Test Automation & Technical Delivery
Develop, improve, and maintain automated test suites across frontend and backend components.
Write high‑quality, maintainable automated tests that support rapid delivery and reliability.
Identify and implement a test coverage tool to monitor coverage.
Own the execution and reporting of automated test pipelines within CI/CD workflows.
Monitor test flakiness and stability; proactively diagnose root causes and implement fixes.

Participate in squad ceremonies (stand‑ups, refinement, planning), providing input on test impact and automation needs.
Collaborate with product managers and engineering leads to understand feature requirements and identify test scenarios.
Work within an agile, cloud‑first engineering environment and contribute to continuous improvement of testing processes.
Document and track bugs encountered, providing detailed reproduction steps, environment details and visual documentation to facilitate efficient resolution.
Learning & Growth
Learn from developers to deepen technical skills.
Stay current with modern test automation frameworks, patterns, and tools, recommending improvements where valuable.
Contribute to documentation of test suites, frameworks, and best practices.
