About the role: As a Automation QA Engineer, become a part of a cross-functional development team engineering experiences of tomorrow. The Project: We are partnering with B&R Industrial Automation to significantly upgrade the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture of their AS client's system. Our goal is to drastically reduce AI hallucinations in code generation and optimize retrieval latency without re-architecting their existing platform. Responsibilities: Own the evaluation lifecycle, offline acceptance testing, and KPI measurement for the AS client's RAG pipeline Lead the co-creation and management of the project's "golden dataset" to consistently benchmark AI performance Implement and manage the RAGAS evaluation harness and automated CI/CD regression testing Track, classify, and build root-cause taxonomies for LLM hallucinations, with a specialized focus on code-generation correctness Golden Dataset & Baselines: Collaborate with client domain experts and technical leads to build a robust synthetic test set (~90+ queries across multiple categories) and establish baseline metrics for Faithfulness, Context Precision, and Answer Relevance Evaluation Harness: Build and automate evaluation pipelines using RAGAS and custom Python scripts, enabling A/B comparisons between the baseline, MVP, and full implementation Regression & CI/CD Guardrails: Implement automated CI/CD regression checks within Azure DevOps, ensuring that a >5% drop in core metrics automatically blocks pipeline deployments Hallucination Tracking: Develop a root-cause taxonomy for hallucinations and track code-generation queries separately to ensure the AI generates functionally correct and compilable output Performance Benchmarking: Measure and monitor pipeline latency, rigorously validating P95 latency targets (sub-4.5s) under representative concurrent load Requirements: Background: Mid-to-Senior level experience in Data Science, Machine Learning Evaluation, AI Quality Assurance, or Data Engineering Evaluation Frameworks: Deep, hands-on experience with LLM evaluation frameworks (e.g., RAGAS, DeepEval, TruLens) and establishing human-anchored or synthetic benchmarks Technical Stack: Strong proficiency in Python. Solid experience with CI/CD tools (especially Azure DevOps) and integrating complex test suites into automated deployment pipelines Data & Observability: Experience working with databases (PostgreSQL) and integrating custom telemetry or observability data (e.g., Azure App Insights) into evaluation reports Analytical Mindset: Strong attention to detail with the ability to perform rigorous error analysis, build structured taxonomies for failures, and identify embedding drift Personal skills: Highly collaborative and data-driven; comfortable working directly with client SMEs to validate queries and presenting evaluation scorecards to guide engineering decisions What`s in it for you? Strong community: Work alongside top professionals in a friendly, open-door environment Growth focus: Take on large-scale projects with a global impact and expand your expertise Tailored learning: Boost your skills with internal events (meetups, conferences, workshops), Udemy access, language courses, and company-paid certifications Endless opportunities: Explore diverse domains through internal mobility, finding the best fit to gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies Flexibility: Enjoy flexibility – full remote working possibilities Care: We’ve got you covered with company-paid medical insurance, mental health support, and financial & legal consultations About us: At Ciklum, we are always exploring innovations, empowering each other to achieve more, and engineering solutions that matter.
