Responsibilities

Design, build, and scale robust, maintainable test automation frameworks from the ground up for backend microservices (APIs), web platforms, and mobile applications (iOS and Android)
Drive functional, integration, and end-to-end automation testing
Write clean, high-quality code (e.g., in Java, Python, C#, or JavaScript/TypeScript) to automate complex financial user journeys
Embed continuous testing into DevOps pipelines
Ensure that every code commit is rigorously and automatically tested for functionality and stability before reaching production
Design and execute automated performance, load, and security tests to proactively identify bottlenecks and vulnerabilities
Ensure systems can handle massive transaction volumes securely
Partner closely with software engineers, product managers, and QA analysts during the design phase
Define testability requirements and ensure quality is built-in from day one rather than tested-in later
Investigate complex issues, debug code, and work alongside developers to trace defects down to the root cause
Implement preventative automation to stop regressions
Continuously evaluate modern testing tools and methodologies (e.g., Appium, Playwright, JMeter, Axios/RestAssured, MySql)
Mentor junior team members and cultivate a culture where quality is a shared engineering responsibility

Proficiency in automation framework design patterns, particularly Keyword-Driven Testing and Page Object Model (POM)
Familiarity with build and CI/CD tools including Maven, TestNG, Jest, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps Pipelines
Experience with test reporting and test management tools such as Extent Reports, Azure/Assure Reports, Jira, and Test management integrations
Proactively identify improvements and fix issues without constant supervision
Mentoring peers and documenting findings to elevate the team's technical bar
Aligning developers and Product Owners with the automation strategy to ensure collective success
