  • ● Design and evolve scalable test automation solutions across component, integration, contract, API, and end-to-end testing, with a strong focus on backend systems and APIs.
  • ● Ensure test readiness across environments, infrastructure, test data, mocking, service virtualization, and system dependencies.
  • ● Partner with developers and product stakeholders throughout the development lifecycle to identify risks, clarify requirements, improve testability, and prevent defects early.
  • ● Analyze complex test failures and production defects, support root-cause analysis, and use quality metrics and testing insights to identify systemic issues and support informed release decisions.
  • ● Drive Continuous Testing and quality engineering practices within CI/CD, while mentoring engineers and sharing effective testing patterns and practices across teams.
