- Design, develop, and maintain scalable automated tests for backend services, APIs, and integrations.
- Implement comprehensive testing strategies covering functional, performance, integration, and security use cases.
- Perform manual testing for new features early in the development cycle to validate functionality, usability, and edge cases.
- Collaborate with developers to embed quality into design and development workflows (shift-left testing).
- Build automated regression suites integrated into CI/CD pipelines to support continuous deployment.
