• Help reduce reliance on manual and outsourced QA efforts
• Execute and expand regression testing across multiple applications
• Integrate automated testing into Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines
• Partner closely with engineering, product, and DevOps teams
• Identify and prioritize high-value test scenarios for automation
• Contribute to QA standards, best practices, and automation strategy

• Support knowledge sharing, documentation, and reuse of automation frameworks
• Communicate progress, risks, and KPI trends to leadership

• Hands-on experience using AI tools (e.g., Claude) in development or QA workflows
• Experience testing web-based applications and APIs
• Strong understanding of:
• Regression testing strategies
• Test design and coverage
• Automation best practices
• Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, product, and DevOps teams

Preferred Qualifications
