About the role

Architect and Maintain Frameworks: Architect and maintain robust, scalable test automation frameworks for our platform, covering UI (Cypress, Playwright), API (Postman, REST Assured), and performance testing.
Test Cloud-Native Services: Develop and execute comprehensive automated test suites for our serverless applications (AWS Lambda, AppSync) and containerized services (GKE, Cloud Run).
Drive Modernized Testing Strategies: Champion and implement advanced testing methodologies including contract testing for microservices, visual regression testing for UIs, component testing, and chaos engineering principles to ensure system robustness.
Innovate with AI in Testing: Research, pilot, and implement AI-powered tools and techniques to enhance testing efficiency and effectiveness. This includes exploring solutions for auto-generated tests, intelligent test case selection, and anomaly detection in test results.
Integrate Testing in CI/CD: Design and implement automated testing strategies within CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline) to ensure efficient and reliable quality gates.
Improve Code Coverage: Collaborate with development teams to analyze and increase test coverage, utilizing tools and reports to identify gaps and ensure critical application paths are validated.
Analyze and Report: Implement and manage test reporting solutions, leveraging logs (CloudWatch, Logz.io) and monitoring data (Datadog) to ensure clear visibility into product quality and rapid issue resolution.
Collaborate and "Shift-Left": Work closely with developers and QA to integrate "shift-left" testing practices, promoting a culture of quality ownership throughout the development lifecycle.
Validate Resiliency and Compliance: Validate application behavior across multi-region configurations to ensure high availability and fault tolerance while meeting compliance requirements (e.g., SOC 2, PCI DSS).
