About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define and own the test automation architecture and multi-layer strategy (UI/API/contract/integration/e2e), aligned to product risk and release cadence.
Establish automation standards, patterns, and reference implementations (framework structure, page-object/screenplay usage, test data patterns, reporting).
Drive shift-left testing practices (contract testing, component testing, pre-merge validation) and reduce reliance on fragile end-to-end tests.
Design and implement testing approaches for non-deterministic AI outputs, including: confidence/threshold-based assertions, semantic similarity checks and rubric-based validation, goldens/benchmark datasets and evaluation harnesses, hallucination and groundedness testing strategies, regression detection across model/prompt/version changes.
Define AI test coverage across accuracy, robustness, bias/safety (as applicable), performance, and reliability.
Build and scale high-throughput automation projects that are reliable, fast, and easy to extend.
Improve test execution time, reduce flaky tests, and optimize CI/CD pipelines (parallelization, test selection, retries with guardrails).
