## Description

### About the Role

Join an early-stage AI infrastructure company as its first QA engineer, owning quality across a Kubernetes-based GPU fleet management platform. You will test conversational and web interfaces alongside the backend systems that manage production clusters, helping ensure that user requests are handled accurately and safely.

### What You'll Do

- Test the conversational interface end to end, including command accuracy and the actions it performs on live clusters.

- Build evaluations for AI agent behavior, checking answer quality, safe actions, and handling of ambiguous or invalid requests.

- Develop end-to-end tests for the web interface and verify consistent behavior across interfaces.

- Write Go integration tests for multicluster backend workflows, including installation, upgrades, and failover.

- Create and tear down Kubernetes test clusters to validate controllers, operators, and custom resources across Kubernetes versions.

- Verify alert delivery across monitoring and user interfaces, and ensure alerts trigger appropriately.

- Gate releases in CI and turn bugs and incidents into regression tests.

### What We're Looking For

- At least 3 years of experience in QA, SDET, or test automation, building or delivering test suites and automation frameworks.

- Strong Go experience writing integration tests or backend test automation, and experience building end-to-end web UI tests.
