• Design, develop, and maintain TOSCA automated test scripts, scenarios, data, and cases across GUI, API, and service layers.
• Contribute to and uplift our TOSCA automation frameworks, supporting our automation‑first strategy.
• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Git, Bitbucket, Bamboo, Jenkins, or GitHub Actions.
• Log, manage, and communicate defects clearly, collaborating with squads and Product Owners to resolution.
• Advocate for quality thinking across design, build, and delivery — not just test execution.
• Contribute to the QA Engineering Practice through knowledge sharing, continuous improvement, and mentoring.
