It is ideal for someone who enjoys blending software engineering rigor with quality advocacy in a high-growth, innovation-driven environment.

• Design, build, and maintain scalable automated test frameworks using Playwright and related modern testing tools.
• Partner with developers and product managers throughout the SDLC to define acceptance criteria, refine requirements, and identify quality gaps early.
• Develop and execute automated and API testing strategies across UI, backend, and integration layers to ensure end-to-end system reliability.
• Integrate quality engineering practices into CI/CD pipelines, improving test coverage, reliability, and release confidence.
• Contribute to test architecture decisions, applying scalable design patterns such as Page Object Model and modular test design.
• Participate in incident reviews, monitoring analysis, and customer feedback loops to continuously improve product quality.
• Support UAT activities and translate manual test scenarios into robust automated regression coverage.
• Collaborate with QA leadership to enhance automation practices, tooling, and overall engineering quality standards.
