Primary Accountabilities 

Build, enhance, and support automated test scripts in Java using tools and frameworks including Cucumber BDD, Selenium, Playwright, and RestAssured. 

Work closely with software engineering and QA colleagues to understand functionality and assemble a resilient, end-to-end automation suite. 

Connect automated tests to CI/CD workflows, including Jenkins, so testing and deployment can run continuously. 

Plan and perform performance, load, and stress tests to validate the stability and scalability of applications. 

Contribute to peer code reviews and recommend improvements that maintain high standards in test code. 

Interpret test outcomes, produce clear reports, and enhance coverage, traceability, and overall testing efficiency. 

Monitor new testing tools, techniques, and practices, applying relevant developments to improve the test lifecycle. 

Prepare test cases directly and use test management platforms such as TestOps and JIRA.

A proven background in validating REST APIs and web-based services. 

Experience working with message-queue technologies such as MQ and event-streaming platforms such as Kafka.
