Ensure marketplace submissions comply with: Rapid Alpha quality standards Data usage and licensing policies Prompt and workflow safety guidelines Traceability and repeatability requirements Identify policy violations, ambiguous edge cases, and quality risks before publication. Partner with product and legal stakeholders to continuously refine marketplace standards. This is not automated scanning alone — it requires judgment, pattern recognition, and risk assessment . 3. AI-Aware & Systems-Level Testing Test and troubleshoot workflows where code, logic, prompts, or outputs are AI-assisted. Identify failure modes introduced by: Prompt reuse and chaining Dataset updates or substitutions Workflow composition across multiple contributors Validate that outputs are repeatable, traceable, explainable, and defensible, not just “passing.” 4. Analytical & Consulting-Grade QA Use IP documents, financial data, and internal management artifacts as part of test scenarios. Validate that platform behavior aligns with business logic, legal constraints, and strategic intent. Think beyond “does it work?” to: Is it defensible? Is it explainable to a client? Would a regulated or enterprise user trust this output? 5. Collaboration & Continuous Improvement Work closely with developers to reproduce issues and drive root-cause resolution. Partner with product, analytics, and platform teams to prevent defects before they ship. Continuously improve test coverage, automation efficiency, marketplace review processes, and QA standards. What We’re Looking For Core Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field. 3–6 years of experience in QA (manual + automation). Hands-on experience testing Laravel / PHP applications. Strong experience testing REST APIs and Python-based backend services. Solid PostgreSQL knowledge for data validation and query testing.
