Success in this role requires both strong analytical skills and the ability to understand how geoscientists perform real-world work. You will help ensure the platform delivers technically correct, reliable, and valuable outcomes for users.

You will support applications in the following domain:

• Geoscience - geology, geophysics, petrophysics, and subsurface modeling

Job Duties

• Develop and execute test plans, test cases, and validation scenarios
• Validate end-to-end workflows across web applications, APIs, AI agents, and supporting services
• Verify the quality and correctness of AI-generated outputs and workflow recommendations
• Work with product owners and domain experts to define expected results and acceptance criteria
• Identify, document, and track defects through resolution
• Validate integrations between applications, services, AI agents, and external data sources
• Participate in requirements reviews and help identify quality risks early in the development process
• Perform functional, regression, integration, and user acceptance testing
• Create and maintain test datasets representative of real geoscience workflows
• Help establish quality standards and testing processes for AI-enabled applications
• Use AI-assisted tools to improve testing, validation, documentation, and productivity

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Geology, Geophysics, Petrophysics, Reservoir Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline
• 5+ years of experience in quality assurance, software validation, product testing, or geoscience workflows
• Experience testing web-based applications and APIs
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills
• Experience creating test plans, test cases, and validation procedures
• Ability to investigate and clearly document defects and unexpected system behavior
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Experience using AI-assisted tools to improve productivity and quality-related activities

Preferred

• Experience working in geology, geophysics, petrophysics, interpretation, reservoir characterization, or related subsurface disciplines
• Experience testing AI-powered applications
• Experience validating AI-generated outputs or recommendations
• Experience with Azure DevOps, TestRail, or similar quality management tools
• Experience testing cloud-native applications and distributed systems
• Experience writing SQL queries and validating application data
• Familiarity with agentic AI concepts, LLMs, or workflow automation systems
• Energy industry experience is a strong plus

Candidates having qualifications that exceed the minimum job requirements will receive consideration for higher level roles given (1) their experience, (2) additional job requirements, and/or (3) business needs.  Depending on education, experience, and skill level, a variety of job opportunities might be available, Principal Software QA, and Technical Advisor QA.

How You Work

You are naturally curious and detail-oriented. You enjoy understanding how users work and identifying situations where software behavior does not match business expectations.

You are comfortable working with engineers and domain experts to determine whether a result is technically correct, operationally useful, and consistent with user expectations. You communicate clearly, raise concerns early, and view quality as a shared responsibility across the team.

You use AI-assisted tools effectively while maintaining independent judgment and validating results before they are accepted.

Why Landmark

We are building an AI-driven platform that automates complex geoscience workflows through intelligent agents and specialized tools.

As a QA Engineer / Geoscience SME, you will play a critical role in ensuring these systems deliver accurate, reliable, and trustworthy results. Your work will directly influence product quality, user confidence, and the successful adoption of AI-powered workflows across the geoscience domain.
