• Design, implement, and maintain a robust test automation strategy aligned with the test pyramid (unit, API, UI, and E2E testing).
• Establish automation frameworks for UI automation, API automation, and integrated system tests.
• Define engineering-quality KPIs and ensure test coverage supports daily/weekly release cycles in a highly integrated environment.
• Introduce best practices for continuous testing, shift-left testing, and quality gates.

SDLC Modernization & AI Integration

• Leverage AI/ML tools and automation to elevate SDLC speed, stability, defect prediction, and test efficiency.
• Recommend and implement AI solutions for code analysis, test generation, failure analysis, and workflow optimization.
• Influence architectural decisions by bringing a quality-first, automation-first perspective.

Leadership & Collaboration

• Serve as a technical leader for both onshore and offshore QA/Dev teams.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and DevOps teams to ensure high-quality, high velocity delivery.
• Mentor engineers in test design, automation practices, and quality engineering principles.

Continuous Delivery & Release Readiness

• Enable engineering teams to release daily or weekly by strengthening CI/CD quality gates.
• Automate validation of complex workflows across multiple integrated systems.
• Drive efficiency improvements and reduce cycle time through automation and tooling enhancements.
