About the Role We are looking for a hands-on QA Lead to own quality for our Network Digital Twin and agentic AI use cases in the telecoms and broadband domain. You will define how we test AI agents that reason, call tools and act on live network data, and you will build and run that testing yourself. This is not a strategy-only role.

You will set the QA strategy for agentic applications, then write the evaluation harnesses, automation and test scenarios that put it into practice. You will work alongside AI engineers, data scientists, developers and architects on cloud-native systems running on GCP.
