Role Summary :

Own end-to-end test automation across web, APIs, and mobile apps. You'll architect robust frameworks, increase reliable automation coverage, and coach teams on quality-first practices.

Key Responsibilities :

- Test Strategy & Planning : Define test approach, scope, and risk-based coverage across web, API, and mobile. Convert user stories & acceptance criteria into executable tests.

- Framework Ownership : Design and maintain scalable automation frameworks (Page Object / Screenplay / BDD) with clean architecture, parallel execution, and test data management.

- Web UI Automation : Build reliable Selenium tests for cross-browser coverage; stabilize flakiness (sync/waits, retries, test isolation) and run at scale (Selenium Grid/BrowserStack/Sauce).

- API Testing & Automation : Create automated REST (functional, contract, and negative) including schema validation, auth flows, and mocks/stubs;

- Mobile Testing : Automate native/hybrid apps with Appium (Android/iOS), manage devices/emulators, and integrate runs with device farms.

- Data/Environment : Manage seeded test data, service, and environment config; troubleshoot logs and traces.

- Quality Advocacy : Lead defect triage, root-cause analysis, and prevention; mentor engineers on testability and automation best practices.

- Documentation & Compliance : Maintain living test plans, API collections, runbooks, and traceability to requirements.

Core Skills & Tech :

- Languages : Strong in Java ; solid OOP/design patterns.

- Web Automation : Selenium WebDriver, Selenium Grid; TestNG/JUnit or PyTest; POM/Screenplay; Cucumber (optional).

- API : REST Postma; JSON schema validation; OpenAPI/Swagger

- Mobile : Appium, Xcode tools, Simulator/Emulator management; experience with device clouds.

- Data/Back-end : SQL for validation
