Job description
- Design, build, and maintain scalable automated test frameworks for UI, API, integration, regression, and end-to-end testing.
- Develop reusable and maintainable automation assets that support continuous testing in CI/CD pipelines.

- Ensure AI-generated outputs remain accurate, traceable, maintainable, and aligned with governance and business standards.
- Collaborate with engineering and quality leadership to define responsible AI adoption within testing practices.
Quality Engineering Across the SDLC
- Work closely with developers, analysts, and product owners to embed quality and testability into solution design.
- Participate in backlog refinement, sprint planning, design reviews, and release readiness reviews.
- Identify risks related to environments, dependencies, integrations, and test data, and recommend mitigation strategies.
- Validate data consistency across UI, APIs, databases, and downstream systems.
- Support root cause analysis through automation results, logs, system behavior analysis, and defect investigation.
- Continuously improve automation coverage, reliability, execution speed, and reporting quality.

- Ability to identify meaningful business impacts and communicate technical issues clearly to stakeholders.
- Experience using AI-assisted tools for automation, debugging, test generation, and productivity improvement.
