Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and implement robust test automation frameworks from scratch for web UI and API
testing.
Build scalable, reusable, and maintainable automation architecture using tools such as Playwright, Rest
Assured, and other relevant automation utilities aligned to project needs
Develop automated test scripts for functional, regression, integration, smoke, and end-to-end test
coverage.
Leverage AI-assisted capabilities in automation engineering for test case generation, script acceleration,
maintenance optimization, intelligent defect analysis, and productivity improvement.
Evaluate and apply the right automation tools, libraries, and framework design patterns based on
application architecture and testing scope.
Integrate automation suites with CI/CD pipelines to enable faster and reliable continuous testing, building
on the role’s stated CI/CD exposure requirement.
Work closely with developers, business analysts, and QA teams to embed automation into the software
delivery lifecycle.
Analyze failures, debug automation issues, reduce flaky tests, and improve framework stability and
execution efficiency.
Contribute to process improvement initiatives to expand automation coverage and enhance testing quality,
which is directly consistent with the original requirement to improve automation coverage and testing
processes.
Strong experience in Automation Testing, with supporting experience in Manual Testing where required.
Proven hands-on experience in developing automation frameworks from scratch.
Strong expertise in UI Automation using Playwright.
Good exposure to API Automation using Rest Assured.
Experience working with multiple automation tools, frameworks, and supporting utilities across UI, API,
and test management layers.
Strong understanding of test framework design, automation architecture, test planning, and defect
tracking.
Experience in writing, enhancing, and maintaining automation scripts for long-term scalability.
Good analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
Understanding of version control systems such as Git and collaborative engineering practices, consistent
with the source requirement.
