Job summary

Deliverance AI is seeking a Senior QA lead for its Platform Engineering team in London. You will own the release quality gate, building automation and regression suites for end-to-end testing across on-premise and cloud deployments.

You will drive strategy, planning and sign-off for releases, ensuring rigorous test standards and governance in a hybrid London environment.

Qualifications

• Proven experience owning QA for a complex SaaS/enterprise platform: strategy, planning, execution and release sign-off.
• Deep release and regression discipline within a structured branching model with formal sign-off before production.
• Meticulous, structured and self-directed; able to define solid standards under release pressure.
• Nice to have: testing AI/LLM-powered products; Kubernetes/Helm; ISO 27001 or SOC 2; UK security clearance eligibility.

Responsibilities

• Own the release quality gate: test every release candidate end-to-end and sign-off before deployment.
• Build and maintain automated test coverage: API, integration, end-to-end UI; CI gated PRs.
• Design regression suites over core journeys: chat, agents, connectors, permissions, governance, reporting.
• Test AI behaviour: verify guardrails and non-deterministic outputs.
• Verify releases across deployment topologies: multi-tenant cloud, single-tenant, on-premise, air-gapped.
• Own defect management end-to-end from reproduction to verified closure.
• Embed a test-as-you-build culture with clear readiness criteria and test docs.

Job description

Deliverance AI is the Enterprise Agentic Operating System, the agentic control plane that sits above an enterprise's data and model planes, where agents are orchestrated, governed, and made accountable to the board. The platform ships with 100+ pre-built agents and 150+ skills, deploys across five modes (hyperscale, neocloud, sovereign, on-premise, and air-gapped), and bundles a forward-deployed engineering team into every subscription. We are UK-founded and built for the regulated enterprise: trust enforced at runtime, ROI measured per workflow, and value delivered in weeks, not years.

About the role

Customers run the platform in some of the most demanding environments in the world, including on-premise and air-gapped deployments where a broken release cannot simply be patched an hour later. You will own quality across the platform and be the gatekeeper for every release: every release candidate passes through a structured QA phase before it ships, and your sign-off is what stands between the engineering team and production. You will build the automation, regression suites and release readiness criteria that make that gate fast and dependable.

This is a Senior role on our Platform Engineering team, London · Hybrid.

What you'll do

• Own the release quality gate: test every release candidate end-to-end and give the go/no-go sign-off before anything ships.
• Build and maintain automated test coverage, API, integration and end-to-end UI, wired into CI so every pull request is quality-gated before merge.
• Design and maintain regression suites over the core journeys: chat, agents, connectors and permissions, model routing, governance and reporting.
• Test AI behaviour, not just code: repeatable approaches for verifying guardrails, evals and routing where outputs are non-deterministic.
• Verify releases across deployment topologies, multi-tenant cloud, single-tenant, on-premise and air-gapped.
• Own defect management end-to-end, from reproduction and triage through to verified closure.
• Embed a test-as-you-build culture: release readiness criteria, coverage standards and clear test documentation.

What we're looking for

• Proven experience owning QA for a complex SaaS or enterprise platform: strategy, planning, execution and release sign-off.
• Deep release and regression discipline within a structured branching model, with formal sign-off before production.
• Meticulous, structured and self-directed, able to define what solid means and hold the line on it under release pressure.
• Nice to have: testing AI or LLM-powered products, Kubernetes and Helm exposure, ISO 27001 or SOC 2 environments, eligibility for UK SC clearance.

How we work

We run on five operating values: trusted at runtime, proof over pitch, speed with control, customer-embedded, and earned reliability. We are not a research lab or a slide deck, we ship software that the board, the CISO, and the auditor all sign off on, and we are measured on whether they did.

What we offer

• Market-leading cash compensation, benchmarked to top-tier London and Dublin markets.
• Hybrid working, with an expectation of around one day a week in the office.
