Design, build, and maintain automation frameworks using Selenium and/or Playwright for UI, API, and end-to-end validation
Drive automation-first approach across functional, regression, integration, and release testing cycles
Integrate automation suites with CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous testing and faster feedback loops
Leverage GenAI and AI Agents to enhance test design, optimize coverage, automate test generation, and improve defect detection
Collaborate with product, engineering, DevOps, and business stakeholders to ensure quality is embedded across the lifecycle
Identify risks proactively and provide solution-oriented mitigation strategies aligned with delivery timelines
Own automation metrics, KPIs, and continuous improvement initiatives to increase efficiency and coverage
Ensure high-quality releases through strong validation practices, traceability, and governance
Travel to the designated lab, as required, to perform hands-on hardware testing, validation, and troubleshooting.

Required Qualifications

5+ years of hands-on experience in software test automation (UI, API, integration) and functional testing.
1+ year of experience in GenAI / AI Agents for testing, productivity, or engineering use cases

Strong expertise in:

Selenium and/or Playwright automation frameworks
Programming languages such as Java, Python, or JavaScript
API testing tools (Rest Assured, Postman, etc.)
Solid understanding of: Software Testing Lifecycle (STLC) and SDLC
Agile and DevOps practices
