution, and release qualification
• Design and build automation tooling and frameworks for AI/LLM-driven systems, including prompt flows, agent orchestration, and tool integrations
• Develop and maintain evaluation frameworks (evals) to measure response quality, accuracy, and hallucination rates
• Drive automation coverage (80%+ for critical AI workflows) using deterministic + probabilistic validation approaches
• Integrate AI quality checks into CI/CD pipelines with fast feedback cycles (<15 minutes for PR validation)
• Build tooling for LLM observability and debugging, including prompt tracing and response analysis
• Partner with Applied AI teams on prompt engineering, model selection, and evaluation strategies
• Design and execute performance and load tests for AI services (latency, throughput, cost efficiency)
• Identify and mitigate risks related to hallucinations, bias, safety, and edge cases
• Define and track AI quality KPIs (task success rates, precision/recall, latency, etc.)
• Participate in design and architecture reviews to ensure systems are testable, observable, and resilient
• Mentor engineers and contribute to raising the bar on AI quality engineering practices
