- Integrate and maintain automated testing within CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and/or Azure DevOps.
- Analyze test results, identify quality risks, and improve test coverage and regression effectiveness.
- Validate software deployments across cloud-hosted environments and support release readiness activities.
- Troubleshoot automation, environment, and test data issues to improve delivery efficiency.
- Leverage AI-assisted and emerging agentic engineering tools to accelerate test design, automation development, test maintenance, and defect investigation.
- Evaluate AI-generated code, tests, and recommendations, applying sound engineering judgment to ensure maintainability, reliability, and quality.
- Continuously identify opportunities to improve quality engineering efficiency through automation, intelligent tooling, and modern engineering practices.
- Mentor team members and help advance quality engineering standards and best practices.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of experience in software testing, quality engineering, SDET, or related roles.
