**Role & seniority: ** QA/Test Automation Engineer (mid-level, ~4–5 years experience)
**Stack/tools: **
-
Languages: Python (primary preferred), or TypeScript/Java

LLM/ML testing: LLM-as-judge, semantic similarity, structured-output validation, repeated sampling (non-deterministic tolerance)
-
Automation/testing frameworks: Pytest, Playwright, Cypress, RestAssured
-
API/data testing: SQL, pipeline data validation
-
CI: run fast/stable regression suites; manage flakes as defects
-
Top 3 responsibilities:
-
Build LLM/ML evaluation suites: curated test sets, reference scoring, LLM-as-judge (when justified), and human review (when not).
-
Define and enforce “good enough” launch thresholds (accuracy/quality, cost/latency) and hold releases to numerical criteria.
-
Create end-to-end regression testing for retrieval + grounding: chunking/indexing, retrieval quality, behavior when documents are missing, and client-impacting failure modes.

-
Must-have skills:
-
Strong programming in Python (or willingness to work primarily in Python)
-
Experience with test automation and CI; command of at least one framework (Pytest/Playwright/Cypress/RestAssured)
-
Hands-on testing of LLM/ML products in production or near-production
-
Ability to design robust tests for non-determinism (semantic similarity, tolerance bands, structured validation, sampling)
-
Knowledge of API/data testing and SQL

Full Description
Build evaluation suites for LLM and ML features: curated test sets, scoring against reference answers, LLM-as-judge where it is justified, and human review where it is not. Define what "good enough" means with the delivery team before launch, in numbers a client can accept, and hold releases to it. Test retrieval pipelines end to end, covering chunking and indexing, retrieval quality, grounding of the final answer, and behaviour when the right document is simply not there. Write regression tests that tolerate non-deterministic output, using semantic similarity, structured-output validation, tolerance bands, and repeated sampling rather than exact string matching.
Cover failure modes that matter to clients: hallucination, prompt injection through user or document content, leakage of data across tenants or sessions, refusal and over-refusal, and degradation on Thai-language input. Track cost and latency alongside accuracy, so that a quality improvement that triples token spend is visible before it ships. Detect drift after release by comparing production samples against the baseline, and raise it early rather than after the client does. Design and maintain automated test suites for APIs, services, data pipelines, and web applications built for client projects. Run tests in CI, keep them fast and stable, and treat a flaky suite as a defect in its own right.
Set the test strategy at the start of an engagement: what gets automated, what stays manual, what the exit criteria are, and what evidence the client will receive. 4-5 years in test automation, QA engineering, or software engineering with substantial testing ownership. Strong programming ability in Python, or in TypeScript or Java with the willingness to work primarily in Python. Hands-on experience testing an LLM or ML-based product in production or close to it. Practical command of at least one automation framework such as Pytest, Playwright, Cypress, or RestAssured, and experience running suites in CI. Working knowledge of API and data testing, including SQL and validating data through a pipeline. The judgement to decide what deserves automation and what does not, and to say so when a suite is producing noise rather than signal. Clear written and spoken communication in Thai and English. Hybrid Working options with Flexible Working Hours.
