  • Collaborate with developers and product teams to shift-left quality practices
  • Perform cross-browser and cross-platform testing
  • Work with mocking, stubbing, and test data management
  • Analyze failures, debug issues, and ensure high test stability and reliability
  • Contribute to test strategy, coverage planning, and release quality metrics
  • Mentor junior QA engineers and drive automation best practices

 

Required Skills & Experience:

  • 5+ years of experience in QA Automation / SDET roles
