  • Design, implement, and scale UI/API/DB automation frameworks (Selenium java/UFT, RestAssured/Postman, Cucumber/BDD, TestNG/JUnit).
  • Integrate automated suites into CI/CD (Azure DevOps/Jenkins/GitLab) with quality gates, parallelization, test impact analysis, and artifact publishing.
  • Establish coding standards for test harnesses, mocks, data builders, and service virtualization; enforce code reviews and static analysis for test code.

Domain-Focused Testing (Banking)

  • Translate banking use cases (core deposits/loans, ACH/wires, card/payments, digital banking) into robust automated scenarios and data validations.
  • Partner with product owners and vendor teams (e.g., Client, internal platforms) to triage defects, validate patches/hotfixes, and maintain regression beds.

Program Leadership & Governance

  • Lead a squad of SDETs/QA engineers—capacity planning, mentoring, and upskilling on advanced automation topics.
  • Orchestrate defect triage, root-cause analysis, and risk-based test planning; own release readiness (go/no-go) and rollback validation.
  • Drive shift-left practices (contract testing, API first, early data checks) and shift-right observability (synthetic monitoring, production validation dashboards).
  • Compliance & Security

Required Qualifications

  • Proven delivery of CI/CD-integrated automation at scale; expert in test design for microservices, REST APIs, and event-driven systems.
  • BFSI domain experience—core banking or payments—and vendor/platform collaboration (e.g., Client) for patch/regression cycles.
  • Solid grasp of SQL and data validation; familiarity with logs/metrics (Splunk/Sumo/Grafana) for test diagnostics.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience with OSAT-style regression accelerators or similar enterprise frameworks; comfortable with shift-left/shift-right test strategies.
  • Performance testing (JMeter/LoadRunner)
