• Own functional, integration, regression, and UAT quality for assigned applications and releases to ensure production readiness
• Design, build, and maintain scalable .NET (C#) automation frameworks for UI and API test suites to reduce manual regression effort
• Integrate automated tests into Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines and enforce quality gates that improve release confidence
• Execute exploratory and negative testing to uncover edge cases and provide actionable defect reports with root cause insights
• Collaborate with developers and product owners to shift testing left, increasing early defect detection and faster feedback loops
• Monitor test stability and pipeline failures, driving improvements to test reliability, reporting, and root-cause remediation
• Maintain test artifacts, dashboards, and evidence in Azure DevOps to support release readiness and quality metrics

What Will Put You Ahead

• Experience with BDD frameworks (SpecFlow / Gherkin) and writing executable specifications
• Exposure to performance testing tools or performance testing concepts
• Basic knowledge of security testing principles and OWASP risks
• Hands-on experience with frontend test tools like Playwright or Cypress, or testing modern UI components (e.g., Power Apps Component Framework)
