Job Summary

AI2IO is seeking a Senior QA Specialist to build and operationalize our software quality assurance program from the ground up. You’ll establish the standards, tools, and workflows that ensure every AI2IO product—from Power Platform solutions to Revit engineering tools—meets rigorous quality benchmarks. As our first QA hire, you’ll work hands-on within projects while shaping how quality is embedded across all development pods. This is a foundational role for someone who loves creating structure, driving improvement, and championing excellence in every release.

• Develop and maintain reusable test case libraries, templates, and documentation standards.

• Solid grasp of Agile/Scrum methodologies and modern SDLC practices.
• Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to influence without authority.
• Builder mindset — thrives in unstructured environments where new systems and standards are being created.
• Collaborative communicator — enjoys partnering across teams and mentoring others.

• Systems thinker — sees patterns and opportunities for efficiency and consistency.

• ISTQB, CSTE, or equivalent certification preferred but not required.

What Success Looks Like

• A repeatable QA workflow is established and integrated with Azure DevOps pipelines.
• Standardized test documentation and release criteria are in place across all pods.
• Early testing catches and prevents defects before release.
• Quality metrics and dashboards are live and visible to product and development teams.
