Junior Test Engineer (VOR)

Responsibilities: • Test VOR’s web interfaces, APIs, and workflows, including how users connect data sources, configure tools and agents, and review workflow results.

• Explore real user scenarios, edge cases, and failure conditions to find issues beyond documented acceptance criteria.

• Work with developers and product owners to clarify expected behavior and identify quality risks early.

• Document defects with clear reproduction steps, expected and actual results, and useful evidence such as screenshots, logs, or API responses.

• Use approved AI tools to help explore test scenarios, generate test data, draft automation, and investigate failures. Review and verify their output.

• Build and maintain automated tests with guidance from experienced engineers, prioritizing repeatable checks that protect important user journeys.

• Help evaluate AI-enabled features for grounded responses, useful citations, appropriate tool behavior, and consistent handling of uncertainty.

• Test permissions, data boundaries, approval steps, and error recovery to help ensure workflows behave appropriately.

• Investigate failed tests, distinguish product defects from test or environment issues, and verify fixes.

• Contribute clear testing evidence and communicate remaining risks to support release decisions.
