About the Role

We’re seeking a Senior Quality Engineer to join our Data Insights LLM team and lead quality assurance for large language model-powered systems.

This role is ideal for an experienced SDET confident in complex, data-driven environments, collaborating closely with Software Engineers and Product to embed quality throughout the LLM feature lifecycle.

As a Senior Quality Engineer, you’ll shape your team’s quality strategy — from testing and automation to risk-based decisions — while staying hands-on and adapting testing methods for LLMs.

Beyond functional testing, you’ll help define and validate aspects such as accuracy, reliability, and user trust, supporting confident, risk-aware decisions.

For the right candidate, there’s room to grow into wider technical and strategic ownership, influencing quality approaches across the business.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll contribute directly to test design and automation, shaping quality practices as our use of LLMs evolves.

What You'll Do

About You

Bonus Points For:

• Hands on experience testing AI/LLM features, including handling nondeterministic behaviour and helping define or share effective testing approaches for these systems.

• Using heuristics and qualitative measures to assess output quality.

• Leveraging logs, metrics, or telemetry for investigation and validation.

• Familiarity with modern CI/CD workflows and developer tools.

• Experience as sole or primary QE in a team, owning quality end-to-end.

What you’ll get

Working Details

This is a full-time role (37.5 hours per week). We typically work from 09:00 - 17:30 from Monday to Friday, though we can be a little flexible around this, just let us know.

We are ideally looking for someone in/around Edinburgh, though we’re open to the possibility of this being a remote role (if you are in the UK). We are making the most of flexible hybrid working, so you will not need to come into the office everyday (unless you want to!). Our remote staff visit the Edinburgh office periodically for team events, workshops, and to connect with colleagues in person.

Join the team!

Equality of opportunity is more than just a responsibility: we believe it is a huge advantage to welcome a variety of experiences and perspectives into the team. Diversity is a great asset and, as such, we strongly encourage applications from any background.

This is your opportunity to really influence how we get things done, and how we measure and improve our capability to deliver software with high quality in a scalable way. We are doing well, but there are lots more to do to maintain the high bar and pace that we have set.

Everyone here is growing personally as the company grows, so if that sounds like something you would like to be part of, we would love to see your application.  The deadline for applications is Monday 6th April at 12pm. Initial screens and interviews will be conducted around these dates.

Please note the successful candidate for this role will be subject to background checks and will have an opportunity to declare anything to us beforehand
