• Analyze automated test results, identify variances, and document defects with clear, actionable detail.
• Contribute daily to the variance dashboard, including validation of anomalies, trend analysis, and defect triage.
• Collaborate with development, architecture, and operations teams to validate integration points between legacy platforms and modernized systems.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies, backlog refinement, and sprint planning to ensure test automation aligns with evolving system requirements.
• Support continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) automation efforts, ensuring all automated tests run reliably within delivery pipelines.
• Ensure test automation best practices, coding standards, and quality gates are consistently applied across the project.
• Must be eligible to obtain Public Trust clearance.

• Hands-on experience with modern test automation frameworks and tools (e.g., Selenium, Java/Python automation frameworks, Postman, REST-Assured, Cucumber/Gherkin, TestNG, JUnit).
• Experience validating data-intensive or batch-driven systems, preferably in claims processing or similarly high-volume transactional domains.
• Proven ability to analyze test failures, isolate root causes, and document defects in enterprise defect tracking tools (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps).
• Experience testing APIs, services, and data transformations across complex system integrations.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD tooling such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps Pipelines.
• Ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
