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.
