RESPONSIBILITIES- Own end-to-end quality assurance for data- and AI-driven analytics platforms: test planning, case design, execution, regression and release sign-off.
- Build and maintain automated API, database, UI and browser-extension tests, and keep them running in CI so regressions surface before release.
- Design verification for AI-generated outputs such as drafted content, diagnostic conclusions and recommendations: define correctness criteria and run prompt and model-version regression.
- Validate data pipelines, metric calculations and access boundaries against source systems, confirming that figures reconcile and tenant data isolation holds.
- Log, reproduce and track defects to closure with clear evidence, and maintain test documentation and release records with product and development teams.

- Bachelor’s degree or above in Computer Science, Information Technology or relevant majors.
- Minimum 2 years of full-time QA experience for web platforms or data products.
- Hands-on Python scripting for automated API testing; able to read code and logs to find root causes.
- Proficient in SQL for data verification, with basic exposure to NoSQL such as MongoDB.
- Solid understanding of REST APIs, authentication and permission models, and multi-tenant data isolation.
- Experience testing AI or LLM-powered features, such as generated-content quality and prompt regression, is preferred.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and test tooling such as pytest or Playwright is a strong plus.
- Detail-oriented; able to judge whether results are correct, not merely whether they run.
- Candidates with insufficient experience may be recruited as Assistant QA Engineer.
- Degree or above in Computer Science / Information Technology or related discipline.
- Good verbal and written communication skills in both Chinese and English
