- Validate financial transactions, portfolio flows, data accuracy, and business-critical logic.
- Drive cross-device, OS-version, and real-user condition testing.
- Conduct defect triage, root cause analysis, and preventive quality improvements.
Automation & Continuous Testing
- Identify high-value, repeatable test scenarios and automate them to accelerate regression cycles.
- Build and maintain mobile automation frameworks for Flutter apps using tools like Appium.
- Automate API and integration test flows using Postman / RestAssured or equivalent tools.

Quality Strategy & Process Excellence
- Define and implement a scalable QA strategy aligned with rapid product releases.
- Establish quality gates, test coverage models, and release health metrics.
- Drive shift-left testing practices in collaboration with engineering teams.
- Ensure performance, reliability, and stability of mobile and backend systems.
- Create clear quality dashboards and stakeholder reporting.
- Mentor QA team members and set testing standards, frameworks, and best practices.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with Flutter developers to ensure UI/UX, responsiveness, and functional correctness.
- Partner with Java/Spring Boot backend teams for early integration validation.
- Collaborate with DevOps teams for environment readiness and CI/CD quality checks across AWS & GCP.
