- Design, develop, and execute test cases against product features and backend systems.
- Maintain and extend automation frameworks (Cypress/Playwright/Locust) by utilizing LLMs for code refactoring, optimizing test scripts, and reducing flaky test patterns.
- Contribute to your development team on best practices, processes, and problem-solving, including the ethical and effective use of AI tools in the QA workflow.
- Develop automated test result reports and highlight any potential quality risks.
- Identify, troubleshoot, and track bugs to resolution, using AI tools to assist in root cause analysis and log interpretation.

- CI/CD and SDLC: Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and software development lifecycle concepts, including code review practices, code coverage analysis, continuous testing, and delivery.
- Tools and Systems: Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git), test management tools (e.g., TestRail), and issue-tracking platforms (e.g., Jira).
- Databases: Working knowledge of relational databases and SQL is a plus.
- Cloud and Deployment: Knowledge of cloud environments (e.g., AWS) and experience with application deployments.
- Test Process: Experience in creating comprehensive test plans, authoring test cases, executing tests, and adhering to QA best practices.
