• Drive Gen‑AI/LLM experimentation, including self‑healing tests, autonomous test‑case generation, and AI‑assisted defect triage, transitioning validated prototypes into production platforms.
• Guide feature teams on modern quality practices such as Shift‑Left, Dev Test Ops , contract testing, performance engineering, data validation, and program‑level quality governance.
• Integrate and optimize vendor testing platforms/tools to maximize business value and ROI.
• Collaborate with product managers, architects, engineers, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into scalable quality solutions.
• Work with application teams to apply testing strategies, standards, and tools to agile delivery confidently.
• Facilitate global knowledge sharing, cross‑team alignment, and continuous improvement across geographically dispersed squads.
• Participate in incident management, root‑cause analysis, and post‑mortems, providing consultative recommendations to prevent recurrence.
• Contribute to funding prioritization and roadmap planning to ensure efficient use of resources.
• Mentor and coach engineers, fostering technical growth and promoting agile best practices.
• Utilize design thinking, Dev Test Ops  pipelines, and infrastructure‑as‑code to improve speed and quality.
• Stay abreast of emerging technologies in Gen‑AI, cloud architecture, containerization, microservices, and observability, applying relevant innovations to ongoing work.
• Document architectures, quality standards, and strategies thoroughly for maintainability and knowledge transfer.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline (or equivalent experience).
• 10+ years of hands‑on software or quality engineering experience with demonstrated technical leadership.
• Proven expertise in building and integrating large‑scale test automation frameworks within AWS environments.
• Hands‑on skills with at least two of the following:
  Playwright, UIPath, Rest Assured, Postman, Pact.
• Experience embedding automated tests into CI/CD pipelines using Git Hub Actions, Azure Dev Ops, or similar.
• Solid understanding of cloud‑native architectures, microservices, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and infrastructure‑as‑code.
• Familiarity with performance/load testing tools (k6, JMeter, Load Runner) and observability platforms (Data Dog).
• Exposure to Gen‑AI/LLM‑powered testing tools (Copilot, OpenAI) or custom prompt/embedding solutions.
• Strong communication, facilitation, consensus‑building, and stakeholder‑management skills.
• Proven ability to mentor and elevate team technical capabilities.
