Senior SDET

Overview

Verantos ( https://verantos.com ) is the market leader in high-accuracy real-world evidence (RWE) generation. The Verantos RWE platform integrates heterogeneous real-world data sources and generates evidence with the accuracy necessary for regulatory and reimbursement use. The platform leverages data science and artificial intelligence, along with advanced data sources such as electronic health records (EHR), to generate RWE capable of supporting complex clinical studies. Some of the largest biopharma companies in the world are Verantos customers.

We use a heterogeneous AWS-centric tech stack with data processing, AI, workflows, and analytics. Our teams are cross-functional and collaborative, bringing together engineering, product, design, QA, and clinical domain experts to deliver meaningful, real-world impact.

This position is open only to candidates currently based in Pune.

Description

We're looking for a Senior SDET to own end-to-end quality for assigned product features across web apps and backend APIs, with a strong focus on evaluating AI/LLM-powered workflows. You'll build CI-gated automation and evaluation harnesses — covering UI, API, and non-deterministic AI agent behavior — set testing standards for the team, and drive a shift-left quality culture with engineering and product teams.

Responsibilities

Design and maintain Python-based test automation frameworks for UI (Playwright) and REST APIs — reusable, scalable, and maintainable across the team's test suites

Build automated evaluation suites for AI/LLM-powered features — tracking output correctness, hallucination rate, and regression across model/prompt versions — using tools such as Langfuse, Ragas, or equivalent

Collaborate with engineering leads to define and integrate CI/CD quality checks in GitHub Actions — wiring test suites and evaluation runs into the pipeline and agreeing on pre-merge gates that block on failed tests, evaluation-score thresholds, or schema-compatibility issues

Set testing standards and best practices for automation and AI evaluation, and mentor other SDETs on the team

Contribute to acceptance criteria and flag quality risks early, working with cross-timezone engineering and product stakeholders

Execute release verification for assigned features — feature-flag checks, smoke tests, and rollback validation

Qualifications

5+ years as an SDET with end-to-end quality ownership across web apps, backend APIs, and release processes

Strong Python skills for test automation, API testing, and Pytest; hands-on experience with Playwright

Experience evaluating AI/LLM-powered features — familiarity with metrics such as hallucination rate, output correctness, or LLM-as-judge approaches, and hands-on experience with at least one evaluation/tracing tool (e.g., Langfuse, Ragas)

Experience integrating quality checks into CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions (or equivalent) — writing and maintaining pre-merge checks, test/quality gates, and pipeline configuration

Track record of setting testing standards or mentoring other engineers/SDETs

Strong communication skills; comfortable working across time zones

Bachelor's in CS, Engineering, or equivalent experience

Nice to Have

SQL proficiency and experience validating ETL/batch transforms in Snowflake, Athena, or equivalent; familiarity with idempotency and failure recovery

Experience testing access control and data security in multi-tenant systems (RBAC, dataset-level permissions); exposure to compliance frameworks such as HIPAA, SOC 2, or HITRUST

Working knowledge of AWS (S3, ECS, CloudWatch) and tracing/logging tools

Experience conducting performance, load, or stress testing (k6, JMeter)

Familiarity with healthcare data infrastructure, the OMOP Common Data Model (CDM), or clinical vocabularies

Why Verantos?
