Job Roles & Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain robust Java-based automation frameworks covering APIs, backend services, web applications, and mobile platforms. Build scalable automation suites using Selenium and Appium while improving automation stability, maintainability, execution speed, and overall test coverage. Perform API validation, database verification using SQL, test data management, and end-to-end debugging across application, database, cache, and cloud infrastructure. Collaborate closely with software engineers, product managers, QA teams, and stakeholders to investigate defects, identify root causes, and ensure timely resolution. Develop regression suites, improve release quality, contribute to test strategy, and ensure high-quality software delivery across large-scale consumer applications. Continuously improve automation frameworks, testing processes, quality metrics, and engineering best practices across the software development lifecycle.
