  • Engineer Enablement: Guide and coach Engineers on effective testing standards, test design, and writing high-quality automated tests.
  • Risk & Security Integration: Audit and review test coverage and code quality, contributing to risk identification (including Abuse Case Testing) and integrating threat modeling with the Security team.
REQUIREMENTS:
Automation Frameworks: Strong proficiency in designing, developing and maintaining reusable, scalable automation frameworks (Cypress for UI, Postman/Newman for API), coupled with a deep understanding of RESTful APIs and complex system interactions.
