Senior AI & Data Quality Engineer

DeepLight AI is a specialist AI and data consultancy with extensive experience implementing intelligent enterprise systems across multiple industries, with particular depth in financial services and banking. Our team combines deep expertise in data science, statistical modeling, AI/ML technologies, workflow automation, and systems integration with a practical understanding of complex business operations.

The QA & Application Testing & Automation Engineer is responsible for the quality, resilience, and performance of the Bank's digital and core operational platforms. This role goes beyond traditional testing, focusing on the end-to-end validation of next-generation AI systems, mobile applications, and enterprise services. By building sophisticated automated frameworks and continuous testing pipelines, you will ensure that every release—from Conversational AI agents to core banking microservices—meets the highest standards of security, scalability, and reliability. You will act as a quality gatekeeper, collaborating across engineering and cybersecurity teams to accelerate deployment without compromising the Bank's integrity.

Your responsibilities within this role include:

• Validate next-gen AI platforms (voice and chat) for accuracy, stability, latency, and safety; ensure AI-driven enterprise search avoids hallucinations
• Build and maintain reusable automation frameworks for web, mobile, and API integrations using Python, Selenium, or Playwright
• Validate RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines, vector search quality, and grounding accuracy to ensure data retrieval performance
• Implement automated quality checks for MLOps, including drift detection, retraining validation, and model registry integrity
• Conduct scenario-based testing for operational AI agents (KYC, Risk, Compliance) and validate high availability and disaster recovery protocols
• Integrate automated quality gates into CI/CD pipelines to ensure continuous validation within containerized (Docker/Kubernetes) environments
• Verify that all AI engineering aligns with guardrails for fairness, security, explainability, and regulatory requirements
  
  

As an AI consultancy, our greatest asset is the expertise of our people.
