What is this role about?

Seeking a highly hands‑on QE Engagement Lead to drive quality validation for application modernization and migration initiatives involving Agentic AI .NET, Angular, AWS, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL.

This is not a Test Manager role. The ideal candidate must be technically strong, capable of coding, reviewing automation, validating migrations, and leading client‑facing QE engagements.

Mandatory Skills (Non‑Negotiable)

Agentic AI in Quality Engineering

• Hands‑on experience building/customizing AI agents for test automation, test generation, defect triage, and impact analysis.
• Experience with tools such as Git Hub Copilot, Claude Code, Kiro, Cursor, or similar.

Playwright Automation

• Strong hands‑on experience building, debugging, and maintaining Playwright automation frameworks.
• Ability to solve real‑world automation challenges, not just provide high‑level guidance.

Data Migration Testing

• Proven experience validating migrations involving SQL Server and PostgreSQL.
• Expertise in source‑to‑target reconciliation, ETL validation, data quality checks, schema mapping, and functional parity testing.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the single point of contact for client QA leadership; own weekly reporting and the escalation path.
• Report status against evidence — execution logs, failure artefacts, coverage traceability — rather than self‑reported completion percentages.
• Manage scope and estimate conversations, including re‑confirming indicative timelines once the application estate has been inspected.
• Review the client’s existing automation framework, test organisation, governance and result‑tracking model, and produce an agreed hybrid approach that combines it with Zensar practices.
• Extend the client’s existing Azure Dev Ops pipeline rather than standing up a parallel one.
• Lead reverse engineering of application workflows, code, database objects and configuration into a structured knowledge base where documentation is missing or outdated.
• Establish coverage truth — assess the existing test estate against real business processes, identify duplicate, stale, orphaned and non‑executable cases, and quarantine flaky tests.
• Build and maintain requirement‑to‑test traceability, and drive a risk‑ranked gap list to closure.
• Own the pre‑migration baseline — full execution on the legacy platform, with results, configuration and data snapshots frozen.
• Lead post‑cutover parity validation —…
