SENIOR AI QUALITY ENGINEER (E-TD14)

Location: Netherlands or Hungary (hybrid - 2 days in office 6 week)

Salary: competitive

Type of employment: employee

Tasks:

The work spans three distinct problems, and you keep them clear: testing agentic product behaviour, using agents to test conventional software, and building the agentic quality infrastructure that supports both.
Quality engineering
Design and maintain automated test suites across your team's interfaces and surfaces.
Write integration and contract tests that validate the interfaces your team provides to others — focused on correctness, schema stability, and clear failure isolation.
Bring advanced quality practices where they earn their place: property-based testing, fuzzing, mutation testing, contract testing, non-functional testing, and production-quality signals.
Assess non-functional risks: performance regressions, data consistency, access control, sensitive-data handling, migration safety, backward compatibility.
Investigate failing builds: triage root cause, distinguish product bugs from test brittleness, clarify ownership across team boundaries.
Work with Claude, stay accountable
Use Claude Code as your primary collaborator for generating tests, investigating failures, proposing fixes, and drafting multi-file change sets.
Write briefs, acceptance criteria, and CLAUDE.md conventions that Claude can execute against without further clarification; use subagents and MCP tools to go beyond single-shot prompting.
Build evals and headless agent runs in CI that catch regressions automatically — not just tests a human triggers.
Review and approve Claude-generated test suites before they merge — verify correctness, coverage, traceability to intended behaviour, and that assertions were not weakened just to pass; escalate suspicious changes and require human approval for any change to expected behaviour.
Build reusable prompting patterns and context conventions for test generation in the codebase.
Contribute to the quality journey
Share what works in agentic quality engineering through demos, retros, documentation, and conversation.
Contribute to shared quality standards: validation artefacts on AI-assisted PRs, CI quality gates, coverage expectations.
Surface where agentic approaches could reduce test toil or improve coverage.
Help engineers own quality and move the team up the testing-maturity curve — beyond manual and AI-assisted test writing toward bounded agents that observe changes, write and repair tests, and help keep suites green — matching autonomy to risk and never lowering the quality bar.
Technical environment:
- Claude Code, subagents, MCP integrations and multi-agent workflows
- Python, TypeScript, Vue, Postgres, Azure, Kubernetes and Terraform
- Cloud-native, service-oriented architecture

Requirements:

5+ years in test or quality engineering with ownership of automated test suites across a team or service.
Strong API and integration testing skills — the team's output is almost entirely interfaces.
Hands-on Claude Code experience — test generation, failure analysis, multi-file editing; not just autocomplete.
CI/CD fluency — writing and maintaining quality gates, not just running them.
Writes acceptance criteria that leave no ambiguity for implementation or for Claude to execute against.
Comfort with data-adjacent testing: databases, data integrity, consistency, and API contracts.
Fluent English for clear communication with engineers, product stakeholders, and other teams.

Nice to have :

Contract testing or consumer-driven contract patterns.
SQL for test-data setup and assertion.
Security-aware testing: secrets management, sensitive-data handling, compliance contexts.
Search-engine testing: relevance, edge cases, performance.
Experience contributing to a team's AI tooling adoption.
