- CI/CD Integration: Integrate automated tests into Jenkins/GitHub Actions pipelines to ensure a seamless "Shift-Left" testing approach.
- Collaboration: Work closely with Developers and Product Managers to identify edge cases and provide technical feedback on system design.
- Mentorship (Sr. Role): Lead quality initiatives, mentor junior engineers, and drive the adoption of best practices across the engineering org.
- Core Java: Strong proficiency in Java (Collections, Streams, Multithreading, and OOPs).
- API Automation: Extensive experience with RestAssured, Karate, or similar libraries.
- Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA): Strong problem-solving skills; ability to optimize test code and pass technical coding assessments.
- Backend Testing: Deep understanding of Microservices, JSON/XML, and Database validation (SQL/NoSQL).
- Containerization: Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes for managing test infrastructure.
- Build Tools: Proficiency with Maven or Gradle.
- Experience with Performance Testing tools (e.g., JMeter, Gatling).
