• Implement the adoption of AI for testing (e.g., GitHub Copilot) to accelerate test writing and increase overall test coverage.
• Leverage insights from recurring production incidents and participate in post-incident reviews to proactively create new unit, E2E, synthetic, or API tests that prevent recurring issues.
• Continuously evaluate and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our testing processes, tools, and overall quality pipeline.

• Experience with other test automation frameworks such as Cucumber, JUnit, or TestNG.
• Demonstrable practical experience utilizing AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) for accelerating test creation and optimization.
• Experience with AI/ML applications in testing (e.g., test generation, optimization, flakiness analysis, predictive quality)
• Demonstrable experience integrating advanced testing solutions into complex CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps).
• Solid understanding of DevOps/SRE principles, including practical experience with monitoring, observability, and cloud platforms.
