• Assess and advise on AI-powered features, tools, and integrations within the learning technology ecosystem
• Stay current with developments in AI technologies relevant to the platform and propose practical applications

Stakeholder & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Liaise with customer stakeholders, project managers, and operations teams on technical quality and solution matters
• Provide technical input during design reviews, change advisory processes, and operational readiness activities
• Prepare and present technical reports, architecture diagrams, and QA summaries for project and management review

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline
• At least 3-5 years of relevant experience in QA engineering, solution architecture, or a combined technical role
• Hands-on experience with test automation frameworks and testing tools (e.g. Selenium, Postman, JMeter, or equivalent)
• Experience with enterprise digital platforms, cloud-based systems, or Learning Management Systems (LMS)
