What this job asks for AI summary
This role centers on building automated testing systems and evaluation frameworks to validate content quality across AI-powered productivity tools, particularly Microsoft 365 and Copilot experiences. Day-to-day work involves designing scalable quality workflows, developing Python-based automation tooling, and creating human-in-the-loop evaluation processes for AI-generated content. It suits someone with a background in test automation or quality engineering who can also interpret data and translate findings into actionable recommendations.

Why we read it this way (10)
The role is titled 'Quality Analyst (AI Quality Engineer) 2' — the '2' appears to be a staffing-level designator, not a standard seniority label, so advertised seniority is treated as Unspecified.
The role is a contract/staffing engagement placed by ManpowerGroup/Experis; the posting explicitly states 'No third party or C2C' and candidates must be US-based. PST hours are required despite the remote designation.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends QA/test automation (15-1253) with software/tooling development (15-1252). The primary framing is quality engineering and test framework design, so 15-1253 was chosen, with 15-1252 as the runner-up.
The degree requirement is a hard gate per the Required Qualifications section; however, no 'or equivalent experience' language is present, so it is treated as a firm Bachelors requirement.
AI tooling is listed as a hard gate with a 1-year minimum; Microsoft Copilot and VSCode are named as preferred examples but 'other tooling experience is acceptable so long as transferable,' so they are marked preferred with each other as alternatives.
The 'test automation' skill consolidates the top must-have requirement of '2-4 years in content testing and automation work including Python'; Python is broken out separately as it is explicitly named as a required skill.
Preferred qualifications (generative AI/LLM evaluation, human-in-the-loop design, content quality measurement, ML/model evaluation, Microsoft 365, internal tools/dashboards) are all listed under the Preferred Qualifications section and marked accordingly.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): human-in-the-loop evaluation.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
