AI Automation tester

AI Automation tester

Location: McLean, VA
Duration: 5-6 months

Description:
Agentic test automation foundation (reusable patterns + reference implementations)
Design and implement agentic testing patterns that can be adopted by multiple Underwriting teams (and later other domains).
Create reference implementations (sample repos / templates) demonstrating:
Test generation assistance (from requirements, APIs, contracts, schemas)
Test maintenance assistance (auto-updating selectors/contracts, flaky test triage)
Failure analysis assistance (root cause suggestions, log correlation, defect drafting)
Establish a standard architecture for test code organization, tagging, data management, and execution across UI + API + service layers.

Coverage standards, templates, and governance
Define and publish coverage standards (what good looks like) including:
Minimum coverage expectations by service/component
Test type mix (unit vs API vs UI vs contract vs integration)
Risk-based prioritization and traceability to requirements

Provide templates usable across teams:
Test plan templates
Test case/spec templates (Gherkin-style or equivalent)
Definition of Ready / Definition of Done quality checklists

Create a scalable tagging/metadata strategy (e.g., feature, service, risk, priority, data sensitivity) to support reporting and quality gates.
GenAI-assisted reporting and quality insights across microservices

Build automated reporting that aggregates test + service data across multiple microservices, such as:
Test execution results (Karate/Playwright + CI runs)
Service health signals (logs/metrics/traces if available)
Defect signals (issue tracker metadata if available)

Generate GenAI-driven summaries:
Release readiness narratives
Failure clustering and trend analysis
What changed? insights (commit/PR correlation)

Produce outputs consumable by engineering leadership and teams (dashboards, markdown summaries in PRs, artifacts in CI).

Quality gates via agents
Build automated review agents that evaluate user stories/requirements for minimum required clarity and data before development/testing starts:
Required fields present (acceptance criteria, testable outcomes, data needs, dependencies)
Ambiguity detection and missing edge cases
Data/privacy considerations and environment needs
Integrate gates into workflow (PR checks, issue templates, GitHub Actions) to reduce churn and rework.

Required Technical Skills (must-have)
GenAI / LLM + agentic development
Hands-on experience building LLM-powered agents (tool-using, multi-step reasoning, guardrails).
Experience with prompting patterns, structured outputs (JSON schemas), evaluation, and reducing hallucinations.

Ability to design agent workflows for:
Test generation/augmentation
Requirements review and completeness validation
Report generation and summarization

GitHub platform + GHCP (Copilot) for engineering workflows
Strong proficiency with GitHub Copilot in day-to-day development.
Deep experience with GitHub platform capabilities:
GitHub Actions (CI/CD pipelines, reusable workflows, composite actions)
PR checks, branch protections, CODEOWNERS, templates
Automation via GitHub APIs/webhooks (as needed)
Test automation engineering (framework expertise)

Advanced experience designing and implementing automation with:
Karate (API testing, contract-like checks, data-driven testing, mocks)
Playwright (UI automation, selectors strategy, parallelization, trace/video artifacts)
Strong understanding of test design and coverage:
Happy path scenarios
Negative/validation scenarios
Edge/boundary scenarios
Data setup/teardown strategies and test isolation
Cross-service reporting and data aggregation
Proven ability to aggregate and normalize results from multiple microservices and multiple pipelines.
Experience producing actionable automated reports (trend analysis, failure clustering, service correlation).

Automated requirements review agents
Experience implementing automated checks that validate:
Acceptance criteria completeness
Required test data and environment dependencies
Non-functional requirements (performance, security, observability) when applicable

Deliverables / What success looks like (for the posting)
A reusable agentic testing automation kit adopted by multiple teams.
Published coverage standards + templates and onboarding documentation.
A working GenAI-assisted reporting pipeline aggregating results across microservices.
Automated quality gates integrated into GitHub workflows that measurably reduce story churn.

Agentic testing

Teams exceptions:
Team is working on applications which are complete based on Java (backend) and JavaScript/Typescript(UI)
Looking for someone with Agentic testing with prompting, workflows (where AI agents generate, execute, and maintain software tests based on goals rather than predefined scripts).
Instead of hardcoding steps, you provide a prompt
