Role Overview
MARKET RATE
Seeking a forward-thinking AI Platform Test Lead to design, build, and operationalize the QE testing leveraging AI tools and utilities to accelerate innovation in IT’s Software Development Lifecycle.
This role will lead the design, implementation and operations of AI QE testing platforms, tools and utilities to support a multi-platform AI ecosystem, spanning AWS (Bedrock, Sage Maker), Databricks (Mosaic AI), Claude for Enterprise, and emerging AI-native / agentic engineering tools and platforms. The AI QE test platforms will also be used with non-AI software products.
This role will ensure scalable, secure, and compliant deployment of AI capabilities while enabling rapid experimentation and adoption.
A critical success factor is the ability to stay ahead of industry trends, quickly validate new technologies, and operationalize high-value capabilities in a regulated life sciences environment.
