Collaborate with developers and QA to define testing strategies and ensure proper coverage and testability.
Investigate test failures, analyze logs, identify root causes, and work with relevant teams to resolve issues.
Maintain and evolve regression automation suites to reduce manual testing effort and increase release confidence.

Requirements

2+ years of experience in automation development.
Strong programming skills in Python, including writing clean, reusable, and maintainable test code.
Hands-on experience with Playwright, Selenium, or similar UI automation tools (Playwright required, selenium advantage).
Experience with API automation using Python-based frameworks or libraries (e.g., requests, pytest, custom frameworks).
Strong understanding of QA methodologies, testing strategies, and SDLC processes.
Experience with pytest or other Python testing frameworks.
Familiarity with containers and running tests in Dockerized environments.
