- Establish quality gates for build releases and enforce best practices across squads.

- Mentor junior QA engineers and conduct peer reviews of test code.

- Lead root cause analysis (RCA) of defects, optimize test coverage, and reduce flakiness in automation suites.

- Advocate for continuous improvement in QA processes, driving efficiency, scalability, and reliability.

Technical Skills & Experience Required

Programming & Automation:

- Strong coding skills in JavaScript/TypeScript for automation scripting.

- Hands-on experience with Playwright for UI and API automation.

- Familiarity with Selenium, Cypress, or Puppeteer (optional but valuable).

Testing Expertise:

- UI & API testing using Playwright, Postman, REST Assured, or similar.

- Manual + automation hybrid testing approach.

- Designing data-driven, keyword-driven, and hybrid frameworks.

- Strong knowledge of functional, regression, smoke, and system testing.

Agile & Collaboration:

- Deep understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies, sprint testing, and backlog grooming.

- Proficiency with JIRA or similar tools for defect management and sprint planning.

- Experience in collaborating with cross-functional teams (Developers, Product Owners, DevOps Engineers).

Others (Preferred/Good-to-have):

- Exposure to performance testing tools (JMeter, Gatling).

- Knowledge of cloud-based testing environments (Azure, AWS).

- Familiarity with containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes) for test execution.

- Knowledge of static code analysis tools (SonarQube) and security testing basics.

Key Attributes for Success

- Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills to isolate automation/environment issues.

- Ability to analyze logs, API payloads, and network calls for test validations.

- Ownership mindset with ability to drive QA deliverables independently.

- Passion for test engineering, automation scalability, and DevOps-driven QA practices.
