Key Responsibilities

Framework Architecture & Development: Design, build, and scale automated testing frameworks for Web Applications, APIs, and/or Mobile Apps from scratch. Write clean, maintainable, and highly efficient automation scripts using modern programming languages (e.g., Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, or C#). Optimize existing automation suites to reduce execution times, eliminate flaky tests, and maximize test coverage.

Establish and enforce automation coding standards, best practices, and code review processes within the QA team.

CI/CD & DevOps Integration

Integrate automated test suites seamlessly into modern CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps).Implement parallel test execution and containerized test environments using tools like Docker or cloud testing grids (e.g., Sauce Labs, BrowserStack). Monitor automation test runs, triage nightly build failures, and work closely with developers to ensure rapid resolution of regressions.

Coding Skills: Robust proficiency in at least one object-oriented or functional programming language (e.g., Python,



Java, TypeScript, or C#).

UI Testing Tools: Proven experience with industry-standard web automation tools like Selenium WebDriver, Cypress, or Playwright.

API Automation: Deep expertise in automated API testing using frameworks like RestAssured, Playwright API, Postman (Newman), or Requests (Python). Database & Tools: Solid proficiency in writing advanced SQL queries to validate backend data, and comfortable using version control systems (Git).

Soft Skills & Process

Leadership Mindset: Proven ability to take technical ownership of QA initiatives and guide architectural decisions.

Collaboration: Strong communicative agility to collaborate across development, DevOps, and product boundaries.

Problem-Solving: Exceptional debugging and root-cause analysis skills to isolate framework issues from true application defects.

Bonus Points (Nice-to-Haves)

Experience with mobile automation frameworks like Appium.

Familiarity with Performance/Load testing tools such as JMeter or K6.

Familiarity with BDD frameworks like Cucumber, Behave, or SpecFlow.

Basic understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
