Sound interesting? Well this is just the beginning. Because whenever you join, however long you stay, the exceptional EY experience lasts a lifetime.

 

 

The opportunity

 

 

As a Senior QA Engineer - AI Systems in the AI Hub, you will test, evaluate, and improve AI products before they reach clients and production. You will validate end-to-end AI solutions (LLMs, agents, RAG, OCR/document intelligence, traditional ML, prompts/tools, and data pipelines) and the human workflows around them. 

 

 

Your key responsibilities

 

 

You will partner with AI engineers, full stack/data/DevOps teams, product and security to define quality and risk, build evaluation approaches, surface failure modes, and ensure solutions are reliable, safe, explainable, and enterprise-ready.  

 

 

Skills and attributes for success

 

 

• Define and execute AI QA strategies for PoCs, MVPs, and production (models, prompts, retrieval, agents/tools, data flows, user workflows, ops) 

• Translate business needs into measurable quality criteria, evaluation metrics, acceptance tests, and release gates 

• Build and maintain eval assets: golden answers, synthetic/edge-case libraries, and regression suites for LLM/RAG/OCR/agentic/ML systems 

• LLM/GenAI testing: response quality, grounding, safety/refusals, bias, privacy leakage, and prompt adherence 

• RAG testing: ingestion/OCR & metadata quality, chunking/indexing, retrieval relevance, citations, and evidence traceability 

• Agent testing: tool selection/call accuracy, permissions, multi-step task completion, state/error handling, escalation, and safeguards 

• OCR/document intelligence testing: extraction accuracy (incl. tables/layout/multilingual), confidence scores, and downstream impact 

• Traditional ML testing: data/features/labels, performance & thresholds, drift, calibration, monitoring, and retraining readiness 

• Adversarial/negative testing: prompt injection (direct/indirect), jailbreaks, sensitive data disclosure, unsafe outputs, poisoning/manipulation risks 

• Integrate evaluations into CI/CD (automated gates, regression runs, dashboards, and monitoring feedback loops) 

• Use traces/logs/retrieved context/tool calls and feedback to debug failures and recommend improvements 

• Validate behavior across personas, languages, domains, data quality, ambiguity, and client constraints 

• Production readiness: observability/alerts, HITL review & fallbacks, cost/tokens, latency, and reliability under load 

• Apply standard QA where useful (API, integration, UI, performance, E2E) while prioritizing AI quality and risk 

• Collaborate with product/UX/engineering/security and clients to ensure solutions are trustworthy and aligned to business intent 

• Document test plans, eval results, limitations, failure modes, risk decisions, and release recommendations (audit-friendly) 

 

 

To qualify for the role you must have

 

• • 7+ years in QA engineering, test automation, AI/ML evaluation, data quality, or related roles 

  • Hands-on testing of AI/ML/GenAI/OCR/data solutions beyond traditional UI/API checks 

  • Working knowledge of LLMs, prompts, embeddings/vector search, RAG, agents, OCR/document extraction, and model-serving APIs 

  • Test strategy for probabilistic/context-dependent systems and non-deterministic outputs 

  • Build and maintain eval datasets (golden sets, adversarial/edge cases) and regression suites 

  • Evaluate quality with fit-for-purpose metrics (e.g., groundedness/relevance, task success, hallucinations, OCR accuracy, precision/recall, latency, cost) 

  • Experience with test automation using Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar scripting languages 

  • Familiarity with Azure AI/Azure OpenAI/Azure AI Foundry/Document Intelligence or similar platforms 

  • Understanding of responsible AI and enterprise risk (safety, privacy, bias/fairness, explainability) 

  • Experience in iterative delivery teams (PoCs/MVPs to production) 

 

Ideally you’ll also have

 

• • Experience with AI evaluation tools or frameworks such as Azure AI Foundry evaluators, promptfoo, Ragas, DeepEval, MLflow, LangSmith, Weights & Biases, or similar tools 

  • Experience testing agentic systems built with frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, OpenAI Agents SDK, or Microsoft Agent Framework 

  • Experience with LLM-as-judge evaluation patterns, custom evaluators, human-in-the-loop review workflows, and evaluation rubric design 

  • Experience with document-heavy AI systems, OCR quality assessment, Arabic/English content, financial/regulatory documents, or enterprise knowledge bases 

  • Experience with responsible AI, AI governance, NIST AI RMF, OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, OWASP Machine Learning Security Top 10, or similar AI risk frameworks 

  • Experience with cybersecurity or AI red-teaming techniques, especially prompt injection, data leakage, excessive agency, unsafe tool use, vector/embedding weaknesses, and model manipulation risks 

  • Experience with Azure Monitor, Application Insights, OpenTelemetry traces, or production AI observability dashboards 

  • Experience with Playwright, Cypress, Postman, pytest, Vitest, or other automation tools used to support end-to-end quality gates 

  • Experience supporting regulated or security-sensitive environments where privacy, auditability, access control, and data residency matter 

  • GenAI engineering exposure (prompting, RAG design, model selection, eval harnesses, and secure deployment patterns)
