You have previously worked in the airline or travel domain and have an excellent understanding of airline distribution (NDC, GDS, direct connect), fares and pricing, order management, and disruption handling.

Lead test strategies for complex airline integrations (GDS, NDC aggregators, PSS, payments, revenue management). Ensure robust test data, environments and observability (logs, metrics, traces) to speed up defects' detection and root-cause analysis. Ensure key regression and high-risk flows are continuously automated in the pipeline.

Provide technical leadership and mentorship to Senior QEs, SDETs and developers on test design, automation and quality practices. Lead cross-team quality initiatives (shared frameworks, contract testing, API mocking, reusable airline test libraries). Influence product and release decisions by clearly explaining quality risks, coverage and trade-offs to senior stakeholders.
