Integrate diverse perspectives to make well-informed decisions that balance feasibility, viability, usability, and value. Foster a collaborative environment that enhances team synergy and innovation.

Advanced Technical Proficiency: Possess deep expertise in modern quality engineering practices and principles, including Agile methodologies and DevSecOps to deliver daily product deployments using techniques like fully automated in-sprint testing to accept the stories and work products throughout the SDLC lifecycle. Be a role model, leveraging these techniques to optimize solutioning and product delivery. Demonstrate a strong understanding of the full lifecycle product development, focusing on continuous improvement and learning.

Domain Expertise: Quickly acquire domain-specific knowledge relevant to the business or product. Translate business/user needs and UX/UI designs into test automation. Be a valuable, flexible, and dedicated team member, supportive of teammates and focused on quality and tech debt payoff.

Effective Communication and Influence: Exhibit exceptional communication skills, capable of articulating complex technical concepts clearly and compellingly. Inspire and influence teammates and product teams through well-structured arguments and trade-offs supported by evidence. Create coherent narratives that align technical solutions with business objectives.

Engagement and Collaborative Co-Creation: Engage and collaborate with product engineering teams at all organizational levels, including customers as needed. Build and maintain constructive relationships, fostering a culture of co-creation and shared momentum towards achieving product goals. Align diverse perspectives and drive consensus to create feasible solutions.

Key Qualifications:

A bachelors degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related discipline. An advanced degree (e.g., MS) is preferred but not required. Experience is the most relevant factor.

• 8+ years of experience in quality assurance and test automation, including coding the test scripts.
• Strong hands-on experience with TOSCA and automation-first BDD (Gherkin) techniques is required.
• Hands-on experience with Selenium, Functionize, Testim, and AccelQ is preferred.
• Experience with AI/GenAI tools and frameworks in test automation is preferred.
• Experience with cloud hyper-scalers like Azure, AWS, and GCP is required.
• Strong understanding of methodologies and tools such as XP, Lean, SAFe, DevSecOps, ADO, GitHub, SonarQube, etc. to deliver high quality products rapidly.

Excellent interpersonal and organizational skills, with the ability to handle diverse situations, complex projects, and changing priorities, behaving with passion, empathy, and care.
