Senior Agentic Quality Engineer

Job Description About the role As a Senior Agentic Quality Engineer, you do high-quality test engineering on a platform team, working agentically with Claude Code as your primary collaborator - and you help teammates get better at it. This is a senior IC position. You design and own automated test suites across your team's interfaces, and you lead TOPdesk's move up the testing-maturity curve. You are a specialist and enabler - building quality capabilities and test infrastructure, tackling the hard cross-interface and non-functional risks, and helping engineers own quality. Product engineers and their teams remain accountable for the quality of what they build; you are not a downstream testing gate. We think of quality maturity as a progression: manual testing → hand-writing test automation → writing that automation with AI → bounded agents that observe code changes, generate and repair tests, and help keep suites green. More autonomy is not inherently better - the right level depends on the risk. Agent-generated tests and repairs stay traceable to intended behaviour, suspicious changes are escalated, changes to expected behaviour need human approval, and controls prevent agents from weakening assertions just to make a test pass. Most of the industry sits low on that curve; your job is to move us up it responsibly - and bring your teammates with you. What this is not A manual-QA or test-script-maintenance role, a downstream testing gate, or a role that stops at AI-assisted test writing. You build the agentic quality systems - bounded agents that observe, generate, and repair under human accountability - and you help the team own quality, rather than owning it for them. The team You join a platform or product team, reporting to an Engineering Manager. The team owns a coherent area of the product and exposes interfaces other teams depend on - so correctness, contract stability, and clear failure isolation are central to everythi...
