Responsibilities

Lead design, implementation, and maintenance of test automation frameworks, tools, and infrastructure across platforms (mobile, hybrid, backend, APIs)

Build tools, scripts, or capabilities using AI / ML-assisted test generation, test case optimization, or anomaly detection to improve coverage and reduce manual effort

Create and own test suites: unit, integration, UI, end-to-end, regression, performance, load, and stress tests

Integrate test automation into CI/CD pipelines, gate builds, and automate release validations

Collaborate with mobile, hybrid, and backend engineers to define testing strategies, API contracts, failure modes, and observability for testability

Instrument test environments, monitor test health, coverage, flakiness, and reliability metrics

Design test data management, mocking, virtualization, and service simulation setups for cross-system testing

Continuously improve test architecture, reduce test execution times, and scale for parallel / distributed test runs

Troubleshoot production / pre-production issues that surface via automated test failures; investigate root causes, define fixes, and improve resilience

Stay up-to-date on AI / ML tooling (e.g. GPT-based test generation, self-healing tests, anomaly detection) and propose adoption strategies
