## Description

The ideal candidate brings strong expertise in test automation, software development, and modern quality engineering practices. You will work within an existing enterprise Selenium based automation framework, helping maintain and enhance it while improving test coverage and supporting fast, reliable releases.

A significant portion of the role focuses on automation (approximately 70%), with manual testing (approximately 30%) required for components that are not suitable for automation. The role requires the ability to quickly understand existing frameworks, execute regression cycles, and triage or resolve automation issues under time sensitive release schedules.

You will also collaborate closely with cross functional teams to troubleshoot defects, improve test processes, and embed quality practices throughout the development lifecycle.
