• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines with clear quality gates and failure triage workflows
• Partner with Dev Ops to improve pipeline speed, parallelization, and infrastructure efficiency
• Define and track metrics for automation coverage, test reliability, release confidence, and defect detection
• Lead test strategy for AWS‑hosted services and production‑readiness validation
• Drive defect triage and root cause analysis using logs, telemetry, and observability tools
• Improve test environment setup, service mocking, test data management, and reporting
• Establish automation standards and best practices across engineering teams
• Mentor engineers and promote high‑quality, maintainable test code

• 10+ years of experience in software quality engineering, SDET, or test automation
