What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Lead SDET/Quality Engineering role where I can build scalable GenAI/LLM test infrastructure, drive zero-regression releases, improve CI performance, and partner closely with engineering to ship safely and fast.

I’m a Lead SDET with 7+ years of experience in platform-level quality engineering across AI-driven, distributed SaaS systems. I specialize in GenAI validation, agentic QA, and LLM quality engineering, including LLM response validation, RAG pipeline testing, and autonomous test generation workflows.

I’ve built and scaled quality infrastructure across fintech (CRED, Paytm), healthtech (Innovaccer), recruitment tech (InfoEdge/Naukri), and developer tools (TestMU AI/LambdaTest). My work has reduced regression cycles by up to 65%, improved defect detection by 70%, and enabled zero-regression releases—backed by scalable test frameworks processing 100K+ daily transactions.

I lead end-to-end validation strategies and cross-functional quality teams of 5 engineers, from migration risk discovery to observability improvements. I’m especially proud of driving agentic QA that reduced manual test creation effort by ~90% and achieving zero regression leakage across major GenAI releases.
