• CI/CD Integration & Systems Testing: Integrate automated test suites seamlessly into modern CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) to establish reliable, automated quality gates
• Write and execute load, performance, and API stress tests to understand system limits
• Utilize observability telemetry (logs, metrics, tracing) to isolate bottlenecks in lower environments
• Ensure NFR’s, security, localization and performances are gated
• Hands-On Engineering & Code Quality: Write clean, efficient, and maintainable production-grade code
• Actively participate in code reviews for both the test framework and the core application, holding the team to high standards for coding practices
