Roles & Responsibilities
● Own test automation for web, API and mobile applications across one or more product lines, working closely with engineering and product to understand changes and prioritise testing.
● Design, build and maintain automation frameworks from scratch or restructure existing ones,



using AI-assisted development tools to deliver in aggressive timelines without compromising maintainability.
● Write, enhance and execute automated functional, regression and acceptance suites, integrated into CI/CD pipelines with reliable reporting.
● Validate end-to-end flows across the front end, backend services and databases, including data setup, teardown and verification through SQL.
● Shift testing left: review requirements and designs for testability, and contribute to API contracts and test strategies before code lands.
● Triage, log and track defects by severity and priority, and drive them to closure with engineering, product and operations.
● Continuously evaluate current tools, including AI agents and MCP-based testing integrations, and bring practical improvements to the team's workflow.
● Mentor junior QA engineers and contribute to automation standards and best practices across the team.
