• Collaborate closely with Software Engineers, Product Managers, Designers, and QA team members to ensure product quality throughout the development lifecycle.
• Investigate test failures, identify root causes, and partner with development teams to resolve issues.
• Establish and promote automation best practices, coding standards, and quality engineering principles.
• Continuously improve test reliability, execution efficiency, maintainability, and reporting.

Must Have Qualifications

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and critical-thinking abilities.
• 3+ years of experience designing, building, and maintaining automated test frameworks.
• Experience automating web, mobile, or API testing in a code-based automation framework.
• Experience troubleshooting complex application and test automation issues.
• Experience working within Agile development environments.
• Ability to review, debug, and maintain production-quality automation code.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Appium, WebdriverIO, and Mocha.
• Experience testing native and hybrid mobile applications.
• Experience automating complex API and UI workflows.
• Experience with authentication handling, session management, webhooks, and end-to-end testing.
• Experience integrating test automation into CI/CD pipelines.
• Knowledge of OWASP Top 10 and application security testing practices.
• Experience with Jira, Postman, and Figma.
• Experience using GitHub Copilot or similar AI-assisted development tools.
