Senior Agentic Quality Engineer

As a Senior Agentic Quality Engineer, you do high-quality test engineering on a platform team, working agentically with Claude Code as your primary collaborator — and you help teammates get better at it. 

This is a senior IC position. You design and own automated test suites across your team's interfaces, and you lead TOPdesk's move up the testing-maturity curve. You are a specialist and enabler — building quality capabilities and test infrastructure, tackling the hard cross-interface and non-functional risks, and helping engineers own quality. Product engineers and their teams remain accountable for the quality of what they build; you are not a downstream testing gate. 

We think of quality maturity as a progression: manual testing → hand-writing test automation → writing that automation with AI → bounded agents that observe code changes, generate and repair tests, and help keep suites green. More autonomy is not inherently better — the right level depends on the risk. Agent-generated tests and repairs stay traceable to intended behaviour, suspicious changes are escalated, changes to expected behaviour need human approval, and controls prevent agents from weakening assertions just to make a test pass. Most of the industry sits low on that curve; your job is to move us up it responsibly — and bring your teammates with you. 

What this is not  A manual-QA or test-script-maintenance role, a downstream testing gate, or a role that stops at AI-assisted test writing. You build the agentic quality systems — bounded agents that observe, generate, and repair under human accountability — and you help the team own quality, rather than owning it for them.
