Full Description

Extensive experience in API test automation, including building and maintaining automation suites for REST APIs. Demonstrated ability to define test strategies, test plans, and quality processes for complex, distributed systems. Experience integrating automated API tests into CI/CD pipelines and working in Agile/Scrum environments. Strong background in overall Testing practices, including test design techniques, risk-based testing, and regression optimization. Proven track record of leading small to medium QA/automation teams, providing technical guidance and code reviews for test assets. Ability to analyze logs, traces, and API responses to quickly diagnose issues and support root cause analysis.

Lead end-to-end quality engineering for REST APIs, from requirements analysis to production validation for 5–9 years’ scale projects. Design, implement, and maintain robust API test strategies covering functional, integration, contract, regression, and negative testing. Drive API test automation frameworks and suites, ensuring high coverage, reliability, and maintainability across services and microservices. Collaborate with architects and developers to review API specifications (e.g., Swagger/OpenAPI), ensuring testability, consistency, and adherence to standards. Define and enforce best practices for API testing, automation, and quality gates within CI/CD pipelines. Analyze complex defects and production issues, perform root cause analysis, and work with cross-functional teams to implement long-term fixes. Mentor and guide junior QA/automation engineers on API testing techniques, tools, and automation patterns.
