Job Description:
Own the formal Deliverable Acceptance process for TOP's external vendor engagement, reviewing each submitted Deliverable against the Acceptance Criteria defined in the vendor SOW and issuing written acceptance or a specific, actionable defect list · Verify vendor container image deliverables against the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), confirming that all declared components are present and no unapproved components are included · Validate that vendor-delivered AI engine deployments comply with the client’s technical architecture requirements, including confirming that fine-tuned model weights are stored in Vertex AI Model Registry and not embedded in container images · Design, build, and maintain automated test suites for TOP platform backend services, APIs, and data pipelines · Develop AI engine output evaluation frameworks that test inference quality against defined accuracy benchmarks for each dealer service use case · Own the UAT (User Acceptance Testing) process for dealer-facing interfaces, coordinating with Service stakeholders to recruit pilot users, design test scenarios, and capture structured feedback · Manage Jira project bug triage workflow: creating Bug records for confirmed Tier 2 issues, assigning priority in alignment with SLA tiers, tracking vendor acknowledgment and resolution timelines, and reporting SLA compliance metrics · Perform regression testing for each new container image version before the client authorizes production deployment · Define test environments within client's GCP project space in collaboration with the GCP Cloud Engineer, ensuring test environments accurately reflect production configurations · Produce quality metrics reports for program leadership covering defect rates, SLA compliance, and test coverage across all TOP platform components
Skills Required:
API, Cloud Infrastructure, Google Cloud Platform, User Acceptance Testing, Application Testing, Software Testing, Test Cases, Jira, Ad Hoc Reporting, Test Integration Testing
1. API – 3–5 years designing, executing, and validating API test cases using tools such as Postman or REST-assured. This includes verifying request/response contracts, authentication flows, error handling, and integration behavior across microservices within the Telemetry & Observability Platform.
2. Cloud Infrastructure – 3–5 years of working knowledge of cloud-native infrastructure concepts including containerization, networking, IAM, and storage. Experience validating deployments and testing service behavior in cloud environments is expected.
3. Google Cloud Platform – 2–5 years of hands-on experience working within GCP, including familiarity with services such as Pub/Sub, BigQuery, GCS, or Cloud Run as they relate to testing data pipelines and telemetry workloads.
4. User Acceptance Testing – 2–5 years coordinating and executing UAT cycles with internal stakeholders and platform consumers, ensuring delivered features meet business and functional requirements before production release.
5. Application Testing – 3–5 years developing and executing test plans covering functional, regression, and smoke testing across platform applications and services throughout the SDLC.
6. Software Testing – 3–5 years of broad software testing experience including unit, integration, system, and end-to-end testing, with the ability to contribute to or maintain automated test suites.
7. Test Cases – 2–5 years authoring clear, traceable, and reusable test cases tied to acceptance criteria, with documentation maintained in Jira or a comparable test management tool.
8. Jira - Ad Hoc Reporting – 2–5 years creating ad hoc Jira queries, dashboards, and filters to surface test coverage, defect trends, and sprint quality metrics for engineering and leadership audiences.
9. Test Integration Testing – 3–5 years planning and executing integration tests that validate end-to-end data and event flows across platform services. including ingestion, processing, and telemetry delivery pipelines.
Skills Preferred:
Artificial Intelligence & Expert Systems, Dynatrace, Quality Assurance Concepts and Standards, Quality Assurance/Control, Testing - Performance
