Review deliverables/activities as identified in the test plans for accuracy, consistency, completeness and compliance.
Ensure adequate test coverage for every release
Validate automated test coverage and directly contribute code to close gaps.
Mentor and provide day‑to‑day guidance to the junior members of the software test team.
Review work to ensure compliance and quality
Offer technical input when needed, but your primary responsibility is writing high‑quality automated tests and frameworks.
Provide feedback and suggest improvements to the Agile SDLC process
Identify inefficiencies and propose automation‑driven improvements that accelerate development and testing.
Strategically incorporate automated testing into the SDLC
Drive a fully automated testing approach. Manual testing is not part of this role.
UI automation is required, and mobile automation experience (especially Appium) is a major advantage.
Evaluate new tools for adoption within the organization
Assess and recommend automation tools, frameworks, and libraries that improve speed, reliability, or maintainability.
Develop and Optimize Automation Scripts and Frameworks
Design, code, and maintain automated test frameworks using Python or another modern programming language (Java, etc.).
Expect to spend the majority of your day writing code, building automation frameworks, and creating scalable automated test suites.
Automation of Testing Processes
Build end‑to‑end automated test suites across UI, mobile, integration, and system layers.
Candidates must have recent, hands‑on experience writing automated tests—not overseeing them, not delegating them.
Implement and Manage CI/CD Pipelines
Collaborate with DevOps as needed. CI/CD familiarity is helpful but secondary to strong coding and automation engineering skills.
Automation Solutions Customization
Adapt automation frameworks to meet regulatory and product‑specific requirements.
Ensure solutions are maintainable, reliable, and compliant.
Maintenance and Enhancement of Automated Systems
Continuously improve automation frameworks and test suites.
Identify opportunities to replace manual testing with automated solutions and implement them directly.
Collaboration and Technical Leadership
Work closely with developers and QA team members to ensure automation is deeply integrated into the development lifecycle.
Provide technical insight without serving in a lead or managerial capacity.
Technical Documentation and System Documentation
Produce clear, concise documentation for automated tests, frameworks, and processes.
Ensure documentation meets regulatory and compliance requirements.
