• Lead automation strategy at the solution and system level, ensuring appropriate test coverage across UI, API, integration, and non‑functional layers.
• Actively contribute hands‑on automation within sprint cycles, prioritizing maintainability, reliability, execution speed and cost reduction.
• Continuously evaluate and improve automation architecture, tools, processed and patterns (e.g., test pyramid adherence, framework modularity, execution optimization).
• Identify and leverage every opportunity to reduce manual effort by introducing automation, improving test data strategies, and eliminating redundant tests.
• Implement and maintain CI/CD integrated automation, ensuring fast, reliable feedback in pipelines.
• Troubleshoot complex automation failures, identify root causes, and implement long‑term fixes.
• Design, automate and execute non‑functional testing (performance, load, stress, endurance, accessibility, basic security validation).
• Ensure automation and test code follow clean code principles and industry best practices.
• Provide QA perspective throughout the entire product development lifecycle, with strong emphasis on early defect prevention.
• Partner with Product and Engineering to ensure requirements are clear, testable, and automation‑friendly.
