  • Use AI innovatively to support and accelerate QA automation development tasks.
  • Test configuration-driven or multi-tenant products whose behavior varies by customer or environment.
  • Contribute to shared team tools and standards to accelerate automation across the team.
  • Own broader quality outcomes beyond test execution by improving processes, documentation, and team ways of working.
  • Stay current with testing tools, technologies, and methodologies as part of continuous improvement.
  • Collaborate with staff QA automation developers to improve quality assurance processes and practices across the organization.
  • Work with product managers to define comprehensive test plans from design documents such as PRDs and HLDs.
  • Support user acceptance testing for key projects, such as onboarding new partners or clients.
  • Review and execute manual test cases and scripts for features under development using test management and tracking tools, and provide the project team with feedback on their automation potential.
  • Manually validate features against test plans and integrate those scenarios into the automated regression test suite.
Desired Qualifications
