About RapidCanvas
RapidCanvas is an AI-powered data application platform that helps businesses build, deploy, and scale intelligent applications faster. We’re a fast-growing startup, passionate about simplifying data workflows, accelerating insights, and enabling decision-making through automation and innovation.
We are looking for a Lead SDET to join our core engineering team and establish a world-class test automation ecosystem. This role is ideal for someone excited about applying AI-driven techniques in software testing and quality assurance.
What we are looking for
As a Lead SDET, you will design and own the end-to-end test automation strategy, integrating AI and ML-based testing tools to improve efficiency, coverage, and reliability. You will mentor engineers, collaborate with product/DevOps teams, and ensure our AI-first platform delivers at scale with uncompromising quality.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and implement the automation strategy across web, APIs, backend, and data workflows.
- Build and maintain test automation frameworks with AI-assisted capabilities (self-healing tests, intelligent test case prioritization, flaky test detection).
- Leverage AI/ML models to generate, optimize, and maintain test cases from requirements and user stories.
- Integrate AI-powered analytics to detect anomalies in system performance, user flows, and error patterns.
- Use natural language processing (NLP) models to create chatbot-driven test cases and validate conversational interfaces.
- Collaborate with developers to implement shift-left testing and embed AI-driven unit/integration test generation.
- Define quality dashboards with predictive insights (defect trends, release risk scoring, auto root-cause suggestions).
- Conduct AI-based regression impact analysis to optimize test execution pipelines.
- Explore generative AI tools for auto-generating mock data, load scenarios, and security attack simulations.
- Mentor team members in adopting AI-first testing practices.
Key Skills Required
- 8+ years of experience in QA/SDET roles, with 2+ years in a leadership role.
- Strong programming skills in Python/Java/JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Hands-on expertise in test automation frameworks (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, etc.) and API testing (Postman, RestAssured,Java HTTPClient).
- Proven experience in integrating AI/ML tools into test automation pipelines. Examples:
- Self-healing automation tools (Testim, Mabl, Functionize, etc.)
- AI-driven test case generation & prioritization
- Intelligent anomaly detection for QA metrics
- Familiarity with AI-based load/performance testing (e.g., using ML models to predict scale issues).
- Experience in CI/CD with AI integration (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab, etc.).
- Knowledge of data validation testing for AI/ML models (bias, drift, accuracy validation) is a strong plus.
- Excellent communication, leadership, and mentoring skills.
Why Join RapidCanvas?
- High-impact opportunity: Play a pivotal role in building a new business vertical within a rapidly growing AI company.
- Next-gen technology: Sell a flexible, AI-powered alternative to legacy SCM solutions.
- Strong leadership & funding: Backed by top-tier investors, our leadership team has deep experience scaling AI-driven businesses.
