Lead QA Engineer (AI Voice)

Growth through diversity, equity, and inclusion. As an ethical business, we do what is right — including ensuring equal opportunities and fostering a safe, respectful workplace for each of us. We believe diversity fuels both personal and business growth.

• Test both predictable behaviour (intents, routing, integrations) and non-deterministic AI behaviour.

• Evaluate prompts and LLM responses, using test datasets and scoring criteria.

• Lead UAT: planning, scenarios, test data, coordination of business testers and sign-off recommendation.
