  • Build or guide solutions across API, UI, integration, E2E, non-functional, and exploratory testing
  • Define quality metrics, dashboards, release evidence, and actionable reporting
  • Drive adoption of AI-assisted SDLC practices, including testing, coding agents, and validation workflows
  • Establish governance and guardrails for AI-driven development (traceability, reviewability, human oversight)
  • Identify risks early and translate them into practical mitigation strategies
  • Mentor engineers and QEs while remaining actively involved in technical delivery
  • Act as a subject matter expert in client discussions, workshops, and technical proposals

 

Skills & Experience

  • Strong hands-on expertise in automation framework design and implementation
  • Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., TypeScript, JavaScript, Java, Python, C#)

  • Good knowledge of DevOps, cloud-native architectures, microservices, and distributed systems
  • Experience with observability tools, metrics, logs, and production feedback loops
  • Exposure to AI-assisted engineering, AI testing, and LLM-based workflows
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Pragmatic mindset balancing quality, speed, and business impact
