Position Summary
PhoenixTeam is seeking an AI Quality Engineer to support a federal customer. The AI Quality Engineer will help design and implement AI-enabled solutions, develop and integrate AI capabilities, and ensure that skills, agents, and AI-generated prototypes meet quality, security, and compliance standards as they move toward production.
This work supports broader modernization goals: automating and streamlining servicing operations, reducing manual processing, improving data quality, aligning with the customer's modernization standards, and establishing a roadmap toward the eventual retirement of legacy platforms.
Key Responsibilities
AI Solution Design & Quality Assurance
- Design and implement AI-enabled solutions for customer modernization use cases, developing and integrating AI capabilities into existing systems and workflows.
- Establish and enforce a quality assurance framework — test plans, acceptance criteria, and regression suites — for validating AI-generated code, skills, and agents before they are promoted through the innovation pipeline.
Skills, Agents & Testing Frameworks
- Guide the development of reusable AI skills and agents for customer modernization tasks, with particular emphasis on automated testing, security scanning, data sensitivity, and scalability.
- Collaborate with DevOps engineers to create and orchestrate long-running, multi-agent workflows, ensuring reliability, observability, and recoverability in production environments.
Innovation Pipeline & Prototype Validation
- Support creation of the innovation pipeline that moves AI-generated (“vibe-coded”) prototypes from sandbox concepts into secure, enterprise-grade applications.
- Support Value Engineers' efforts by reviewing and quality-checking prototype outputs for accuracy, reliability, and adherence to standards prior to pipeline promotion.
- Continuously monitor AI-assisted development outputs for accuracy, reliability, and compliance drift, feeding findings back to Value Engineers and AI Engineers to improve prompts, skills, and agents over time.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- Demonstrated experience in software quality assurance, test engineering, or a related discipline, including test plan design and defect management.
- Hands-on experience testing or validating AI-generated code, prototypes, or “vibe-coded” solutions for accuracy and reliability.
- Experience with automated testing tools and frameworks (e.g., Selenium) across web and enterprise applications.
- Experience with one or more of the following: Salesforce, AWS (including Lambda and Redshift), Java, or PostgreSQL, or a comparable enterprise technology stack.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and quality gates within modern software delivery practices.
- Strong analytical skills, with the ability to identify security, data-sensitivity, and compliance risks in AI-assisted solutions.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work across product, engineering, data, and business SME teams.
- Must be a U.S. citizen and eligible to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance / favorable suitability determination.

- Direct experience supporting Federal clients
- Experience with FedRAMP authorization processes
- Mortgage, fintech, or other regulated industry experience (preferred, not required — willingness to learn quickly is essential).
