Design, create, and maintain realistic and compliant test data sets, including synthetic data for healthcare (PHI-safe) scenarios. Design and execute validation strategies for AI/ML and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) features, including model quality, grounding, and safety evaluation. Major Responsibilities or Assigned Duties: Participate in the test management lifecycle, including test planning, execution tracking, defect management and reporting. Provide input on release readiness criteria to Engineering and Product stakeholders. Maintain the regression suite after every release. Develop and maintain automated test suites in Python (e.g., pytest) and JavaScript/Node.js, integrated into CI/CD pipelines. Write and review complex SQL queries, joins, and aggregations to validate data accuracy, completeness, and reconciliation across systems. Validate data flows across source systems, transformation layers, and reporting/consumption layers. Ensure test data supports both functional automation and AI/ML / RAG evaluation needs.
