Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain automation-first testing frameworks for web applications built on React, Next.js, and Node.js
• Own test strategy, test planning, and testing timelines across projects
• Design scalable testing architecture, including automation layers, test data strategy, and environment setup
• Determine what should be automated vs. manually tested to maximize ROI and reduce regression time
• Evaluate features from a real-user and UX perspective, not just functional correctness
• Proactively identify edge cases, logical gaps, and quality risks early in the development lifecycle
• Join projects at any phase (start, mid, or pre-release) and quickly stabilize quality
• Collaborate with developers and product teams to shift quality left
• Use AI effectively to understand codebases, features, and workflows, reducing KT and onboarding time
• Leverage agentic AI workflows to accelerate test design, coverage, and analysis
• Handle client communication related to quality, resolve conflicts, and take quality-first decisions when trade-offs arise
• Continuously improve the testing process to reduce timelines while increasing release confidence
