QA Engineer
micro1 is engaging QA Engineers to contribute expertise in software quality evaluation for a customer's high-volume project.
Hiring companyMicro1
About the role
In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. This opportunity is open to specialists with strong professional QA backgrounds. Prior paid experience with human data annotation, RLHF, model output evaluation, or rubric-based grading for AI training is a plus, but not required.
Responsibilities
- Evaluate and rate AI-generated technical outputs against defined quality criteria and rubrics, identifying answers that may appear correct but are actually inaccurate or incomplete.
- Design and assess comprehensive test cases for functional, regression, and edge-case scenarios, including negative and boundary tests.
- Review bug reports and test documentation to ensure issues are reproducible, documentation is complete, and severity is properly assessed.
- Identify, isolate, and document defects with precise reproduction steps and utilize structured tracking mechanisms.
- Provide detailed, actionable written feedback and annotations to support efficient resolution by developers without the need for clarification.
- Collaborate with project teams to refine evaluation guidelines and ensure continuous improvement of testing standards and methodologies.
Preferred skills
- Proven professional experience as a QA Engineer, SDET, Test Engineer, QA Analyst, or similar role in software quality assurance.
- Strong command of QA fundamentals, including test case design, bug tracking, regression testing, and both manual and automated testing strategies.
- Hands-on experience with automation frameworks and test management tools such as Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Appium, Postman, Jira, TestRail, Zephyr, or BrowserStack (or similar tools).
- Prior paid human data experience supporting AI training — annotation, labeling, RLHF, AI response evaluation, model evaluation, or rubric-based grading — is a plus.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with meticulous attention to detail.
- No formal degree required—practical, demonstrable testing experience takes precedence.
- Reliable internet connection and readiness to begin promptly.
Language requirements
- Ability to communicate complex findings clearly in written English, providing specific, actionable feedback (B2 level or above).
