Automation Architect, AI, Cloud & Quality Engineering

1. Automation Framework Engineering

·                     Collaborate closely with developers to understand system architecture, data flows, and event-driven behaviors for effective automation design.

• Build and enhance end-to-end automation frameworks supporting API, integration, and data validation layers.
• Develop integration test suites to ensure reliability and stability across development and pre-production environments.
• Automate regression, functional, and event-driven validations using Playwright, PyTest, TestNG, and related tools.
• Contribute to modernization initiatives transitioning from legacy to distributed systems, ensuring comprehensive automation coverage and system resilience.

2. AI & Intelligent Test Enablement

·                     Leverage tools such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and LLM-based agents to assist in automation scripting, test generation, and analysis.

• Integrate GenAI tools for test documentation, failure triage, and predictive quality analytics.
• Experiment with autonomous testing agents capable of self-triggering and monitoring test pipelines.
• Drive the adoption of AI-enhanced automation strategies to improve efficiency, quality insights, and test coverage.

3. Cloud & DevOps Integration

·                     Integrate automation frameworks within CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, TeamCity) to enable continuous validation.

• Deploy and manage test environments on AWS (EKS, SQS, Glue, Lambda, DynamoDB, PostgreSQL).
• Implement observability and test telemetry to monitor pipeline health, performance, and coverage trends.
• Collaborate with DevOps and platform engineering teams to ensure environment consistency, scalability, and release readiness.

4. Agile Collaboration & Leadership

·                     Actively participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies—including sprint planning, daily standups, and retrospectives—to align testing and development objectives.

• Mentor engineers in automation best practices and modern framework adoption.
• Foster cross-functional alignment by collaborating with developers, architects, and product owners to ensure quality is engineered from the start.
• Champion a quality-first culture by embedding continuous testing and automation throughout the delivery lifecycle.
