Shape the Future of AI-Powered Authentication
Location - Manchester, United Kingdom - 3 days a week in the office (Hybrid)
We’re looking for a highly skilled Senior QA / Senior Testing Engineer to help bring an innovative authentication product from proof-of-concept to pilot-ready.
This is a critical role, ensuring that next-generation behavioural AI authentication technology is reliable, secure, and scalable before it reaches real-world users.
You’ll take ownership of testing across mobile platforms, APIs, and AI-driven authentication models, working closely with engineering teams to set the gold standard for quality in digital identity security.
What You’ll Do
* Product Testing & Quality Assurance
* Design and implement comprehensive test strategies for mobile authentication platforms
* Build and maintain automated test suites for APIs, apps, and authentication workflows
* Create and maintain test cases covering functional, integration, performance, and security testing
* Carry out functional, integration, regression, performance, and security testing
* Establish CI/CD testing pipelines and collaborate with engineers to deliver seamless releases
* Track, manage, and resolve bugs with a focus on system reliability
* Create frameworks to evaluate behavioural AI models in both lab and real-world environments
* Design and execute tests to measure model accuracy, precision, recall, and false positive/negative rates with real-world data
* Curate datasets for model validation and edge case testing
* Perform bias and edge case testing to ensure fairness across user populations
* Evaluate model performance under various conditions (device types, user behaviours, environmental factors)
* Collaborate with AI engineers to establish model performance benchmarks and acceptance criteria
* Security & Privacy Testing
* Conduct security testing specific to authentication systems and behavioural data handling
* Validate privacy controls and data protection measures
* Test authentication bypass scenarios and potential attack vectors

* Technical Skills:
* Automated testing (Selenium, Appium, Cypress)
* API testing (Postman, REST Assured)
* CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
* Understanding of database testing and SQL
* Experience testing AI/ML or data-driven applications
* Security and performance testing expertise, particularly in authentication systems
* Knowledge of behavioural biometrics or fraud detection systems
* Understanding of privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) as they relate to biometric data
* Analytical and detail-oriented, able to think like both a user and an attacker
