• Validate data flows, service interactions, and end-to-end business workflows.

• Contribute to non-functional testing including performance, reliability, and stability.

• Support release validation, production readiness, and troubleshooting of complex defects.

Technical Leadership, Mentorship & Quality Advocacy

• Work independently on complex testing and integration tasks with minimal supervision.

• Guide and mentor junior test engineers and support onboarding of new team members.

• Take a leadership role within the scrum team for quality-related topics and initiatives.

• Represent testing values, methods, and best practices within the team (“test conscience”).

Process Improvement & Knowledge Sharing

• Identify and drive improvements in test automation, tooling, and development processes.

• Proactively evaluate and adopt new testing tools, frameworks, and technologies.

• Document testing approaches, automation patterns, and best practices.

• Actively contribute to knowledge sharing and continuous improvement across teams.

Required Skills & Experience

• BE / MCA or higher degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent experience.
