Description

Key Responsibilities:

• Framework Development:
  Design and build scalable, maintainable, and reusable test automation frameworks for web, API, and mobile applications using tools such as Playwright, WebDriverIO, RestAssured and related ecosystems.
• Automation Strategy & Optimization:
  Define and evolve the automation strategy across Agile/DevOps teams. Identify opportunities for automation in CI/CD pipelines and drive initiatives to optimize test execution time and coverage. Work with the teams to strategize automation implementation across teams based on feasibility.
• Contribute with POCs:
  Self exploration on tools and suggestions on improvements and implementation in existing frameworks and tools.
• AI/ML Exploration:
  Research and integrate AI/ML-based test automation tools (e.g., self-healing scripts, test data generation, intelligent test case prioritization) to enhance automation effectiveness.
• Mentorship & Upskilling:
  Mentor and train QA engineers and SDETs across multiple teams. Create training materials, conduct workshops, and establish guidelines to promote automation knowledge sharing and growth.
• Best Practices & Governance:
  Define and enforce automation best practices (e.g., test design patterns, code reviews, static analysis, branching strategies). Maintain high standards for test reliability, maintainability, and reusability.
• Continuous Improvement:
  Evaluate new tools, frameworks, and approaches. Recommend and implement future enhancements for test automation platforms and processes.
• Collaboration:
  Work closely with QA Leads, Developers, DevOps, and Product teams to integrate automation in the software development lifecycle and align it with project goals.
• Testing
  Perform Manual & Automation Testing when there is a need in projects.

Required Qualifications:

• 15+ years of experience in Software Testing with 10+ years in Test Automation
• Strong hands-on experience with JavaScript/TypeScript, Playwright, WebDriverIO, and RestAssured
• Expertise in building and scaling test automation frameworks from scratch
• Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and integrating automation tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps)
• Familiarity with BDD/TDD methodologies and tools (e.g., Cucumber, Mocha)
• Experience with API testing, including request/response validation and contract testing
• Exposure to AI/ML in test automation using Claude or interest in exploring modern intelligent testing tools
• Strong knowledge of testing best practices, coding standards, and software quality principles
• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and team collaboration skills
