Key Responsibilities (Day-to-Day)
- Test Strategy & Planning: Understand project scopes and design comprehensive, flexible testing activities tailored to specific project needs.
- Test Architecture Decision-Making: Evaluate and decide the exact types of testing required per project (e.g., API, UI, integration, regression, E2E).
- Tooling & Infrastructure Development: Work collaboratively with the team to build, scale, and improve our technical toolkit—including continuous integration pipelines, reporting, quality dashboards, and test environments.
- Multi-Project Ownership: Comfortably balance capacity and switch context across several concurrent projects without sacrificing quality standards.
- Automation Engineering: Write, maintain, and execute automated test scripts and shell scripts using Java, Python, and Bash.
- Agile, Process, & Quality First Mentorship: Understand Scrum and broader Agile methodologies across projects; actively guide development teams on a Quality First mindset, quality processes, testing procedures, and best practices within project cycles.
- AI & Intelligent QA Tooling: Understand, apply, and integrate AI tools, AI agents, and automated scripts into workflows to help engineering teams streamline quality assurance—improving both development process efficiency and overall code quality.
Must-Have Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience as a Software Engineer in Test (SET), QA Automation Engineer, or similar technical quality role.

- Agile/Scrum: Understanding of Agile/Scrum practices (sprint planning, backlog refinement, retrospectives).
- Solid Git Knowledge: Hands-on experience with version control concepts, branch strategy, PR reviews, and merge conflict resolution.
- Strong Programming & Scripting: Hands-on proficiency in Java and Python for test framework development, alongside Bash scripting within Unix/Linux environments.
- Broad Testing & CI/CD Expertise: Strong experience across API, UI, and integration testing, fully integrated into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI).
- AI Concepts & Ecosystem Knowledge: Understanding of AI Agents, MCP (Model Context Protocol) specifications, Agent Skills/Tools, and prompt engineering to build intelligent test runners or automated quality checks. Context management, including prompt window optimization, knowledge base retrieval strategies, and maintaining session state for complex, multi-turn AI-driven execution.
Nice-to-Have Qualifications
- Experience managing custom test reporting dashboards (e.g., Snowflake, Grafana).
- Knowledge of performance and load testing frameworks (e.g., JMeter, Locust, K6).
