Test Strategy & Execution- Define and implement comprehensive QA strategies covering functional, integration, regression, performance, and UAT testing.
- Ensure end-to-end quality across distributed systems, APIs, and data pipelines.
Automation Engineering- Design, build, and maintain robust automation frameworks using Java, Selenium, and Playwright.
- Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines for continuous testing.
- Expand automation coverage across UI, APIs, and end-to-end workflows.
API, Integration & Data Validation- Test complex integrations between internal systems and external platforms.
- Validate API contracts, ETL processes, Kafka/event-driven systems, and data reconciliation workflows.
Platform & Vendor Testing- Partner with vendor and implementation teams to define acceptance criteria and execute SIT/UAT for third-party applications.
Performance & Reliability- Plan and execute performance, load, and stress testing for services and data pipelines.
- Identify bottlenecks and collaborate with development teams to resolve scalability issues.
Defect & Quality Management- Manage defect lifecycle, including triage and reporting.
