• Developing and maintaining test cases using pytest or unittest frameworks
• Identifying, documenting, and tracking defects, and collaborating with development teams to reproduce and resolve issues
• Analyzing test results and CI pipeline logs to diagnose failures and flaky tests
• Participating in code reviews for test automation scripts and contributing to improving test framework architecture
