JOB SUMMARY

SafeFleet is shifting to AI-native engineering — Spec-Driven Development, AI-assisted implementation. We're looking for an AI-Native Quality Engineer to bridge traditional test automation with this shift: building agents that generate automation, not just writing automation by hand.

This is a hands-on engineering role. You'll build on existing LLM platforms (e.g., Claude), write and integrate automation into CI/CD, and make sure agent-generated tests are actually correct.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design, develop, and maintain automated test suites (UI and API) within an AI-native test automation framework
• Build agents and AI Skills that generate and maintain automation from specs and requirements
• Analyze specs, define test strategies, and identify where agent-generated automation can be trusted versus reviewed
• Integrate automated tests — traditional and agent-generated — into CI/CD pipelines
• Ensure automation frameworks follow best practices: modularity, reusability, robust reporting
• Troubleshoot and resolve testing challenges independently, providing proactive solutions
• Document automation processes and present results to stakeholders
• Implement cost-control, latency optimization, and retry-logic strategies for production-grade agentic pipelines.
• Ensure the Framework Evolution in terms of transition of our testing ecosystem toward modular, self-healing frameworks that utilize LLM APIs and UI for automated maintenance

Salary: $100,000 - $110,000/yr CAD + 12.5% Bonus
