- Investigate agent-to-MCP-to-tool sequences, covering successful, unsuccessful, boundary, breakdown, and security-focused test conditions
- Evaluate the stability, performance, scalability, and readiness for production of MCP-based services
- Set up quality gates and weave automated testing directly into CI/CD processes
- Identify emerging quality issues,



analyze the root causes of test failures, and work alongside developers and architects to resolve them

Requirements

- A minimum of 7 years of relevant experience, showcasing the ability to independently drive test strategy and quality assurance efforts
- At least 2 years spent guiding and supervising development teams
- In-depth, practical understanding of MCP Server/Model Context Protocol and its structural design
- Strong hands-on Python automation background, including direct experience with API and integration testing
- Experience validating distributed backend systems, APIs, microservices, and their interconnections
- Solid comprehension of GenAI/LLM and agent-driven architectures, including agents, tools, prompts, and MCP-related integrations
- Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and current automated testing approaches
- Keen analytical capabilities with the skill to translate requirements and architectural concepts into detailed test scenarios
- Excellent English communication skills (B2 level or higher)

Nice to have

- Practical familiarity with GitHub for managing version control, enabling team collaboration, and structuring test automation code
